Officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the government's Millennium Challenge Corp. were recruiting at a job fair last week at the Ronald Reagan Building, USAID's headquarters. USAID plans to double, to 2,200, its ranks of foreign service officers by 2012; it plans to hire more than 300 people this year.
