Re: MBA federal government jobs

Government jobs span has a wide range of fields, it is important to look closely at the individual agency and field in which you are interested in working.

Government sectors

Government jobs available for MBAs vary widely.

Many government agencies – from the Department of Labor to NASA to the US Postal Service to the Department of the Treasury – have job opportunities for business school graduates.

While working for the government post-MBA might seem unconventional to some, the sheer range of jobs available makes it a logical choice for a variety of candidates.

According to the Partnership for Public Service, fields currently hiring for positions include Contracting, General Business and Industry, Loan Specialist, and Realty.

Government job opportunities for MBAs

Government agencies recruit at many business schools; be sure to attend any networking events and info sessions that are offered.

There are also fellowship opportunities available for b-school students:

Check the Presidential Management Fellows, which “matches outstanding graduate students with exciting Federal opportunities” and the Department of Labor MBA Internship and Fellowship Program, which gives MBA students the opportunity to serve as interns and/or two year fellows in various governmental agencies.

The stimulus plan has provided many government agencies the opportunity to open the doors to new hires

The recruiting from government industries is up by as much as 35% at many schools.

Salary Range:

Salaries for government jobs are lower than many of the private-sector jobs available to MBAs

But there are some advantages to working for the government, perhaps most significantly stability and quality of life.

The median base salary for Class of 2009 Harvard Business School grads entering government jobs was $90,000;

The number was the same for graduates from Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business.
