From Alum Elizabeth Ferguson:
“Hello all,
Some of you might be interested in this digital experiences position at the Library of Congress.
One note: It’s promising that they got permission to post and hire for this with everything going on that’s negatively impacting federal employees. I encourage anyone who’s qualified to apply. Later, if you do in fact end up hearing from the hiring manager, you can ask more questions about the state of hiring.
If you have any questions you think I can answer, you can message me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizajeane8/
