I'm applying for dc government jobs (not feds, city government) and am curious about what it's like to work at the local level. I know agencies may differ, but any experiences would be helpful.
I would love to be a fed, have been trying for a long time, but I'm not a veteran, intern, or a career/career conditional employee, just a "US Citizen" with no preference points waiting in a line with thousands of others who all want the same call.
Well DC government gave me a rang and it felt nice to actually apply for a job and get a call within a few weeks. I forgot how it worked in the non-fed world.
So tell me about it. I would prefer not to say the agency that's interested in me, but any experiences on any agency from an employee or contractor would be welcome.
I'm a DC government employee. The pay is solid. The schedules are flexible. Alternative work schedules and telework are popular options. Every year we get a cost of living increase in annual salary.
I work in personnel at an agency. Work life balance is respected.
My last experience with DC gov't. employees (looking for old legal/medical records from the 60's pertaining to my elderly father) was pretty amazing, in a positive way. I was so impressed with their quick & friendly service that I contacted their upper-level supervisors to compliment them.
Thank you both for the info. That's definitely reassuring.
