Application Process for Federal Employment 

The U.S. Federal Government can be a rich source of career experience no matter what your field of interest. By September 2009, 193,000 positions deemed 'mission critical' will need to be filled. Unfortunately, many students are missing out on openings that might be a perfect match for their skills and interests due to lack of awareness about government jobs and how best to navigate the federal applications process. Call to Serve is a program created to bridge the knowledge gap about federal employment and help ensure that college students understand the professional options available to them in federal service.

Call to Serve • Where the Jobs Are  
Where the Jobs Are outlines government-wide projected hiring needs through 2009 and is based on a survey of 34 federal agencies representing nearly 99 percent of the federal civilian workforce. The survey identifies nearly 193,000 “mission critical” jobs that need to be filled in the next two years — and this information is presented by agency and by occupation. This document, therefore, can serve as a critical tool for helping students decide where to start their job or internship search. You will need the free Acrobat Reader  plug-in to view the file.
Call to Serve • Best Places to Work  
All federal agencies can be a good place to work, but based on the opinions of federal employees, some are better than others.

More details and analyses of each agency can be found on bestplacestowork.org . You will need the free Acrobat Reader  plug-in to view the file.
