I know Prof. Kane had blogged about change.gov, and I wanted to add some additional color after reading today's paper. It looks like there are approximately 7,000 government jobs that open up after each president leaves office. These jobs are referred to as "politically appointed, or non career positions", according to the article. Areas of interest are accounting, communications, law, engineering, technology and education. Unfortunately, there are no finance jobs for those like me. But to be honest, I am very happy where I am currently. You can go and get a description of the jobs available at gpoaccess.gov, or through print editions of the Plum Book. After finding a job that interests you, the application can be filled out and submitted on change.gov, just like Prof. Kane did. The article mentions that if you are serious about applying, make sure you specify what type of job you want, it will improve your chances. There are some factors that will not pass the screening process like poor credit rating, failure to pay income taxes, and child-support delinquency......For those who are looking for jobs, looking for a change of pace, or simply supporters of the next administration, this might be something of interest. Cheers!
