My old #fedtech boss just came to me looking for ways to get eyes on a #civictech posting and it was great to have a curated list of resources to hand her.
I know there are a lot of #job seekers out there right now, so I'll just throw this out there:
I've worked in #civicTech for my whole career so far, including a tiny state agency, an enormous state agency, a small federal agency, and an independent (quasi-governmental nonprofit) agency.
It has been at times disappointing and frustrating, but also monumentally rewarding.
If you have any questions about how to transition or whether you'd like it, ask away!
