Local Government
Why would I want to work for local government?
Good question! If you are the kind of person who would rather have their efforts be of real service inside a local community, rather than adding to the success of a company's balance sheet, then a career in local government could be for you!
Career paths and occupations include almost any commercial equivalent, and therefore include:
- Finance
- Property development
- Housing
- Charity work
- Construction
- Advertising
- Marketing
- Events
- Accountancy
- Consulting
- Legal
- HR and Recruitment
- IT
... and many more authority-specific activities!
So, in short, if your aim is to affect real lives in a positive way, with instant recognition and visible results, and you like tangible influence, then this could be your sector-of-choice!
