Federal Employment Resources
The U.S. Federal Government is hiring and the benefits to a career in Civil Service are many, including competitive salaries, training and professional development, competitive health and retirement benefits, opportunities for advancement, the chance to make a difference, and possible student loan repayment assistance. Opportunities are available all over the country and around the world (only 16% of all government jobs are located in Washington DC), and candidates are sought from all programs of study. The application process can be lengthy and somewhat tedious, so we have created a list of resources to help you along.
