Government

You may be looking for a new career in Local Government or you may be looking to advance your career. There are many different jobs in local Government available from Trainee positions to those for Management Positions. Choosing your career path can be difficult. This will depend on your experience and qualifications and career goals.

You will find jobs across all areas, including Procurement Officers, Quantity Surveyors, Marketing Officers, Client Advisers, Bid Managers / Bid Writers, Project Managers and many more.

Whether you have a small amount of experience and/or qualifications or a lot, there is something in local government for you! The following information gives you an idea of the kind of qualification and training initiatives that may be available:

National/Scottish Vocational Qualifications (N/SVQs)

N/SVQs are work-based qualifications, based on National Occupational Standards (NOS), which are awarded to students who provide evidence of competence in work situations. N/SVQs are not time limited or age restricted and are taken by employees. Assessment takes place in the workplace and there are 5 N/SVQ levels ranging from fairly routine competencies at level 1 up to much more complex, technical or professional work activities at level 5. There are no exams, although some formal learning may be needed if there are skills gaps. There are numerous different occupational areas to choose from and many of these are relevant to local government.

N/SVQs are nationally recognised qualifications that are not simply knowledge-based, but are centred around practical skills for work. Therefore, they provide the student with useful work related competencies and the employer with highly skilled, motivated staff.

Job Hunting

If you are searching for a job today specifically, there are the traditional methods of job searching, which includes responding to newspaper ads, applying directly to employers, and signing on with a recruitment agency. With the advent of the internet, there now exists another, more powerful, medium with which to search for jobs.

The internet is fast becoming a dominant force in bringing candidates and employers together in an effective way. There are now numerous "Job Boards" on the internet that advertise vacancies from all over the UK.

These Job Boards on the internet are a very effective resource for candidates, recruitment agencies and employers. As a candidate searching for a job on the internet, you can do so from your home, as long as you have a PC and an internet connection. If you are seeking employment in the Government area then the job website government-recruitment.co.uk makes your task very simple, it offers you a direct resource for Government job vacancies that are currently listed on the major job boards.

Additionally, you can register on these Job Boards for vacancy alerts and job news sent to you via email. You simply specify your requirements for the type of job (eg. Sales Careers), and you are then alerted immediately a vacancy that may be of interest is lodged on the Job Board.

A recent trend in internet recruitment is that employers and candidates are becoming very specific in their requirements, with a strong emphasis now on local recruitment. Companies are very interested in finding candidates that are local to their business. The reason here is that companies can save on relocation costs. Of course, if they cannot find the right skills locally, then they must look further afield.

Most employers are looking for skills that closely match the requirements of the job. This saves them additional training costs. Given this, it is important to emphasize your experience on the CV. Education is really secondary (unless the vacancy is a very technical one that requires a strong educational background).

Also bear in mind that recruitment agents will really only be interested in promoting you if they have a specific vacancy that they believe you are a good match for. If you do not have the skills, experience or education required for the current vacancies, then your CV will most likely not be considered. This does make things difficult if you are trying to change industry sectors. Experience is generally the key! So look for vacancies that you can match with your skills and experience.

If you obtain vacancies that match more closely your skills, then you can be more confident in getting the job. This will come across in the interview and will hopefully be a major influence in you securing a job.
