Commerce Dept looking for talent for CARES (COVID-19)

[Saxum]

As many have heard I work for USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office).  This was sent out in urgent email.  No work listed in WNY however but that does not mean right person would not be hired in WNY for other locations.  The list is not public list but if someone is interested I can see if there is something which matches your resume and pass on.  Most organizations take passed on resumes with higher priority than those obtained elsewhere and it is how I got my job at Raytheon in 2004 from a poster here. 

 

Work is located in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, & Seattle regional offices but most common location is Washington DC.

There are some field based positions 

• (Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin) report to Chicago 
• (Kansas City, and any other state within EDA Denver region) to Denver.
