SNIPPET:
People
get jobs in the Federal Government in the same way that
they get most jobs in the private sector: by finding
openings and submitting a resume or application. But
searching for a Federal job can be more complicated than
other job searches. That’s because of regulations
designed to keep the hiring process fair. Job titles are
standardized. Resumes are more detailed. And job
qualifications are more specific.
Tailoring your search to the Federal Government’s
rules will increase your chances of getting a job. Read on
to discover the types of jobs available in the Federal
civil service and the qualifications required. Then, learn
how to find and apply for jobs. Information geared toward
students and recent graduates is on page 16. Tips for
career changers are on page 19. And page 25 summarizes the
Federal job search as a 5-step process. ![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090507063908im_/http://stats.bls.gov/opub/ooq/images/clear.gif)
