    @sresslerYes definetly. They should be announcing the winner in a couple of weeks actually. I just mentioned it to my colleague, who has been running the contest, and she’d love to post a blog.

    @jpfromjpHi Joseph,
    Here are some resources on video contests you may want to check out:

    Jeremy Ames replied to the topic How effective is the federal government at recruiting state and local employees? in the forum Miscellaneous 11 years, 8 months ago

    Thanks for the feedback! I was one of the finalist for FedPitch 2009. The idea I pitched was to allow federal agencies to open up some of their internal positions to state/local employees, and let those new hires count their years in state/local government as time in service for federal benefits. My pitch won, so we’ll see where the idea goes from here.

    Jeremy Ames started the topic How effective is the federal government at recruiting state and local employees? in the forum Miscellaneous 11 years, 8 months ago

    I’m interested in hearing from any current or former local and state employees who have considered applying for federal positions, or any current federal employees who started out in state/local government. Do you feel the federal government does an effective job of recruiting state and local employees? Are their disincentives to making the switch…[Read more]

    Jeremy Ames replied to the topic Anyone Ever Deal with Radon Tests/Abatement in their Own Homes? in the forum Miscellaneous 11 years, 9 months ago

    Hi Alice. I work for the EPA’s radon program. Radon is indeed the second leading cause of lung cancer at 20,000 deaths a year. But it is easy to test for and relatively inexpensive to get your how fixed if you have high levels. You can get a do-it-yourself kit at a local hardware store or by calling 1-800-SOS-RADON. Or you can hire a testing…[Read more]

    Jeremy Ames replied to the topic What’s Your Take on Gov20 Barcamp? in the forum Miscellaneous 11 years, 9 months ago

    Went to some great sessions went to some not so good sessions. But I agree, the best part was meeting and sharing ideas with the attendees. I left feeling tired but strangely reenergized.

    Jeremy Ames replied to the topic Best Books? in the forum Leadership, Management, Supervision 12 years, 3 months ago

    Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point explores how “social epidemics” get started and spread (from fashion trends to teen smoking). Why some messages are so “sticky” and others fall flat. While reading the book I started considering how the concepts might apply to my job, working for EPA’s radon program, and I had the idea to do an online video…[Read more]

    Jeremy Ames started the topic Using GovLoop to promote Mentoring? in the forum Leadership, Management, Supervision 12 years, 3 months ago

    Lots of useful advice in the YGL group on mentoring. Here’s a topic for discussion, how could we use GovLoop to pair potential mentors with mentees?

    Could this best be done through existing features like the forums, profiles, and groups, or a whole new tool?

    What types of mentoring are Govloopers most interested in? General career advice, topic…[Read more]

    Hi Bruce,

    Welcome to the Maxwell GovLoop group. Great idea for a discussion topic. I graduated from Maxwell in 2004 with an MPA, where I also worked for the Environmental Finance Center. After Maxwell I found a position through the Presidential Management Fellows program in EPA’s Indoor Environments Division. Since there I’ve done everything from…[Read more]
