"Don't ask me if I write rhymes, I WRITE CHECKS!"
Life got you down? Stuck in a rut because of the Economy? Currently unemployed, qualified, and hungry for the next big thing? Well I, and by I I mean Barack Obama, may have a job for you.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
"President-elect Barack Obama will be the country's next commander-in-chief. He could also be your next boss.
At the start of every new president's term, roughly 7,000 government jobs open up nationwide and abroad. Some are reserved for top officials and corporate leaders, but the majority of the positions are typically up for grabs.
The jobs, referred to as politically appointed or noncareer positions, span all levels and are in a range of fields, such as accounting, communications, law, engineering, technology, social services and education. They pay annual salaries ranging from $30,000 for low-level positions to $175,000 for the most senior jobs, plus health care and other benefits. Political experience isn't a prerequisite, nor is having campaigned for the incoming president.
There is a catch: The positions last only for the duration of the president's tenure.
If your interest is still piqued, now is the time to start your search. On Wednesday, the U.S. government announced which positions will become available and where they'll be located, in a print publication called the Plum Book. You can find a free online version at gpoaccess.gov. The positions are projected to be filled throughout the first year of the new administration, and will range from jobs such as director of accounting services for the Department of Defense to deputy manager of cleanup for the Department of Energy.
You can fill out a general application online now at change.gov, a site that offers news and events about the set-up of the Obama administration. You'll receive instructions via email at a later date on how to provide details about specific jobs that interest you."
So don't delay, apply today!
