Many state and local governments recognize that Federal government layoffs are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the US public and private sector to hire the best and brightest candidates right now.
They are actively recruiting Federal staff, contractors, and consultants recently furloughed or laid off (or about to be). Many are expediting the recruitment process, including Hawai’i, which is promising an offer letter within 14 days of your application - wow!
There are many state and local government efforts you’ll learn about on Tuesday, including: New York State, Hawai’i, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Fairfax County.
We’ll even have recruiters from the governments on hand to answer your questions about state and local employment opportunities and processes.
