List about getting a proud job and interview tips for your next endeavor
1. Intro to Employment Differences vs. Private Sector
Choosing a government career can be a wise choice in building your employment future. There are many benefits such as strong job security, great employee benefits and a sense of pride in your work. Many people don't even know that government jobs often pay a higher salary than positions in the private sector and there are many openings needed to be filled in your state or city.
A rewarding public sector career can be in teaching. There are never enough good teachers and you may be surprised to find out that your skill or knowledge can be put to use earning great benefits in the public sector. Other examples of good paying government jobs are in public transportation, the dmv, post office, social work, public health and safety, local parks, logistics, traffic and city planning and many more. The list is pretty extensive for great salaries working for the government. One might also be surprised to find out that their private sector job skills are in demand by the public sector.
Searching the proper job site for government employment opportunities is important. There are the major career portals that most people know about and some smaller employment opportunity lists to look through. If you want to get in contact with a job recruiter directly to apply for a government career that is another way to get in the door. Go to your local state or city .org site and you can likely find the proper contact information of an employment specialist who can help guide you to see if a government career is the right decision for you.

4. Interview Dos and Don'ts
The first important tip for your interview is dress like you want the job. First impressions are important and a suit goes a long way. For men,i f you don't have a suit, a sweater and buttondown shirt will work nicely as well. For women, a sweater or blouse and slacks or a business suit works well for a government interview. Don't talk too much and listen as they are interviewing you, not the other way around. Be enthusiastic as well and don't brag about your other job offers.
List of tips for government interviews:
1. Dress nicely
2. Don't use the cell phone in the waiting room.
3. Don't look around the interview office too much.

5. Intro to Government Employment Links
Working with a government employment or career recruiter may be one way to fast track your resume and application. Like mentioned on the front page, I recommend looking at sites such as www.ca.gov or whatever your local state website address may be. As you probably know, this can be found by searching on the internet and then looking through the employment or contact section.
Most importantly when speaking with a recruiter, tell him or her what type(s) of career fields within the government realm you are interested in. When you find a career that pleases you or piques your interest, the money is secondary. This will give you the motivation to keep going and get promoted in your government profession.
Whether it is transportation, city planning, health safety or some other field in the public sector it is improtant to also communicate with a recruiter. Aside from your interested career field, explain to the government recruiter about your skills and talents that will help make a good career match.
