So if you re one of those people prone to travel, or if you just get sick of your relatives, then you can easily transfer to another department, city, state or country. If you re the transient type though, at some point you re going to end up in Canberra. If you are sick of the rat-race and crave a bit of paddock then the public service can take you there. Contrary to popular belief, you don t have to work in the city to have a good job. Employees are encouraged to work across a variety of areas, collecting a cache of skills as they go, rather than specialising and risking redundancy.
Public servants survive by their network.
A job well done leads to another and so on. Having friends in other departments and keeping an ear to the ground for new jobs is an advantage. Search for Public Sector jobs here .
