United States President-elect Barack Obama [Images] is inviting online applications from across the world to fill various positions in the new regime, reaffirming his tech-savvy nature.

Obama, along with his deputy Joe Biden, is looking for people for 'non-career positions' in the White House or any Federal body.

US still caught in Obama fever

"Applicants for any of these non-career positions -- whether in the White House or in any Federal Department Agency or Commission -- should use this website, as applying online is the fastest and most accurate way to get your information to us," reads a notification on the official website of the President-elect.

The call for applicants online is another affirmation of the 'tech-savvy' Obama, who has exploited electronic and new media like never before during his Presidential campaign.

Obamania sweeps the world

The website 'www.change.gov', of the Office of the President-elect says Obama would make appointments throughout the federal government.

The site asserts that there would not be any discrimination in the selection process. "The Obama-Biden Transition Project does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other basis of discrimination prohibited by law," it points out.

The Man Who Wasn't There

Once you make your application for a position now, there is no need to apply again after January 20, 2008 -- the day when Obama would assume the office of the President of America.

"Applications submitted now to the Obama-Biden Transition Project will be retained and considered by the Office of
Presidential Personnel after President-Elect Obama takes office," the notification added.

The applicant has to first submit an 'Online Expression of Interest Form' and within a few days, the individual would receive an "e-mail with a link to a more complete online applications".

The final selection is subjected to reviews, including background checks by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"Some positions will require Senate confirmation while others will not. Some appointments will be made during the transition process and others during the early part of the new administration," the site notes.
