Seasonal Employees supplement permanent staff and help with a great variety of departmental activities. Seasonal employment is a great way to gain experience and to learn about CDFW. Seasonal Employees are not required to take examinations before appointment. Seasonal employees may collect field data on fish, wildlife, and plants; collect wildlife samples and specimens; clean out fish and animal enclosures; install fish screens and ladders; or maintain building equipment.
The most common classifications are Fish and Wildlife Seasonal Aids, Fish and Wildlife Scientific Aids, Seasonal Clerks, and Student Assistants.
