Federal Jobs Website Nearly Shuts Down Due To Heavy Traffic
The new federal jobs web site nearly ground to a halt from heavy traffic. The Office of Personnel Management launched the new version of USA Jobs with much fanfare last week, and some 2.5 million visitors a day have logged in. But many of them complain the site is slow and clunky. OPM posted an apology on the home page. A spokeswoman told Federal News Radio a team is working around the clock to tune the system. Adding to the confusion is that the new site requires new passwords, even for people with accounts at the old USA Jobs site.

No one should expect that system to handle millions of log ins.This type of agency also relies heavily on human intervention.Desperate people are typically impatient & not willing to work with the system.The really aggressive ones are automatically rejected.Hence the difference between displaying an interest in employment,which is politically correct,and raising hell when everything does'nt go exactly the way one wants it too.
