Federal Jobs

Q: Where can I find more information about federal employment opportunities, including a list of specific job openings, educational requirements, and application materials?

Please visit the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's website for information on applying for federal employment and a complete, up-to-date listing of federal employment opportunities. Senator Lieberman's office does not maintain a listing of employment opportunities with the federal government or private sector employers.

Q: I am currently laid off and am interested in changing careers. Where can I find training programs to help me expand my skill set so I’m eligible for other employment opportunities?

The U.S. Department of Labor has launched a brand new website which matches your skills to new career opportunities while giving you information on the training necessary for the job transition. MySkillsMyFuture also lists training programs in your area and job postings.

Q: Where can I find information on Connecticut jobs in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields?

CT STEM Jobs--Connecticut's science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) Career Center--offers STEM-related educational, training and career resources for individuals looking for job placement in those fields.  You may visit www.ctstemjobs.org for more information on this program, including online sources, career exploration resources, mentoring and educational tools.

Q: I am applying for a job and need a letter of recommendation for use with my application package. Does Senator Lieberman write letters of recommendation?

Senator Lieberman has a longstanding policy of only writing letters of recommendation for individuals with whom he has a longstanding personal or professional relationship. In addition, Senator Lieberman is unable to write letters of recommendation for any federal civil service position due to provisions of the Hatch Act which prohibit undue political influence in the federal hiring process.
