    Messages from the Executive Committee of the Polish American Congress - NJ Division


    For Immediate Release:     January 8th, 2001

    We have had questions about jobs with the new Administration in response to the notice PAC put out to send in resumes.

    For information on jobs which may become available, we have found the following government publication which is available over the internet.

    Every four years, just after the Presidential election, the "United States Government Policy and Supporting Positions," commonly known as the Plum Book, is published, alternately, by the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government Reform. (from the "Foreward")

    This publication contains data on over 7,000 Federal civil service leadership and support positions in the legislative and executive branches of the Federal Government that may be subject to noncompetitive appointment...they are located throughout the US and internationally.

    The address for the Plum Book is:   http://www.gpo.gov/plumbook/2000/toc.html

    OPPORTUNITIES WITH NEW ADMINISTRATION

    President-Elect George W. Bush has established his Transition Team office and is currently selecting his Cabinet.  It has been announced that there will be thousands of positions to be filled in Washington and around the country by the new Administration.  The Polish American Congress is urging all Polish Americans who are seeking jobs with the next Administration to send their resumes to the PAC office in Chicago.  They will then be forwarded to the Transition Team with appropriate referrals.

    Send all resumes with cover letters to:

    Polish American Congress
    5711 N. Milwaukee Ave.
    Chicago, IL  60646-6294

    Please remember, it is not enough to send a resume, which may get lost in the thousands of resumes received by the Transition Team from eager applicants.  Please indicate specific positions for which you feel you are best qualified, and the agency or department, listing your priority choices, if more than one.

    "It has long been evident that Polish Americans are under-represented in Washington and other places of influence within the US government," PAC President Edward Moskal stated.  "We now have a chance to correct this situation. Polonia has exceptionally qualified candidates.  It is time we supported our own."
