Why You Should Work for Obama

I got my Obama job application form in the (e)mail today. And I wanted to encourage everyone else to get theirs by filling out this simple form. (In a few days they'll email you a longer form, with spaces for more jobs and a choice of which agencies you're interested in, but that's also pretty easy.)

During the Bush2 administration, conservatives raised at the right-wing think tanks around DC moved in to staff the agencies, filling them with an ideological crew that tried to push their agenda at every level. As conservative organizations told their members, you can do more than just pressuring the government from outside, you can start pushing the government from inside as well.

Obviously having people outside the government pushing back is crucial, but it would also be nice to see those right-wing hacks replaced with a talented lefty team. So consider filling out an Obama application. Although do be warned -- as the site says, "some positions will require Senate confirmation."

What type of jobs will they have? (0.00 / 0)
I'm leaving my job soon but I don't know if I'd be qualified for anything.  My only political experience is volunteering on the campaign.

As Aaron says, jobs can be in many departments (0.00 / 0)
I've looked at jobs the Bushies staffed with Blackwater-type contractors, for example, and those jobs ranged from clerical to professional. I'm sure there will be positions to fill in all departments of the government.

I already filled out my long form application.

How long did it take? (0.00 / 0)
I'll be coming home from Taiwan in December, so I've put my name in for a job.  But it's been about three days, and I haven't gotten the application email.  I got the original confirmation email that said for me to wait a couple of days, but nothing else.  

I'm just curious how many days it took before you got your application email.
