USAJobs problems prompt application deadline extension
October 19th, 2011 | Office of Personnel Management | Posted by Stephen Losey
Having trouble getting through to the latest iteration of USAJobs.gov? You’ll probably have three more weeks to apply for your desired job. The Office of Personnel Management today said it has asked agencies’ chief human capital officers to extend most job application deadlines for three weeks because of the new site’s problems.
Hundreds of users are complaining on the USAJobs Facebook page (not to mention our own blog) about the login and search problems they’re having with USAJobs 3.0.
OPM Director John Berry said it may not be possible to extend some vacancies, such as those for national security positions or emergency jobs. But most jobs will be extended, he said.
Berry also said about 6 percent of users are having problems with USAJobs, and advised anyone having trouble getting in to hit F5, or “refresh” on their browser.
“We’re thrilled that so many Americans are interested and enthusiastic about public service, and we’re gonna keep working until we get this right,” Berry said.

October 21st, 2011 at 9:36 amI’ve noticed that USAJobs 3.0 works well and displays well with Internet Explorer, but if you are using another browser, you have to either play around the inconsistencies or go to an entirely different computer that runs off of Microsoft. Personally, I would rather use Firefox while others may need to use Safari or even Google Chromium. It kind of stinks when you have only one operating system on your computer and have to pack up, go to a library or another public computer just to use the web site.
