[blindlaw] binders = Schedule A? (a nonpartisan question)

[William T. Miller]

Theoretically there is a process similar to the "binders" mentioned in the
last presidential debate: Schedule A. I'm curious if this list feels that
schedule A is an effective process? My understanding of Schedule A is that
disabled candidates for federal positions can post for jobs before they are
posted publicly and, if qualified, the hiring manager may hire them
noncompetitively. However, I don't understand how disabled job candidates
are supposed to know of potential jobs before they are posted to the public.
If disabled candidates have no way of knowing what Schedule A opportunities
exists, then how can he or she take advantage of the program? I'm definitely
no expert on this topic, so if anyone on the list can correct me and explain
how one applies for a specific position as a Schedule A candidate, please
enlighten me.
Thank you,

Will Miller

Subject: [blindlaw] "Question" Posting

Hello List:

I am the one who posted the "question" about why disabled job seekers aren't
being asked for binders full of their resumes to get more of "us" into the
workplace. It was my blatant reference to a comment made during the
presidential debate.

In view of the on list and off list reprimands I have received about the
posting, I feel that I should go onto the list and apologize for posting
what is, as it has been pointed out to me repeatedly, an off topic message.

I had thought that, in view of the underlying unemployment  issues that face
those of us on the list, and those of us who regularly post job listings,
such as myself and Noel Nightengale, that an idea to improve the employment
situation would be net with some positive thought provocation.

 Since I was wrong, I apologize to the list as a whole for my off topic
posting. It will not happen again.
