This seems like a contractor position with SEC instead of a Federal position since the email address does not have a .gov domain.

Gynecologists ask for your period history including how heavy it is. It’s helpful for them to know when you plan on starting or switch birth control methods. They always ask for the last date/length of your period. I’m lucky if I remembered what I had for lunch much less when I last needed a tampon.

I am excited to hear USDS is piloting a project with DOI! I hope it's a success and fellow agencies see the benefits of changing the current hiring system. USAJOBS/the federal hiring system is so broken!

The Heritage link is in reference to the Office of Inspector General. The Office of Inspector General is independent of the Agency it oversees with a budget that Congress appropriates separately and it’s leadership is independent. Inspector Generals are political appointments and most are senate confirmed positions. Unlike most political appointments, the Inspector Generals stay on throughout Administrations and are only asked to leave if there are performance issues. The mission of the Office of Inspector General is to root out fraud, waste, and abuse. Office of Inspector Generals or OIGs perform financial audits, performance audits (program evaluations), inspections, and criminal investigations. Generally most reports are publicly available and posted on each OIGs website. OIGs are referenced in the media as the “internal watchdog.” Congress can request (and frequently does) OIGs to perform audits, evaluations, or inspections for oversight purposes. Each OIG has an anonymous hotline where employees, contractors, or the general public can report fraud, waste, and abuse. There are 73 OIGs in the Federal government with CIA being the first established by Congress. https://www.ignet.gov/
