[MDABS] Vacancy Announcement: Equal Employment Opportunity Specialist

Mon Jul 1 21:56:33 UTC 2024

Folks,

I'm seeking to fill a GS-13 vacancy for an Equal Employment Opportunity
Specialist on my staff.  This is a GS-13 position.  The position is located
in Baltimore, with frequent telework available - our current policy for
positions of this nature is one day in the office per week.  Those with
Schedule A eligibility are encouraged to apply.

There are two vacancy announcements - one for members of the public (DE),
and the other for current and former Federal employees (MP).  The Schedule A
opportunity is part of the current and former Federal employee opportunity,
even if those individuals have never worked for the government (I don't know
why it's set up that way).  Those who wish to apply for both postings can do
so as long as they are eligible.
