New USAJobs Website Up and Running
I WANT YOU...to look at the sleek new website I put on the Internets.

FYI, the newest version of the USAJobs website is now up and running. We haven’t poked around on it yet. In concept the redesign seemed promising. The Government Executive news site reports as follows:
According to the Office of Personnel Management, the new USAJobs was designed to make the employment search process easier for potential hires and federal recruiters alike. One official even compared the revised system to Amazon and other major retail sites that allow users to “window shop” and find the products they are seeking with ease.
But as with any overhaul, glitches and confusion are bound to occur. We’ve had a hard time connecting to the site, and the USAJobs Facebook page has been flooded with complaints that the system isn’t functional or user-friendly.
It’s not surprising that there might be a glitch or two, but let’s hope all of that gets taken care of soon. Good luck, federal job seekers! (And don’t forget to take advantage of our free 2011-12 Federal Legal Employment Opportunities Guide.)
