On Monday, January 19, 2009 at 12 am, we anticipate that the job
announcement for a "Business Development Specialist" will be posted on
USAJobs. We also anticipate that the announcement will close at 11:59 pm
on
Monday, February 9, 2009. The announcement numbers are ODEP 09-052DE and
ODEP 09-052M (one is for applicants with Federal employment status and
the
other is for applicants not in the Federal system - I don't know which
is
which since they are not yet posted so please read the announcement
carefully.)



The position is in the Policy Communication & Outreach division and the
person hired will be primarily assigned to assist in the management of
the
Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP). The WRP was developed as a summer
jobs
program for post-secondary students with disabilities to provide them
with
exposure to careers in the Federal government and resume enhancing
experience. A secondary benefit is that hiring managers with limited
disability experience learn that employees with disabilities are a
valued
addition to the workforce.



All positions in the Division of Policy Communication & Outreach (PC&O)
are
"Business Development Specialists." All staff work with a variety of
internal and external stakeholders including the policy and program ODEP
staff, other Federal agency staff, private and public employers, and a
variety of organizations and associations. PC&O is also responsible for
coordinating the production of a wide range of web-based and printed
educational materials and organizing events and stakeholder information
sessions.



All interested candidates should visit the USAJobs web site at
http://www.usajobs.gov/



Interested candidates with disabilities who would like to be considered
under the Federal Schedule A (the announcement will reference "Document
Special Hiring Authority") will also need to indicate they are Schedule
A
eligible and be prepared to submit documentation (e.g., letter from a
vocational rehabilitation counselor, medical provider, etc.)



Please share this information with anyone you think may be interested
and
qualified for this position.
