Have you always wanted to be an influencer? The Washington State Department of Natural Resources is looking for a few good people. Maybe even more than a few.
We're hiring influencers and by that I mean firefighters who influence the forest to no longer be on fire.

There might even be some subterfuge going on in the hiring process.
Slip me some cheese curds, and I'll move your application to the top...

Whether this results in a surge in applications, it sure has made the Washington DNR popular among Twitter users. Other government agencies are jealous.
Um...totally stealing this idea.
