Getting a Federal Job

October 20, 2011

Federal jobs offer competitive salaries, paid vacation, incredible benefits, and most of all, security. Something you don't find easily these days.

With more than 1.7 million jobs and over 400 occupational specialties, the Federal Government offers more choices than any other single employer in the United States.

One place to look for these jobs is the official U.S. government jobs site, USAjobs.gov <http://www.99ers.net/goto/USAjobs_gov/102/1> . <http://www.99ers.net/goto/_/102/2> It’s got an easy-to-use search feature where you can enter your zip code and a search radius. Plus, there are links to lots of additional resources. However, you will also find Federal job opportunities on some agency websites so don't rely solely on one job board or posting. 

The free government publication, "How to Get a Job in the Federal Government" gives you a step-by-step overview and useful information on searching, qualifying, and applying for a job with the federal government. The Federal Application process is very different than the corporate process that you may be used to.
