Description
Working For the Government Working for a local government For the most part, working for a City, County, water district, etc. is just like working for any private-sector employer. You apply with a resume, you interview, and you get the job. The public sector has a few more steps that you normally do not see in the private sector. This article will highlight and briefly describe those steps and then touch on what happens after you are hired. • Job Announcement: • Recruitment and Selection: • Salary and Benefits: Job Announcement: This is the advertisement that you find in the newspaper, on the internet, or in a separate advertisement like jobavailable.com. Within the announcement, you will find the position title, salary range, job description, education/experience requirements, and closing date. And, most of the time, you find the name, telephone, and/or e-mail address of the assigned recruiter. It is okay to contact this person with questions. Recruitment and Selection: Recruitment and selection are two separate phases that a hirer will use to fill a vacated position. Recruitment: The recruitment begins when a city, county, water district, etc. have a vacancy and advertise the recruitment through their website's jobs available page, newspaper, jobsavailable.com, craigslist.com, etc. You have to make sure that you submit all the requirements of the job announcement. This usually entails the standard job application, resume, references, and applicable certificates or other attachments as needed. Selection: Once the recruitment closes you enter the next phase of the process: Selection. This is where "the meat and potatoes" occurs. Once your application is submitted and approved to move forward you can expect a few things to happen: 1st Interview: This is your first experience with the agency. The majority of the time, the interview panel will consist of individuals that are from other agencies and typically in a supervisory role to the position you are applying for. For example, if you applied for a Management Analyst position your panel will likely consist of Senior Management Analysts, Supervising Management Analysts, or Assistant to the City Manager positions. The questions will focus on very broad background questions, yet 1-3 questions will likely focus on something specific about that agency: budget, department goals, etc. 2nd Interview (Hiring): This is a very good step. If you make it past the first level the next interview will likely be the final hiring interview with the panel (if there is one) consisting of individuals working within that agency. This interview will be a lot more specific, focusing on your knowledge, skills, and abilities, and how they can help the Department or City. Background Check / Physical: Congrats! You were just offered a tentative offer of employment pending the successful completion of a background check (limited or full depending upon what department you will work for) and physical. Start Date: This is the day that you have been waiting for, the Human Resources Department or your new supervisor will be the one calling you and ironing out when you will start. This is the official two week notice period but always make sure that you receive a formal notice in the mail (or pick one up from the agency) before you give your two-week notice to your current employer. Salary and Benefits: Salary and benefits are probably the primary reasons why you are looking at local government jobs. While salaries are typically on the lower end of what you could earn in the private sector it is still competitive. Benefits are the true benefit of working in the public sector. A Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) retirement can be lifesaving. Typically, you receive a percent x number of years worked = your retirement percentage. That retirement percentage x your single highest years earnings = your retirement benefits after reaching a certain age. Moreover, you will likely have health benefits for yourself and your family for the rest of your life. Be on the lookout for a more detailed book in the next few months. I will cover each of these areas in greater detail and offer a lot more examples and details that will help you get what you want. government jobs central government jobs government job vacancies
