Civil Servants.
Every government has a need to hire many different people with different skills. Without these people, a government cannot function. The people that are hired to help certain government agencies operate are known as civil servants. Civil servants are different than elected officials. Individuals like senators or mayors must be elected to their positions in the government. The idea of civil service was introduced in the United States in 1872 when a law was enacted that allowed for the appointment of individuals to perform work to support the three branches of government. People in the military are also not usually considered to be civil servants. The kinds of jobs that are available in the field of civil service are numerous and diverse. Civil servants may work for federal government agencies like the FBI, the CIA, and the US Postal Service. Positions can also be held at the state and local level as well. For example, the Department of Motor Vehicles in a county will be staffed with civil servants. People with specialized skills can also work for the government as civil servants. For example, a lawyer can work for the community as a public defender who defends clients who cannot afford an attorney on their own. The kind of pay a person can receive as a civil servant really depends on the kind of job that person does for the government. For example, a new US postal worker can expect to make a starting salary of somewhere between $14 and $20 an hour. The head of a government department, on the other hand, can make up to $96,000 a year. Due to competitive salaries and very good job security, positions in civil service are highly sought after. A person will have to do a number of things to attain a job in civil service. First of all, a person must have a relatively clean criminal record. Secondly, due to competitiveness and the specificity of certain government positions, a college degree will also probably be required. Most civil servants will also have to pass something called the civil service exam. This exam tests a person’s knowledge of the government as well as information related to the position for which they are applying.
