About this group
Working in the public sector is so different than the private sector! From the interview process to the measurements of success of an organization, serving the public comes with its own unique challenges and opportunities.
If you are currently in the public sector or are curious about how to get there, this group is for you!
Group rules
1. NO POLITICS! Unless you are discussing the challenges of navigating political pressures while trying to get the job done. We don't need any debates about which side is better because we have a job to do no matter who is in charge.
2. Give others the kindness you hope for and the benefit-of-the-doubt. We are all out here doing the best we can. This isn't a place for you if you are looking to criticize others to make yourself feel something.
3. Be supportive.
4. Only share things that are relevant to the audience of the group. Don't tell us about your work from home business - this group is about working for the public sector.
