By: FEDweek StaffA posting on performance.gov touts several features recently added to the usajobs.gov site, including a “career explorer” feature aimed at early career professionals designed for “making it easy for rising leaders to explore their options and land meaningful jobs.”
“Users log on, answer a few questions, and receive science-backed results connecting them with job openings based on their interests, skills, and needs. A 15-minute quiz can launch a career that lasts a lifetime – time well spent in both regards,” it says.
The other, a resource page focused on early career talent, “walks through the benefits of a federal career, shares tips for navigating the application process, and connects users with exciting opportunities like the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service Program, and the Pathways Programs which offer paid fellowships and internships.”
Those features, part of the Biden administration’s President’s Management Agenda priority on federal hiring, reflect “an intentional shift in our hiring approach to focus on a candidate’s skills (regardless if they were learned in a classroom, on a job, or through life experiences)” along with dedicated hubs on usajobs for internships, STEM positions, national security and foreign jobs, and others, it says.
The Trump administration is expected to issue its own management agenda; its agenda during the prior Trump term focused more on accountability for current employees rather than on hiring and career development.
