Washington, Jan 22, 2008 -

House Conference Secretary John Carter (TX-31) today launched a Republican Jobs Bank through his Conference Website to help staff and members identify more applicants when filling vacant positions. 

“I ran for Republican Conference Secretary with the promise that I would be fully available to assist my colleagues and their staffs with anything they might need.  I, along with Chairman Putnam and the Conference staff, have not backed away from that promise.” Representative Carter said.  “This job bank is an easy one-stop-shop for those members looking to post job openings as well as staffers who are looking for new jobs.”

In addition to the new job bank, Carter has coordinated with Conference Chairman Putnam to help fill the need for personal member assistance.

“If a member of staff is ever confronted with an irresolvable issue or needs assistance, I invite them to bring that issue to me or my staff so that we may help them get the results they are looking for,” Carter continued. 

The Republican Jobs Bank website is updated several times weekly and can be accessed at http://www.gop.gov/web/guest/gopjobs/ or by going to gop.gov and clicking under helpful resources.  If members have openings for staff, they can visit the site for information on how to submit announcements.
