Dear Washingtonians,
I want to thank all the people who came out to our "Spring Into a New Career" hiring event at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library earlier this week. Our teams had the opportunity to talk with more than 2,000 people about hundreds of career opportunities in DC Government.
No matter what you are passionate about, there is a role for you in DC Government. We are a diverse team of people who love DC, and DC Government is a place where you can make a great salary, with great benefits, and grow professionally while doing meaningful work.
