Washington, D.C. -- U.S. Office of Personnel Management Director Janice Lachance announced today that it soon will be easier for statisticians, mathematical statisticians, and computer specialists to apply for federal positions at the Bureau of the Census thanks to the development of three customized on-line applications for OPMs USAJOBS web site.
The project developed jointly by the Bureau of the Census and OPM allows applicants to answer occupation-specific questions on-line. The information is then fed into OPMs automated examining system to determine the applicants qualifications. Applicant resumes and other supporting narrative documents are stored as electronic images for job referral to the Bureau of the Census.
Director Lachance said, The new on-line application system eliminates the need for paper and provides a quicker match for applicant and employer.
The new system is scheduled to go into operation the week of January 26. It is located at the USAJOBS web site at http://www.usajobs.gov.
