In the light of the recent recession and despite a federal worker pay freeze, some would appreciate the stability and the security of a government job. I can shed a little light on the process of obtaining such a position and help with your job search.
The first step in searching for your government job is to visit the website usajobs dot com. This is the website that all of the federal departments advertise their job openings. The job openings on this are searchable by location, keywords, and series code. Begin by searching by keywords to locate the job you are interested in. The keyword search should bring up a list of available openings. It is important to notice the series code. This is how all federal positions are categorized. The series code should be a four digit code in the middle of the position classification (e.g. GS-XXXX-01, where XXXX is the series classification code). You can use this series code for future job searches to make your results more specific.
