This search uses the Work Family / Work Stream fields…

All too often, a position’s title gives no hint of the kind of work that is actually performed by the position. The Work Family / Work Stream fields are designed to allows users to search for positions performing the same kind of work, regardless of what we call them or how we rank them! Work Family / Work Stream

These fields are populated by a work hierarchy that describes what the position contributes to government or to the taxpayer. They provide labels that reflect the results of the work performed by the position, and they express that work as a product or service.

The Work Family and Stream labels are designed to be reasonably intuitive. Continued use of them over time make them even easier to use. Select a work family… then a work stream Selecting a work family… …triggers a scrolling list of associated work streams.

Execute the search… Searches are executed by clicking the Submit button.
