How to...

Subscribe to the site
Go to www.workforcongress.com/subscribe.  We use Paypal to process our subscriptions because it's a recognized, trusted brand that provides a high level of security and privacy.  If you are having trouble with the subscription process, we've created a detailed, step-by-step guide.

Post a job listing
We do not charge any organizations to post job listings (to avoid legal issues with in-kind contributions).  If your organization wants to use WorkforCongress.com to recruit talented people, start emailing your job listings to jobs@workforcongress.com.  More info is available here.  


Frequently Asked Questions

How does the site work? 
We collect jobs from private lists, public sources, government web sites, and from submissions directly to our site, put it all together, and charge a low subscription fee. 

Why should I pay to use workforcongress.com? 
You could spend most of your time wading through the internet looking for job listings, or you can spend most of your time actually applying to jobs, and leave collecting the job posts to us. 

Why do you charge for your site? 
Because it's worth it! If you don't think so, we'll give you your $5 back within a week of your subscription date.  We also need to keep the site ad-free, cover our operating costs, and reduce the chance of resume spamming.  We decided on $5/mo to accomplish these goals and still keep the site affordable enough so a 1 month subscription would cost the same as a cup of coffee at many national coffee chains.

Why is it free for companies to list jobs?
Congressional ethics rules can be found in a manual that is 456 pages long.  Rules surrounding the conduct of other political organizations like PACs, campaigns, and lobbying firms are even more complicated.  Among the most complicated provisions are those surrounding "in-kind" contributions, meaning that if an organization receives anything for free that is ruled to "have value," then the parties involved must report it as a contribution.  We are not interested in wading into this murkiness, so it's free for all organizations to post jobs.

What is your privacy policy? 

Are you a scam?  I heard that you're not supposed to charge to apply for government jobs?
We are not a scam.  We do not charge people to apply for government jobs, and we have competitors who use the same business model as we do.  We aggregate job listings from more than a dozen sites and listservs, and accept job postings from employers, and we provide all of them for one low $5 monthly fee, no other fees, cancel whenever.  That way, job seekers can spend most of their time applying for jobs, instead of wading through the internet trying to find job listings.  If you still have your doubts, give us a try.  We think you'll find that we outperform our competitors, and we think you'll find the convenience and features well worth it.

How many months do I have to subscribe and how do I cancel? 
No minimum number of months!  You can subscribe, pay $5, and cancel after 1 month.  To cancel, just send an email to contact@workforcongress.com.
