The federal government is the largest employer in the United States. It employs more than 2 million people across the country and its territories. Only 15 percent of these jobs are held by people in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. For job seekers in 2010, with the unemployment rate running at 9.6 percent, one of the greatest challenges is finding a job with stability. Working for the federal government is one such job.
The federal government has more than 100 agencies and bureaus, all of which do their own hiring, and it has jobs in hundreds of occupational specialties. Most list their jobs on usajobs.opm.gov, the official federal government hiring website. Available jobs can be searched by title, agency, salary, keyword and location. Each job gives a description of the duties and qualifications and includes an application, which can be submitted online. It also notes any special qualifications needed, or hurdles that must be overcome, for each specific job. For example, you might need special security clearances, and these involve extensive background checks. If required, these extra steps are noted. Job titles are standardized and don’t always match a private sector title, so don’t abandon a title just because it isn’t familiar to you. It might be just what you’re looking for.
