My career in the U.S. government starts here – or so I am told.
I found the interview tips helpful. Remember, you know more about yourself than the interviewer does. The interview is your turn to show all that is great about you. Remember, resumes don't hire, people do. Remember, wear business clothes because first impressions are important.
The glossary of federal terms contained some quaint terms. Life insurance is not just disability, ill health and death but it includes the all important accidental dismemberment insurance. I must remember to call it the rare bird position when someone is given a position when they haven’t earned it competitively through merit.
There is a photo of a man standing behind a woman, both looking at a computer, with the man’s arm draped protectively over the woman. It is next to the Career Interest Center, but there is no caption, until you go to the picture properties and read: ‘Husband assisting spouse with Career Exploration’. Sounds a little sexist to me.
There is a featured job that I presume changes regularly. On my visit I was invited to become a Management and Program Analyst with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). How could I resist? As the ad says, “the men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are dedicated to keeping America safe. CBP counts on them. Our Nation counts on them. Can we count on you?”
What I learned that was special:
• There are four sections of the U.S Armed Forces: the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
