Job and Grant Opportunities

In case folks are interested:

-The Office of Personnel Management is hiring a classification specialist (or specialists). I single this out because OPM put the listing in the newsfeed section of their website on the main page. I'm not sure I would have noticed it otherwise. But if you're a private-sector worker looking to come into government, an announcement like that sure is easy to find.

-With what seems like quite good timing, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service is opening up the application period for grants aimed at improving federal-sector labor-management relationships. With agency-level labor-management forums kicking off this spring, I imagine there will be a few places that could think of good uses for that money. The deadline to apply is June 30.
