*** Transitioning to the New USAJOBS!
The
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is changing USAJOBS for the better! To
best roll out the new and improved USAJOBS, the ability to search for jobs will
be offline from October 7-12, 2011.
The
transition to USAJOBS 3.0 is underway. Interested in what's going on behind the
scenes during this planned system transition? We promise there's no Wizard
behind the curtain, but there are over 5 billion lines of data being extracted
from the current system, scanned for viruses, and validated before importing
them into the new USAJOBS, USAJOBS 3.0. Assuming you have an account profile
and stored resume in the current system, yours is one of the 8.4 million
documents that will be transferred during this transition period. We're also
ensuring that agencies have an opportunity to restock the shelves with job
opportunities before we come back online after the holiday weekend. So, all the
moving parts are busy behind the scenes working hard to create a better
applicant experience for you.
Ever
wonder how jobs were published before the Internet? Learn more about the
