Making 3-5 years Private Sector Experience in the area of the employment position a Federal Hiring Guideline Requirement will go a long way toward changing the quality of Public-Private interface as well as improving the bureaucratic culture.....IMHO
So, McDs would count, as long as it was a job in a gummint cafeteria? I like it.
Please, the news media next. So tired of these 20-something bloggers showing up on cable news as pundits or experts of some kind when the only job they’ve had is tantamount to posting on FR.
the federal government won’t be doing much hiring after Jan 20th.
LOL
Not a bad idea!
Another thing Congress needs to do is look at some of its “mandates” to the bureaucracies. I will generalize this to keep it short. Often Congress will dictate that an agency/office/bureau whatever will keep “track of something” usually its some form of performance metric. Nine times out of ten is one that looks good or sounds good to the constituents back home but is meaningless in practice. Where its truly wasteful and mind numbing to the person doing it is require that a full time GS’er be assigned to it. Too often its something that can take anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours to do. Either the agency that this is forced on is either too cowardly to point it out or simply doesn’t want to lose the slot. It’s usually bureaucratic cowardice is the reason its not done.
Good idea for congress but where are you going to find people with 3-5 years experience killing people for the Army?
There should be a rule like the proposed Trump admin regulations rule...for every one hired (at least) two must be let go.
How about 30 years? Hire no one under 50. They’ll collect a SMALL retirement check.
it will also raise entry wages
I doubt a government employee can change a light bulb or boil water.
Perhaps for some gov jobs, but this isn’t practical for all of them...Military being the obvious example — you aren’t even going to get young officers (28 at the absolute oldest per regs, and obviously most are going to be early 20’s), never mind enlisted people, with 3-5 years of experience.
5:1
Not accepting anyone who has recent experience (4-6 years) with any non-profit with an ideological position that would shape the federal government. For example, no one with an environmental non-profit gets to work with the EPA or Bureau of Land Management for half a decade.
So the Marine Corps is going to only recruit ex mercenaries? This sounds like one of those ideas that only makes sense if you don’t know what it is that government does.
The implied context was the civilian GS scale. Of course, there are a few other civilian government scales thus could apply to.
I had over 25 years private sector experience and two agencies fought For me.
I’ll up you 5... 10-1
Sold!
LOL. Have a GREAT Thanksgiving! MAGA!
I was an HR manager for many years in a manufacturing company. We would very seldom hire people with a government background. And the few times we decided to make exceptions, we usually regretted it. They just don’t have the same sense of urgency and commitment.
It’s extremely difficult to even get into the system without prior military service, being a military spouse with preference rights, or having a disability.
Just leveling he playing field for all applicants would help a lot.
