As we move into second semester in one of the worst economic times in history, many seniors and other college students wonder what’s in store for them. While the job market has not rebounded in many industries, there is still hope for those who are preparing to enter the workforce within the next year. After the 2008 historic presidential win of Barack Obama, I came across an interesting article. Throughout his 2 year campaign, Obama encouraged college students to get involved and make a difference of their own. His run for the presidency created a buzz among students and young adults to find out more about government jobs.
Fortunately, the government and the many businesses directly involved with the government, such as nonprofit organizations, lobbyist firms, and utility companies, are in the process of creating and hiring thousands of jobs. Popular government agencies that are hiring in great numbers are the FBI, the State Department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Federal Aviation Administration. Jobs in these departments require a broad range of skills and backgrounds such as accounting, business, management, health, and security.
Internships are always available through the government and more information about these can be found at the following links:
Federal Career Intern Program Presidential Management Fellows Program (PMF) Student Education Employment Program (STEP) Student Career Experience Program (SCEP)
Internships are a great way to get your food in the door for future government employment.
