Do states usually require applicants for government jobs (e.g. park ranger) to be residents of that state?
I live in the midwest, but I'm interested in working in other areas of the country. There are several states I'm interested in (such as Washington, Oregon, and California, among others). I'm interested in applying for state park ranger jobs or various other state-level positions. So, are these types of jobs usually restricted to residents of that particular state? Thanks!

- No such restriction.
- Apply for them if you are willing to relocate yourself. There are also relocation programs that the government offers. they will sell your house for you, pay for transporting furniture/equipment & will pay for temporary housing quarters. There are no restrictions to apply for govt jobs, just make sure your a U.S. citizen and have a clean record :D
- Generally speaking, I haven't seen this restriction. However, as was mentioned, you'd have to be willing to cover your own relocation expenses. One thing you might wish to mention in a cover letter is that you are hoping to move to (state) and are willing to relocate. I've noticed that sometimes it can be difficult to even get the interview when you're out of state, because the interviewers assume you won't be willing to pay those costs. Make it subtly clear that you will!
