Welcome to the Jobs Opportunity Bulletin Board System (JOBBS) Website JOBBS is an electronic bulletin board sytem sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE) for use by DOE federal and contractor employees who may be at risk of losing their jobs. It provides a forum for communication that allows DOE federal and contractor employees to use JOBBS capabilities to search for new positions that are available through DOE contractor employers by accessing want ads. To apply or find out more information about a want ad located on this website, please forward all inquiries to the point of contact that is listed on the want ad. No Cost to Use There are no fees to qualified job seekers or to potential employers who use this system. However, users may incur long distance charges for Internet access to access JOBBS. Preference in Hiring The Department of Energy requires preferential hiring of any displaced DOE contractor employee who is designated a Cold War Worker (CWW). CWW refers to employees hired on or before September 27, 1991, who have worked full-time since that date and up to the date of their reduction-in-force notification. Part-time employees must meet the industry standard equivalent to full-time employment. It is the obligation of all contractors and subcontractors to verify the status of all individuals who stated that they are eligible for preference in hiring. Also, it is the obligation of all contractors to track and monitor all preference-in-hiring activity at their sites. This hiring preference is mandated by Section 3161 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993. Extensive information on the preference-in-hiring policy is available in the Department of Energy's guidance document entitled Planning Guidance for Contractor Work Force Restructuring. Additional work force restructuring guidance can be found at http://www.lm.doe.gov/benefits/restructuring/restructuring.htm.
