Burning Question: What's the best way to land your next government job?
Top tips range from setting up online job alerts to quietly using your network.
Let's face it: some people in government just hate their jobs. But even if you love yours, chances are at some point, you'll get the itch to see what else is out there, and figure out whether you can advance your career with a new position.
But what's the best way to go about it? Steve Ressler explores that question at GovLoop, listing his Top 5 methods for landing your next government job.
The list starts with some information-age basics, like making sure you've set up USAJOBS alerts so they deliver the right kind of potential positions for you. But it also cautions against being too dependent on technology. It's important to make sure the right people know you're in the market for a new position, so you can get a line on jobs opening up.
