Wanted: Feds ‘committed to improving efficiency'

The National Park Service is seeking a fire protection engineer to work in its Philadelphia office. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, willing to work overtime and should be 'passionate about the ideals of our American republic,' the job listing says. The Trump administration has added new language about federal efficiency and American ideals to every job opening posted on the federal hiring website USAJOBS, the Office of Personnel Management announced Friday. It's part of the administration's broader 'merit hiring plan' that the administration says will streamline and improve the federal hiring process.
