Three U.S. agenices on AARP National Employer Team

The AARP National Employer Team is made up of employers who recognize that older workers make up a very important part of the workforce. They want to hire older workers because they know that we bring leadership, experience, and skills to do the job. Three U.S. government agencies have recently joined the team. All state that they have seasonal and temporary positions.

• The Internal Reveue Service: PT/Seasonal positions- Clerks, Data transcribers, Contact representatives, Tax examiners.
  
• The Peace Corps: Domestic and overseas positions.
  
• The Small Business Administration, Office of Disaster Assistance (ODA): Provides affordable, timely and accessible financial assistance for the repair and rebuilding of non-farm, private sector disaster losses. Hires when disaster strikes.

An RV friend has gone through the process of being hired for temporary work for the ODA. She did say it took months to get her application in correctly and processed. She is finally eligible and waiting for her first call.

The federal government offers some nice benefits to seasonal and some temporary workers. Check out the AARP program and specifically the U.S. government agencies. Jaimie Hall-Bruzenak
