EIA is committed to recruiting, retaining and motivating a highly-skilled,
diverse and productive workforce. Hear from some of our newest employees
(in their own words) about why they chose EIA!
"I worked at the U.S Census Bureau for more than 25 years with primary
responsibilities for collecting, processing, and disseminating data
regarding the finances and employment of federal, state and local
government. I chose to transfer to EIA for a variety of reasons
including the relevance of our mission to provide policy neutral energy
information. I was attracted by the agency’s great location on
the Mall and access to public transportation. EIA faces many
challenges in terms of recruitment, retention, knowledge transfer, and
standardization of data collection procedures. I felt confident
that my Census Bureau experiences would enable me to make a difference
at EIA. I look forward tackling these issues and working with
many of the EIA staff in the years to come."

"While considering new employment opportunities I was presented with
several options. I chose EIA because I’d have the opportunity to work
with a diverse team of experts on matters of national and international
importance. Coming from another statistical agency, I was particularly
impressed with EIA’s track record, the amount of information they
provided to the public, and the independence under which the
organization is chartered. That “freedom from politics” is an ideal
situation for the kind of work that EIA does in informing policy and
the general public. I’m certain I made the right decision."

"The
EIA is one the few agencies in the government that not only serves a
key role in helping policy makers and legislators better understand the
energy industry but is also relied upon by the private sector energy
industry as well. I had used EIA data extensively at graduate school
and as an energy consultant so was proud to have an opportunity to
contribute to such an important industry resource. Also, after 7 years
in the private sector, I felt that the EIA offered an unbeatable
balance of interesting work and quality of life."

"
I chose to work at EIA because it offered a unique opportunity to use
my quantitative analysis skills in an exciting but policy-neutral
environment. Working at EIA is rewarding not only because our
data collection and analysis efforts deal with extremely important
issues, but also because EIA directly serves such a wide audience with
its outputs. As a new employee at EIA, I have particularly
enjoyed the many opportunities to collaborate with – and learn
substantially from – EIA’s talented and knowledgeable staff."

"I
chose to pursue a career at the EIA because it serves as an aperture
into a world where science and technology converge with the financial
markets which in turn both converge with global geopolitics. As a
polymer scientist and economist by training, and with a fervent
attentiveness for international affairs, the EIA offered an ideal
opportunity to gain expertise at the intersection of all three of these
disciplines. In an era of robust global economic growth,
increasing energy demand, pressing environmental concerns, investments
in new technologies, and increasing trends toward nationalization of
resources, a career in energy economics has never been more momentous
than it is today."

"I
chose to work at EIA out of college because it offered a great
opportunity to contribute immediately and work on some of the biggest
issues facing the world today. I get the chance to apply the economic
theory I learned in school, while working in an extremely talented team
environment. With all of EIA’s weekly and monthly publications, you can
really see the tangible results of your work, which makes the job very
satisfying. Whether through valuable work experience or continued
training and education, I know that working here will provide a boost
for my future career development in government or in the private
sector."

"With
a background in statistics, I was looking for a position that would
allow me to apply my quantitative skills in an arena that would be both
interesting and rewarding. EIA has provided the perfect opportunity.
The emergence and current focus on energy issues has kept things
interesting. Working with data that informs the public and literally
affects the future of energy policy is rewarding."
