Federal Hiring Event Set for People with Disabilities
On April 26, 2010, ODEP and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) are sponsoring an historic day-long, invitation only Federal Hiring Event for People with Disabilities. Unlike a hiring fair, representatives from many agencies will be reviewing resumes prior to the event, and inviting prospective candidates for interviews. To be eligible for consideration, candidates must meet the criteria for the special hiring authority for People with Disabilities, or the appointing authority for 30% or More Disabled Veterans.
