While government jobs aren't exactly the highest paying in the nation, IT positions do rate in a special pay category (see tables 999A-F depending on where you want to work). The online job fair lasts from April 22 to 26, and hopes to fill 230 positions. Here's a quick list of IT Series 2210 specialties, or if you want a little light reading, try the 155 page, 1.7 MB detailed spec."

Try to apply. The instructions read "When you are ready to begin, click here to start your On-line Application and enter Vacancy Identification Number WA139180 and press the SUBMIT button. Then follow the instructions in the On-line Application."
Now, having to copy a number from the page into their own form is dumb enough. But worse, the number is rejected with "This vacancy is not currently open." Bozos.
