Alert: USAJobs website going dark for 1 week


If you have used the USAJobs website, you should be aware that due to an upcoming upgrade, it will go dark for about one week. 
While USAJobs goes dark, between October 6th and 12th, no new federal job postings will be put online and OPM officials are currently working with federal agencies to extend application deadlines for jobs posted on the site. According to the Washington Post, the site currently costs about $6 million a year to operate with the agency planning to invest an additional $6 million in improvements over the next year. Visitors to the new and improved USAJobs can expect a more streamlined experience, with periodic updates of application statuses and the eliminating of users having to enter their personal and professional data multiple times.
