Openings in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana
Release Date: August 21, 2006
Release Number: 1603-526
NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Human resources officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) report that more than 500 additional jobs will be available for Louisiana residents to help with the recovery of the state from the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. At full staff, the agency expects to have a workforce of about 1,300 employees. About 750 jobs have either been filled or have offers pending. All other jobs are open.
"We are putting together a talented, diverse staff," said Phyllis Allison, director of human resources for FEMA's Transitional Recovery Office in Louisiana. "Our jobs have good pay and excellent benefits, including paid vacation, sick leave, paid holidays, paid overtime and retirement benefits." All jobs are two year appointments with a possible extension.
Job openings include many housing-related positions, staff support, field work, office work and other positions related to disaster recovery. Workers might be on foot one day and at a desk the next day. The work is always interesting.
FEMA is highly regarded as a multi-cultural employer. A typical FEMA work team might have men and women of many cultures, ages and physical abilities. "The thing they all have in common is a desire to help their neighbors recover from disaster," said Allison.
To view the job listings and apply for a job, visit www.fema.gov/career. You will need to follow the directions carefully to have your application considered. There are several important steps. To be offered a job, each applicant must do all of the following:
Provide your Social Security number.
Indicate the posting number for the job.
State your preferred location if the job offers a choice.
Write your Knowledge, Skills and Abilities-this essay is known as a KSA. It is an explanation of your specific work experience, education and skills related to the job. This document forms the basis of your rating for the job.
Pass a suitability and background check including FBI fingerprint check.
To apply for more than one job, be sure to complete a separate application for each job. Successful applicants will be notified with a tentative job offer while the background check is being completed. If they accept, they will pledge an oath of office very similar to the oath pledged by the President of the United States.
"You know, this really is government for the people and by the people," said Allison. "Our Louisiana-based workforce will be perfect for the job ahead, and we're looking forward to having everybody on board very soon."
FEMA manages federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates mitigation activities, works with state and local emergency managers, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003.
Perseverence. Keep a positive attitude about your job search. Approach every interview as if it is your only one. Remember: you have the power to pick and choose because you have prepared yourself for this journey all your life! Your positivity should glow from you. You are the right candidate for the job position-prove it!
Attitude. This is the key element to having a successful interview. There are many candidates just as, or more qualified than you, but you can beat them with a highly positive "can do" attitude about work. Attitude is how employers "weed people out." Attitudes are the impressions recruiters are left with long after meeting yoou and hundreds of other job candidates. In the interview, convey your great work attitude in the language that you use: mention your excellence and your positive attitude. Give examples of how you incorporate these things in your life and work environment, how you have put forth extra effort in past experiences, and how you have beat deadlines.
What is a positive work attitude?
Practice. Most college campuses have placement counselors who can take you through a "mock" interview for practice. This is a good way to get constructive criticism and feedback that can help you improve your interviewing skills, style, and presentation. You need to practice answering interview questions live, verbally, out loud. If you can, videotape, so you can critique your ownself, too.
Entry-level positions. For these type of positions, there are
many job seekers who have the ability to do a wide variety of
jobs. Most employers "weed out people" at this level
by gaging work attitudes.

U.S. Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration
DALLAS, Oct. 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Department of Labor just announced September's unemployment numbers. According to a report by the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI), 141,030 of Americans currently unemployed can thank movie pirates for the lack of job opportunities and the inability to share $5.5 billion in earnings.
-- JOBS - Absent piracy, 141,030 new jobs would have been added to the U.S. economy. Of this total, 46, 597 jobs would have been created in the motion picture industry while 94,433 jobs would have been added in other industries.
-- EARNINGS - Movie piracy costs U.S. workers $5.5 billion annually in lost earnings. Of this amount, $1.9 billion would have been earned by workers in the motion picture industries while $3.6 billion would have been earned by workers in other U.S. industries.
These findings are published in the IPI report "The True Cost of Motion Picture Piracy to the U.S. Economy"-the first study to analyze the overall effect of the movie piracy upon the overall economy.
"One way lawmakers can help promote employment and help Americans increase their income is by allocating sufficient resources to protect intellectual property rights, particularly as they relate to piracy and counterfeiting," said Stephen E. Siwek, author of the IPI report and principal with Economists, Inc.
This analysis is the first in a series of intellectual property papers examining the overall economic impact of copyright piracy and patent infringement.
For report copies, visit http://www.ipi.org or contact Sonia Blumstein at 205.620.2087. The author is available for interview. IPI is an economic, public policy organization based in Texas.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao issued the following statement on the September employment situation released today:
"The news on the jobs front remains positive. The economy is growing fast enough to create new jobs, but not so fast that inflation is a big concern. Last month's payroll employment was revised upward by 60,000. Benchmark revision to March 2006 payroll employment was encouraging. This is a preliminary figure. The benchmark shows that the economy created 810,000 more jobs in the 12 months ending March 2006 than was originally thought."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) today issued the following remarks regarding the U.S. Department of Labor's report showing the unemployment rate dipping from 4.7 to 4.6 percent, and job growth holding steady during the month of September following three straight days of record-setting levels on Wall Street and a major decline of gas prices.
"American jobs grow while gas prices drop and the stock market hits all-time highs. September's lower unemployment rate, steady job growth and increased hourly earnings comes on the heels of a record-setting week on Wall Street. This proves that House Republicans' economic policies of tax relief continue to show strong results. The hard work of House Republicans -- who have remained committed to cutting spending and keeping taxes low for American families -- continues to fuel the economic fire. And the 51,000 jobs created in September represent that many more Americans who are working and providing a better life for their families.
"The Democrats would rather talk down the economy with the hopes of winning in November so they can raise taxes and skyrocket spending. Meanwhile, House Republicans will stand together to keep our record-setting economy soaring to new heights."
Note: Average hourly earnings increased $0.04, or 0.2 percent, to $16.84. That was up 4.0 percent from a year earlier.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6 /U.S/ Newswire/ -- The American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization with a long history of supporting labor rights, deplores the recent ruling by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) which will deny union protection to millions of American workers.
In its Oct. 3 decision in the Oakwood Healthcare Inc. case, the labor board allows employers to reclassify many workers as "supervisors," thus denying them the right to be represented by unions. More than eight million workers and over 200 occupations could be affected, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
"This ruling represents a serious effort to undermine economic security for American workers," said Joyce Miller, AFSC assistant general secretary for justice and human rights. "Fair wages and the right to form and join a union are keys to achieving that security."
AFSC is a cofounder of the "Let Justice Roll" Living Wage Campaign, a growing faith/labor/community coalition which will hold hundreds of rallies, religious services and prayer breakfasts in October to build support for raising the minimum wage.
In their dissent regarding the Oakwood case, two NLRB members warned: "Today's decision threatens to create a new class of workers under Federal labor law: workers who have neither the genuine prerogatives of management, nor the statutory rights of ordinary employees. In that category may fall most professionals (among many other workers) who by 2012 could number almost 34 million, accounting for 23.3 percent of the workforce."
The Service Committee has a long and rich history of supporting justice for coal miners, farm workers, maquila workers and others, dating to the 1920s. AFSC has also recently partnered with workers' organizations to promote just federal budget priorities and to oppose the privatization of Social Security.
According to Rick Wilson, director of the AFSC West Virginia Economic Justice Project, "The labor movement has been vital to the preservation and extension of democracy to millions of workers. Attacking the right to organize not only harms those who are poor, it strikes a blow at middle-class Americans in a time of growing inequality."
Wilson noted that union members generally enjoy higher wages (28.1 percent) and total compensation (43.7 percent) than non- union workers. They are more likely to be covered by health insurance and pensions and to have time off for paid vacations.
According to the AFL-CIO, under the Bush administration the NLRB has chipped away at workers' rights, limiting the eligibility of disabled workers, teaching assistants, temporary workers and others to join unions.
"One of the key concerns of the American Friends Service Committee is the need to promote human rights and dignity in the context of the global economy," noted Joyce Miller. "This can't be done in the United States or anywhere without a free labor movement."

New York, NY - (3/4/04) According to a recent workplace study, nationwide employee theft has increased by 40% from the year 2000 to 2004. Another recent study suggests that within the next 2 years, over two-thirds of all rental property owners in the United States will increase their renting fees by as much as 35% to help offset the unexpected costs resulting from various tenant violations - ranging from property damage to unpaid renting fees.
Research shows, though, that properly screened employees will reduce, and in many cases eliminate employee theft. Also, properly screened rental tenants will significantly reduce tenant violations.

Outline Places to Address Outsourcing - Part of Comprehensive
Plan for American Jobs
Kerry, Elected Officials and Labor Leaders Fan Out Across Country
for Nationwide Dialogue with America’s Workers
Toledo, OH – (2/25/04). Today, in
Ohio, Democratic candidate for President John Kerry and Leo Gerard,
President of the United Steelworkers of America, began the day
in Cleveland with workers at AKISG Steel and then traveled to
Toledo where Kerry delivered a speech on jobs and the economy
and received the endorsement of former Senator John Glenn.
In the speech, Kerry outlined his plan to address the outsourcing of American jobs. When Bush Council of Economic Advisors Chair N. Gregory Mankiw submitted the Administration’s economic report to Congress he called outsourcing "just a new way of doing international trade" and "probably a plus for the economy in the long run." John Kerry disagrees. He believes that the job of a President is to fight for American jobs. Kerry has a plan to address the trend of U.S. jobs going overseas and to create jobs in America.
“Under this Administration, America’s middle class has been abandoned – its dreams denied, its Main Street interests ignored and its mainstream values scorned by a White House that puts privilege first,” said John Kerry. “Middle class Americans don’t ask for special favors, they just want basic fairness, and a President who fights for that ideal.”
“Next November, we can change all that,” Kerry continued. “Because in a Kerry Administration, if you are doing your part and doing what’s right – whether you’re a CEO in the corner suite or a worker in an office or on the factory floor – you’ll have a President who honors you, respects your contribution, and who will fight for you and your future everyday.”
Manufacturing workers in Ohio have struggled to maintain their jobs and wages, losing 160,100 manufacturing jobs since George W. Bush took office. And under George W. Bush’s plan to cut overtime pay, another 351,795 workers in Ohio would see their pay cut even as they spend more time away from their families. With high unemployment and a declining manufacturing base, Ohio embodies the President’s failed economic policies.
While President Bush continues to send jobs overseas, today elected officials and labor leaders in the Super Tuesday states will continue to blitz the airwaves, visit job sites, hold rallies and roundtable meetings with workers to discuss John Kerry’s jobs plan.
Steelworkers’ President Leo Gerard, Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, Senators Ted Kennedy and Max Cleland, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Representatives Harold Ford Jr., Denise Majette, and John Larson are among the dozens of prominent supporters participating in the effort. Participants will also release state-by-state reports detailing the state of their state under George Bush’s presidency.
Kerry has also launched an Internet component of the jobs tour at www.johnkerry.com. By clicking on their state on the election map, voters can see first-hand how President Bush’s policies have affected workers in their state.

Part of a Real Plan to Create Real Jobs:
Reprinted from www.johnkerry.com
(2/25/04). NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe
today expressed his appreciation to the President for signing
into law a new act giving NASA greater flexibility to restructure
and revitalize its work force. President George W. Bush yesterday
signed the NASA Flexibility Act of 2004.
"I am very excited about this human capital legislation,"
said Administrator O'Keefe. "With fewer students entering
math and science studies, there's greater competition to attract
those graduates who do make science and technology a career. This
law now gives us additional tools to address the 21st century
challenges we face in recruiting and retaining the exceptional
talent required to carry out NASA's mission of exploration and
discovery."
NASA created a Human Capital Legislation Implementation Team in
August to begin work on the many tasks that must be accomplished
before using the new authorities provided in the act. The team
also is leading the change-management initiatives underway to
ensure effective communication with the entire NASA work force
regarding the human capital legislation.
Sponsored by U.S. Senator George Voinovich (R-Ohio) and U.S. Rep.
Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.), the bill builds on existing law. Among
other reforms, it provides the agency the ability to improve recruitment
and retention, and to compete with the private sector. The legislation
also establishes a Science and Technology Scholarship for Service
Program, which provides financial assistance to students in exchange
for a commitment to work for NASA.
"A quarter of our work force will be eligible to retire in
a few years. We have to take creative steps to get students interested
in these important fields and energize them about contributing
to America's technology future," added Administrator O'Keefe.
"I appreciate the bipartisan congressional support this measure
received and we look forward to working with the House, the Senate
and the Administration as we move forward during this important
time for the agency."
The General Accounting Office has continued to rank "strengthening
human capital" as one of NASA's top management challenges.
The agency's over-60 science and engineering work force outnumbers
its under-30 employees by nearly 3-to-1. The potential departure
of these individuals represents a dramatic loss of knowledge,
experience and leadership.
The bill adheres to existing merit principles, veterans' preference
and equal employment opportunity guidelines, as well as supports
the rights of labor organizations. NASA involved its unions, the
American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the International
Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), in
pursuing this important legislation. Last year, the IFPTE, NASA's
largest union, endorsed the measure.
Additional information about this NASA initiative is available
on the Internet at:

5-13-03. Many factors have indicated that the job market is less than ideal for many of this year's graduates. Landing a job will depend on flexibility and persistence. With the job market being tougher than usual and slow, many graduates are opting to continue on to graduate school.. A willingness to move and taking a less-than-ideal starting position helped some graduates land jobs in the workforce.
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the hiring of college graduates will be "stagnant."
New York, NY - (9/17/03).The National Black Public Relations Society (NBPRS) will convene its Fifth Annual National Conference and Career Fair in New York at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers on October 2-5, 2003. This year's theme, "Public Relations-Technology Driven, Diversity Focused," reflects the commitment of public relations professionals to recognize the sweeping transformation of the world and their commitment to educating the public to options in the new information arena. Workshops will include sessions on government contracting, entertainment media relations, advanced degrees and career development. The Career Fair will showcase job opportunities, internships, programs and services designed for attendees.
Also included will be the Founders' Award presentation to Michelle Flowers of Chicago-based Flowers Communications. Ms. Flowers will be recognized for her dedicated advocacy of diversity within the ranks of the public relations industry. This year's conference will be geared to growing the organization, according to incoming NBPRS president Meta Mereday.
"The membership goal is 400 paid professionals, 200 paid associates and 100 paid students," said Mereday, a long-time NBPRS board member from the New York-New Jersey area. "Our conference goal is 250 professional and associate registrations, which does not include student registrations," Mereday said.

Washington, DC - (9/2/03). In these uncertain economic times, more and more Americans are worried about pay cut and job loss. And the concern is not limited to the private sector workforce. Government workers are also just as worried about the shifting job market.
The National Coalition for Equity in Public Service (NCEPS) will hold a Diversity Summit October 16th 2003 in Washington D.C., to address these growing concerns. The summit will also address the government's practice of outsourcing jobs to the private sector, civil service reform and issues regarding worker pay and benefits.
NCEPS is a partnership of Blacks In Government (BIG), Federally Employed Women (FEW), Federal Asian Pacific American Council (FAPAC), and National IMAGE. NCEPS was organized in 1994 to address the needs and concerns of minorities and women in the public workforce.
Although NCEPS meets on a regular basis to coordinate their effort on those issues which they believe impact upon their members and constituents, a special meeting was held during the Blacks In Government 25th Annual National Training Conference. The meeting was to plan the Diversity Summit that will be held on October 16, 2003 in Washington, DC.
NCEPS will meet again on September 12 at the Office of Personnel Management in Washington, DC. The meeting will follow OPM's program introducing its SES Cadre program.
For further information about the NCEPS Diversity Summit, contact: Mr. Julius Crouch at (314) 438-9640.

PASADENA, Calif., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- In addition to providing
streamlined access to jobs found only on employer websites,
Hound.com has officially opened its public online forum for users to
discuss companies and their jobs.
"Access to unbiased information about companies and their jobs is
crucial to any good job search. We're not trying to censor anything
here," said Hound.com CEO A. Harrison Barnes. "Our forum gives users
the opportunity to share their loudest opinions and discuss what is
really happening in today's job-search community."
Hound.com, which has been changing the way people search for jobs
since March, is notorious for not accepting or doing any
advertising. The site aims to be the "purest" job board in the world
by putting the job seeker's interests first.
"This is just another reason why Hound is not advertising right
now," said Barnes. "We want to level the playing field. Our job
seekers need to recognize that we're not influenced by anyone but
them."
On Hound.com's forum, users can post questions, answers, and
comments about specific companies and their jobs. This will help the
job seeker get a leg up on the competition and jumpstart his or her
career search. Discussions regarding topics such as resumes, job
locations, and salaries can educate users on their industries and
help them establish connections with their industry colleagues and
affiliates.
"Part of putting the job seeker first is giving him or her a voice
and a place to share information. And that's what we're doing with
this forum," said Barnes.
About Hound.com:
Hound.com is a Juriscape company. Juriscape was founded in January
2000 and has been helping job seekers find employment for more than
seven years. Today, Juriscape has grown into an international,
multimillion-dollar affiliation of more than 15 profitable companies
