Looking for a job?

There are 100s of employers with jobs that are open and ready for hire.  Create a profile on jobs.utah.gov.

When job seekers build their profile, we recommend it is as accurate and up to date as possible – to include their resume and at least 80% of their profile completed (social media accounts for 20% and some do not have these accounts).

This profile generates a number of activities inside the system; job referrals, job matches, and can lead to direct employer engagement (Utah Patriot Partnership).

United States Senate

“By its rules the Senate wisely fixes the limits to its own power,” noted Vice President Adlai Stevenson. “In this Chamber alone are preserved, without restraint, two essentials of wise legislation and of good government—the right of amendment and of debate.” The Constitution grants unique powers to the Senate, allowing it to serve as the more deliberative legislative body and as a check on the executive and judicial branches by providing advice and consent on nominations and treaties.
