About the Course

Applying for a government job is a long, complicated, and not very transparent process. Frequently, applicants get frustrated, feel like they are just spinning their wheels, and end up asking themselves: “Just what is it that the Government is looking for?”. 

Many never figure out the answer to that question, or if they do, it takes them years to figure it out.

But what if you could fast track that learning process? 

What if you could learn in  3 weeks what it normally takes years to figure out?

What if you had someone who could show you, step by step, what it really takes to get hired by the Government? 

That’s exactly what Get that Government Job! gives you.


But before I did that, I was an applicant myself, and I went through the same long learning curve that you’re probably going through right now.

In my case, I was in semi-retirement and was only interested in working temporary contracts. That meant going through the application/hiring process over and over again. In the beginning, it was a frustrating experience. 

I was a great candidate, but I couldn’t seem to get noticed. So I knew I had to figure out how the whole “system” worked. And that’s just what I did—I devoted my time to figuring out, bit by bit, just what it takes to get hired by the Government. 

But now I also have inside experience and knowledge. That’s because some of the government job competitions I won were in HR, and I began working as an applicant screener and interviewer. That’s when my knowledge of the hiring process kicked into high gear.

Over and over again, I’ve seen what applicants do right, and I’ve seen what they do wrong. I’ve also seen how little most of them understand about how the government hiring process actually works. 

And that’s an important thing to know, because applying to the government is very different from applying to other jobs. There are many steps, each with specific requirements, and if you don’t understand how it all works, you have very little chance of getting hired. 

I know what it’s like to be on the other end of the interview, and how frustrating the whole application process can be. And that’s why I created Get that Government Job! 

I am determined to help people like you cut through the confusion and master the government job application process so you can confidently handle all of the hiring steps like a pro.

  • No more frustration
  • No more second guessing yourself
  • No more wondering what the Government wants

You can take control of your future now.
