EMS to NPS

Hello, I'm thinking of making a career change. I currently work as a medic in a metro hospital and am having a hard time with wanting to stay in the field. I currently have 4 years of EMS experience with mostly doing 12 hour shifts. Almost 2 years of being a paramedic. I have my AS as a paramedic.

My question is what would I need to do to get a job with the National Parks Service? FYI, no law enforcement. Also moving is not an issue. From looking at other reddit posts and the website, general skills in carpentry, electrician, Land management, or general biology would be helpful, however I don't really have skills in any of these. All of my college experience is wrapped up in healthcare. I do see you need public speaking and customer service skills, which I do have and learning how the land works would probably be the easiest for me to learn.

I understand whatever job I get will probably be temporary at first which I'm fine with, but I want to understand where I could go from here. I enjoy learning and am willing to put in the work to enter this world, but I'd like to develop a plan to enter it.
