More than 300 federal IT jobs up for grabs

President-elect Barack Obama proposed a major IT agenda during his campaign, and this will require many new skilled federal hires, as well as new technology projects and investments. The Plum Book, which lists presidential appointments within the federal government, includes more than 300 technology positions. Topping the list are 21 chief information officers, four chief technology officer positions and four positions dealing with information security.

The Defense Department listed the most available technology jobs, with nearly 50 openings. Down the road, federal job prospects for IT professionals may be even greater as a large number of Baby Boomer federal workers reach retirement age and leave the government.
