How to make your public sector job application stand out

As a public sector worker, you already have personal insights about how you secured a state or local government job. But what if it’s been a while since you last looked for a job and what if you want to work at a different jurisdiction, or advance in your current organization? Join HR and hiring professionals to learn how to craft a strong professional resume and cover letter. HR professionals from Metro will discuss how they conduct their initial screening of applications and how they determine which ones get shared with the hiring team. Hiring professionals will discuss their secondary screening process and how they determine who should receive an interview. The panel will also provide insight on how applicants can prepare for interviews and what applicants can do during an interview to set themselves apart from other candidates. This is an especially great time to get reacquainted with applying for government jobs as state and local government jobs are still rebounding from the pandemic. Members will receive a calendar invite with a Zoom link.
