USPTO To Host Job Fair December 9th and 10th

By just_n_examiner

ADVERTISEMENTS

The PTO distributed an email to the examining corps today, with details of an upcoming job fair. Sounds like the hiring of new examiners is about to begin in earnest.

---

All USPTO employees are urged to spread the word to individuals interested in entry-level patent examiner positions with room to grow (GS-7 through GS-9) and who have studied or practiced in varied engineering disciplines such as mechanical, computer, chemical, electrical, biomedical, civil and industrial, as well as pharmacology, chemistry, computer science, physics and textile technology positions. All vacant positions have non-competitive promotion potential to GS-13 and are open to all U.S. citizens or nationals.

Tell them that as a patent examiner with the USPTO, they will...

Be working with the largest intellectual property rights entity in the nation
Be supporting economic growth and positioning America as one of the world's top innovators
Gain experience, training and mentorship they won't get anywhere else
Conduct research and interact with applicants who are working on inventive, modern breakthroughs
Have access to alternative, flexible schedules, telework when eligible and highly competitive salary and benefits packages

The two-day job fair will include information sessions and is scheduled for Friday, December 9, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday, December 10, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Both sessions will take place on the USPTO's Alexandria campus in the auditorium of the Madison Building.

To register for the fair and schedule an interview, direct your friends and family to the USPTO Careers website.

Also be on the lookout for a future notice about vacancy announcements for these positions. The announcements are scheduled for release on or around December 5.
