The three national/federal organizations that appealed to me are the Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Interior. I am interested in the Georgia Department of Education because the department manages funding and testing for local educational agencies accountable for student achievement. The Department of Interior appealed to me because a career with the U.S. Government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding.

Hi Trahlyta,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog and thank you for providing us with those three organizations as well as the job opportunities. The one that would appeal to me would be the Education Program Manager at the Department of Education.
