Hello Mr. Jackson,
I saw this message posted (below) on the IOINTERN listserv from the University of Baltimore for the Personnel Psychologist position.
I wanted to ask a question, which I believe I already know the answer to.
I'm a U.S. citizen, living in Germany with my family (with no intention to move back to the U.S. anytime soon). There is the possibility that we would move back to the DC area when the kids are finished with the equivalent of high school in several years.
The question is: Would it be possible to work in this position from a distance? I am guessing it would not be possible, but thought I would double-check. I don't know what kind of flexibility is currently being allowed in the Federal government.
I have one years experience as a GS-13 and roughly 9 years experience doing other I-O types of work, much of this relevant to the position announcement (e.g, competency development, employee engagement, survey development, workforce planning, job analysis,
test development, training research and development). I have a Master's in I-O from University of Baltimore.
Mostly, I've worked as a consultant outside of government on government contracts. Former employers were HumRRO and ICF International. I'm also a long-time member of The Personnel Testing Council of Metropolitan Washington.
Full disclosure: In my one year with the government, I was let go a week before the end of my one-year probationary period. I have been out of the workforce for several years (primarily as a stay-at-home dad), so that would also could be a limiting issue.
In any case, I hope you find a suitable candidate for your position. If I know of anybody that looks like a good fit for the position, I will certainly pass this announcemnet along.
Sincerely,
Art Paddock
