The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission follows our Merit Based Recruitment and Selection Plan to select highly qualified individuals to work here. We post advertisements for vacant positions as they occur. Vacancies will be posted for at least five business days. Positions may be advertised as full-time or part-time and permanent, temporary or time-limited.
The Wildlife Resources Commission accepts applications for positions that are actively under recruitment through the new Online Job Application System found at Office of State Personnel website. Although a resume can accompany an application, the information contained on the application is the primary source of information when we evaluate and select applicants.
Each vacancy announcement will list the minimum education and experience requirements for the position, along with the required knoweldge, skills and abilities. You must meet or exceed those requirements in order to be considered for a position.
When you identify a position under recruitment for which you meet the minimum requirements, send a completed State of North Carolina application to the Wildlife Resources Commission. You must submit a separate application for each position you apply for and include the position number on the application. We use any application you submit only for the position listed on it - we do not keep applications on file. The application you complete represents an opportunity to highlight your experience, knowledge, skills and abilities and to demonstrate how they relate to the advertised position. Only the most highly qualified applicants are selected for interviews.
To complete an application, please include all work experience that gives your the Knowledge, Skills and Abilities listed in the job announcement.
The PD107 file is the main application. The PD107a file is a continuation sheet that is used if you need additional space to include your work history. Resumes are not accepted in lieu of an application.
The application is also available at Employment Security Commission offices throughout the state. For a listing of locations, please visit the Employment Security Commission Web site.
When we are recruiting for Wildlife Enforcement officers, a vacancy announcement will be listed on the Office of State Personnel Web site. We can only accept applications during the period the openings are posted. There are additional forms required to apply for a Wildlife Enforcement Officer Position.
