Searching For A Federal Job
Heather Eagar
Many years ago searching for a federal job was a long,
complicated and drawn out process. Today, it has been become
far less complex and is now just a three-step process. Finding
a federal job used to be accomplished through postings in a
government office branch and sometimes in libraries. Today,
finding an opening can be done right on the Internet. There is
a web site that lists federal jobs also lists many state, local
and even private business positions. Many of the federal, state
and local jobs can be applied for right online. If a position
requires a resume, individuals can take advantage of online
resume development and transmission.
Looking for a federal job can be done at most Federal buildings
around the country and even through an interactive voice
response telephone system for the hearing impaired. A search
may turn up something called a ‘hot job’, which is a job that
needs to be filled immediately. The office of personnel
management usually posts these for those who are in need of
immediate employment. If a person performing job search would
like to work with a specific federal agency, many times each
federal agency will list their job openings right on their
individual web site.
Most individuals looking for a federal job can complete the
application process by submitting a resume, a federal
employment application or even other written form of
application approved by the department accepting applications.
The federal government does provide application forms like the
optional application for federal employment form OF-612 and the
SF-171.
If an individual has done a job search and found positions that
he or she would like to apply for, whatever type of application
is submitted should contain important information. Applicants
should include all of the job information that was included in
the job listing, the applicants personal information including
all contact information, the applicant’s educational history,
previous employment record and any pertinent experience related
to the job position. Once the federal job search and application
process is complete, applicants simply need to wait for a
response.
