So, what's the dress code for government job interviews? Is it always a suit and tie for men, or could I get away with something more business casual like this?

How did you break through the glass ceiling in government jobs? Is it best to seek an internal promotion or switch locations completely? I aspire to move into a leadership role in my city's library system, but it feels like a boys' club at the top. Would love to hear from women who've made it to the top.

Government employees deserve BETTER pay. I'm coming back from taking time off and was hoping to work for the state again. As I look at jobs, I'm incredibly discouraged by the pay gap. We're the ones keeping the lights on, but our salaries often don't reflect the value we bring. It's time for a serious conversation about pay raises across the board. Agree or disagree?

Has anyone here had to complete weird personality tests for a government job? Do you think it makes sense to include them in the hiring process? I just did two applications for private firms that required them and I can't stand it, hoping it's not the case for the state roles I plan on applying to as well.
