Question…

Asked by Anonymous

how can regular citizens work for the government.

People get jobs in the federal government in the same way that they get most jobs in the private industry: by finding job openings and submitting a resume or job application.

USAJOBS.gov is the federal government’s one-stop source for finding and applying for jobs. You can search for jobs by agency, geographic location, or type of work.
