At The Resume Place, we want you to succeed in your federal job search, whatever your budget may be. That is why our company offers so many money-saving tools for your search. For President’s Day, here are my top ideas and recommendations for affordable education and information to help you land a stable, career-oriented position in the federal government.
Money Saving Idea #1: Consider Federal Job Search an Investment
First, I want to set the stage by showing you that landing a federal job is an investment you can make in landing a job with a highly competitive salary, promotion potential, and great benefits. For example, this could be your future government job salary:
– The average entry-level job in government (GS-9) in the Washington, DC area pays: $51K to $67K. – The average mid-career position in government (GS-12) in the Washington, DC area pays: $62K to $82K. – The average senior-level position in government (GS-13) in Washington, DC area pays: $89K to $115K.
