The government is hiring (with a surge in employment of workers in their 20's), and these jobs hold important future potential as 44% of the civil service looks set to retire in the next five years.
USAJobs.gov offers a very easy setup to find and land these government jobs. The website offers an easy-to-use search feature, detailed job descriptions and qualifications, and resources for application. Additionally, you can post your resume to USAJobs.gov, and it will show up in government agencies' search results - offering another way for employers to find you. There are many openings, and application deadlines close all the time, so be punctual and get those applications in.
