In the wake of the economic recession and the downsizing spree various national and multinational companies have undertaken, government sector is the only one offering job security and reliability. For a stable future, guaranteed income, time bound promotion and job security people prefer to get government jobs instead of applying for vacancies in private companies. Private sector might offer more income and incentives, but the incentives and perks that come along with government jobs are far too lucrative.
If you are looking for a job, then the best way to find a suitable one for yourself in any sector is to keep in touch with employment bulletins and using internet. Governmental jurisdictions, agencies and cities, counties and state based organizations regularly post job vacancies online on central employment portals like for Indian central government employmentnews.gov.in is the site where various central boards and agencies post their vacancies and advertisements, so you can easily navigate to a page, check out the job requirements and stipulated income and file an application if you are interested. Each job listing provides essential details like educational qualifications and special skills required, your duties and responsibilities, nature of job and salary in most cases; so all you need to do is to select the one that suits your educational background and salary expectation the best, and apply for the job. Normally closing dates for applications are also mentioned on websites, so you can see if it isn’t too late to apply.
Apart from the internet, another way to find government jobs is to look for job vacancies listed in newspapers. In India, for example, a weekly newspaper by the name of Employment News is published for the perusal of jobseekers. All job vacancies in public sector under central or union government are listed, along with cut-out application forms for some of them. Keeping an eye on the job listings in newspapers can also help to find a good job, provided you can differentiate well between jobs that simply match your qualifications and jobs that will help you to harness your capabilities and gain performance.
