The Government Job Search Process
Learning how to effectively navigate the government job search and find success!

The U.S. government is one of the largest employers in the world employing close to 3 million people and hiring thousands each year. You can work for the government in almost every occupation imaginable from accountant to astronaut, clerical worker to criminal investigator, management analyst to medical doctor. These are just a few of the jobs available with the federal government that can be both challenging and rewarding as you serve both the public and your country.

The government job search is similar to a private or non-profit sector job search when it comes to looking for positions. The difference appears when it comes to applying for positions in the government. Federal Resumes, KSAs, ECQs and other materials are used to apply for government jobs.

Inspiration for You

"Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have and should have."

- Louis Boone

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

- Author Unknown

The man who reaches the top is the one who is not content with doing just what is required of him. He does more. Every man should make up his mind that if he expects to succeed, he must give the honest return for the other man's dollar.

- Harriman
