Users frustrated with the new, overwhelmed USAJobs 3.0

Federal jobseekers are complaining that the new version of the USAJobs.gov website is slow and clunky. The Office of Personnel Management had promised that it would be more streamlined and easier to use than the previous version. It is asking agencies that use the site to recruit to extend their application deadlines while it works out the kinks.

    OPM also promised that Retire EZ would be so wonderful, and that site never worked.

    A little irony... How do you benefit from "open code" that doesn't work? Is building industrial strength "e-commerce" websites a core competency of OPM? Is it even "inherently governmental?" I would never trust my HR person to do ANYTHING with technology but the federal government trusted it's HR organization with its life-blood!!! USAJOBS is the engine that helps to sustain the intellectual brain-trust of the federal government and its not working for job hunters nor the agencies and departments who are trying to advertise jobs. That's right.... applicants can't apply and agencies can't announce! Is anybody listening? This is a crisis!

    We expected this?

    Really? Then why in the WORLD would you release a system that you EXPECTED problems from? Are your IT guys asleep at the wheel? Even basic things like resetting a password are broken. I can understand some minor glitches with new software, but an entire system that doesn't function, yet is deployed anyway...to the entire world? This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. OPM really blew it with this one. Restore the old version until you fix this one. It isn't helping anyone in it's current form. And....just in case you missed the meeting..PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE/RELY ON USAJobs!
