Bureaucrat* Brit

With looking into the two government bureaucrat jobs I found, I discovered many things I never new about them. I found that some possibilities of working as a government bureaucrat can take place here in Pennsylvania.

The first job I researched was for the federal government, and it was a security specialist. I found that working as a security specialist I would aid friends and neighbors in times of emergencies, and wing specialists for force protection and anti-terrorism. Times such as September 11th is an example of when I would aid those in need. The salary of this job caught my eye because the pay is about 66,562.00- 86,525.00 per year. And this job also comes with great benefits such as, flexible spending accounts, health insurance, leave, life insurance, long-term care, and a great retirement program. Although this job comes with all of these nice things, it has its requirements and special skills you would need in order to get into the program such as 52 weeks of specialized training experience to learn how to fulfill the tasks and duties of the job. I found out the hiring process is quite easy. It consists of filling out the requirement questions and sending in a detailed resume. I believe I would enjoy working as a security specialist because I enjoy helping people and I would love aiding people in the times of need. Too, the pay for this job would be great.
The second job I researched is for the Pennsylvania government and it is similar to the first job I researched although it has its ways of being different.

I researched what being a safety and occupational health specialist would be like. They assist people in managing, planning, directing, and controlling safety and occupational health programs. The nice thing about this job is that it is available in Adams County PA which is convenient because it is in Pennsylvania. The starting salary for this job is 50,408.00 per year which is good but it is not as good as the federal government job as a security specialist. This job is a full time position and the positive benefits about having this job is, competitive salaries, comprehensive health and life insurance, and a variety of good retirement programs. As a safety and occupational health specialist the training required is the same as the previous job I researched although with this job there is a substitution of education for experience unlike the last. The hiring process for this job also requires a resume with an official or unofficial transcript from the college you have previously attended. This job interests me because I enjoy helping people out so much and being able to help maintain occupational health programs would be a privileged job to have.

After looking into these two jobs, I think working as a government bureaucrat would be great due to being around and assisting to the needs of people as I like to do. The training doesn't seem too difficult, and the pay rate is immense. I am glad I chose two jobs I was interested in and looked at them in more detail.
