Secure a Government Job
Expert Advice to Navigate Government Positions

In these turbulent times, when private corporations are in trouble, the employer that seems to be offering the most stable employment opportunities is the public sector. From county municipalities to state and federal agencies, the government has become the place to be for jobs. But unlike the private sector, the government application process can be difficult to navigate successfully.

With The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Getting Government Jobs, the path to these prime positions becomes clear. Unlike other books about government positions, this book covers all levels of government employment. The Partnership for Public Service will show you how to:

• Search effectively for the appropriate government job site
• Clarify the various job classifications and levels of government employment
• Construct a resume suited to the requirements of the hiring agency
• Complete the appropriate application most effectively

• Arrange for any additional materials required by the hiring agency
• Market yourself effectively in the government job market
• Make the most of current government job trends
• Apply inside tips to make the application and search process a success

With the infusion of funds designed to expand job opportunities in the public section, The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Getting Government Jobs is the best guide to take advantage of this new employment frontier.
