Civil Service Steps Up Recruitment

The Washington Post reports:

Civil service leaders announced a media campaign yesterday to lure talented applicants to the federal workforce at the same time that a new study says the government needs to do a more effective job of recruiting college students for federal jobs.

Linda M. Springer, director of the Office of Personnel Management, said the agency will begin airing four 30-second television ads featuring federal employees touting the work they do and encouraging viewers to explore job opportunities at http://www.usajobs.gov/ . The ads come as the federal government faces an unprecedented wave of retirements among the baby-boom generation, with about 60 percent of the government's 1.8 million workers eligible to retire over the next 10 years.


"We often call it the retirement tsunami," Springer said. "We've got to get ready for it."

The government is seem to be always hiring.
