Qualifications for Forestry Technician

Hello everyone, so besides having relevant experience (2025 Hotshot for the Feds with CA EMT and 2026 Forestry Technician), do I need anything else to better my chances of being a Forestry Technician?

And when do the job postings become available?

I'd like to have a full-time job and root myself somewhere instead of moving all the time.

Off season work

Does anyone know of any National Parks in CA, OR, and WA that have year round work?

This will be my 2nd season in the USFS (2025 wildland firefighter, 2026 forestry tech). I've obtained my CA EMT in 2026 hoping to find work in Northern Cali or OR but I didnt have any luck. So I decided to enter back into the USFS

I found my calling working out in nature and I just want to be rooted somewhere instead of moving all the time.
