Hinojosa's Team Launches Portal for State Job Seekers

Texans seeking employment in the upcoming state government can now submit their resumes directly to the incoming administration. The transition team for Governor-Elect Gina Hinojosa launched a new website this weekend to facilitate the hiring process. The portal requires applicants to provide their resumes, cover letters, and personal information.

Hinojosa stated that the transition represents a statewide effort to build a new government. "This is a transition for the whole state of Texas, and as such, we will have many opportunities for people to weigh in with their ideas, send in their resumes, and apply to join the administration we’re building," she said. She noted that Texas possesses a diverse talent pool and expects high interest from qualified professionals.

The team describes its effort, titled "By and For the People," as bipartisan. Hon. Ernest Bailes and Ryan Pollock serve as co-chairs of the initiative. Joe Madden acts as the executive director, while Talama Barksdale serves as a senior advisor.

Madden indicated the primary goal is to ensure the new administration is prepared to implement Hinojosa’s campaign priorities immediately upon taking office. The team is actively encouraging applicants from various professional backgrounds and experience levels to apply. They emphasized that a range of skills is needed to serve in state government.

Applications are currently being accepted and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The website will also function as a public hub for tracking the transition team's progress. It will provide updates on the incoming administration's preparations for Texans who wish to stay informed about the changes ahead.
