FEMA searching for contracting expertise

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is having a job fair to fill 50 positions, 41 of which are for their Procurement Division. This Homeland Security agency is seeking to get up to a 95 percent hiring level, but has fallen short in the past.

Their procurement division has had its challenges. They hired a contractor to help in the short term right after Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, had to justify themselves before Congress, and were even impersonated by thieves.

They have a dynamic leader in Deidre Lee and are trying to get themselves together. Now, it seems, if you need a change, this might be a great time to move to FEMA.
