State, Local & Tribal Governments
While the federal government has a single portal for searching and applying for jobs, the resources for finding positions in local, state or tribal governments will be specific to the organization. Your first step should be to identify your geographic criteria -- for which states, counties, cities, or tribal nations would you want to work?-- followed by a search of the government organizations' websites. Most states have a career portal (for example, CalCareers in California) for job searching. If you are searching at the local level, identify potential employers in your town or city and search their websites for job listings. Networking with professional contacts is also important for finding jobs that are not advertised.
