MEMORANDUM

To:  		All USGS Employees

From:  	Robert Hosenfeld
  		Personnel Officer

Subject: 	Acceptance of Employment Applications Via E-mail and Fax

We are pleased to announce that the Western Region Personnel Branch is
accepting employment applications over fax and through e-mail as part of a
pilot program within the USGS.

Applications will be accepted at fax number (650) 329-4098 or at our e-mail
address at   job_apps@omega7.wr.usgs.gov.  To be considered timely,
applications you transmit must be electronically postmarked before 12:00
midnight on the closing date specified in the
announcement.  Applications received after this date will be considered late.

Since this pilot is intended to result in a quicker, easier system to apply
for vacancies, we encourage employees to streamline their application
materials.  We are limiting electronic application packages to ten (10)
pages.  Application packages of more than 10 pages must be
sent through the United Postal Service or other mail service.

This pilot is only being conducted in the Western Region of the USGS. Other
USGS Personnel Offices will not accept fax or e-mail applications.  A
Western Region Specialist will be glad to answer any questions that you may
have about this program.
