Matt BowenWith so many places having done layoffs lately, I wanted to mention the US Digital Service is hiring. It's a wild place to work, but also you get to work on legitimately meaningful projects that affect a lot of people (in 2022, we made it easier for transgender ppl to get passports, helped low-income families buy food, and I got to help identify disadvantage communities for environmental funding). I'm happy to talk about USDS if you're on the fence. http://ow.ly/LpqJ50LVnPV #fedihire #fedijobs
cat anthropologist 🏳️⚧️@mattbowen does the drug test include cannabis? i know at least some federal agencies have changed policies about that in recent years..
@justizin I got an official answer, and it's, well, official, so I've gotta break it into two posts: "As a Federal employer, we are required to follow governance on maintaining a drug-free workplace. As part of that, all Executive Office of the President, including USDS, employees are confidentially screened for cannabis and other substances. However, this is one factor that is part of a multi-point security determination..." (see next post for the rest)
@justizin (con't) "... The whole person and their background is considered and we encourage you to apply. Though, we cannot speak to what security will determine as it's case-by-case and unique to the holistic investigation"
@mattbowen fair enough, ty for checking!
