Competition for government jobs is very high as they are secure jobs. This means that recruiters will be going through hundreds of job government job CVs for every advertised government job. Your government job CV should therefore be well done to receive any notice from recruiters.   

A well done government CV is well thought out. Knowledge about the position and the governmental organization to which you are applying are necessary. There are several areas within the government that you can apply for e.g. as an engineer, systems analyst, manager, human resource manager and a laboratory scientist amongst many others. Ensure that you meet all the qualifications set and your CV demonstrates this clearly.
