A new administration will move in to the White House next month, and President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris need to fill some jobs.
“In this moment, we must harness the passion, creativity, talent, and ingenuity of the American people to build back better and restore faith in our government. We are committed to building an Administration that looks like America and works for all Americans.
“Join us,” the Biden-Harris Transition website buildbackbetter.gov states.
In addition to your name and other information, you can upload your resumé and cover letter, and check a few boxes about what your interests are.
For example, there are seven choices for “desired function”: communications, legal, legislative, scheduling/advance/protocol, management/administration and information technology.
But there are hundreds of department, agency, board and commission choices you can select on the application, including in the vice president’s office.
“The President-Elect is committed to an administration that looks like America. We are an equal opportunity employer, and it is our policy not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, parental status, military service, or any other non-merit factor,” the application states.
You’ll be asked your gender, with option to choose male, female, nonbinary/third gender, another gender or prefer not to say.
The application will also give you the opportunity to share if you’re a child of immigrants, the first member of your family to attend college or if you identify with a community that has historically been underrepresented in government.
