The government jobs claim the title of a lucrative working opportunity, and it could be well because of the unique advantages that one is entitled to enjoy once he or she qualifies for the job. The incentives encompass things like health benefits, retirement plan, and a fixed annual wages increment. Employees working under the government need not be afraid of being ceased their employment, never would be deprived of the government facilities hence they often lure a high number of candidacy among youths.
Those who have not ventured into the public sector would be curious why most graduates are deviated into working under the government. It has been an apparent increment in the graph of career for those who obtain jobs in government departments. Once you experience the fun and benefits provided, you would come to understand the thrill of the job. Furthermore, there are innumerable government job portals available over the internet, and they offer the vacancy services that will certainly amaze those in search for a job.
Here are some of the major perks that government employees could enjoy:
• Allowances and benefits- Even after the discontinuation of pension government jobs still provide more allowances and benefits to employees when compared to private employees. For example, house allowances, motor vehicle allowances, travel allowances, mobile benefits sometimes and even more than that. Now I’m not saying that private jobs don’t provide these facilities to employees. Of course, they do, but not all private jobs cover these many expenses of employees. However, if you have a government job then regardless of your department or post you get access to all these allowances.
• Job security and stability- Unlike private sector where jobs are sometimes lost even on the minor mistakes, government jobs are mostly permanent until you do something insanely wrong. In fact, until you’re a highly talented executive rank officer of the company you may get fired even for the smallest mistake. It doesn’t happen in government sectors at least. They provide more security to employees for their future and help them in living a peaceful life.
• Ease of working- Government jobs also come with the advantage of the relaxed working environment. They come with set patterns for bonuses and promotions, so you don’t need to outperform yourself for getting those benefits. On the other hand, private companies promote the employees who outperform their peers in competition or have good connections with top level executives. All these factors combine, the private working environment became stressful and filled with anxiety while government working environment remains peaceful and cheery!
However, regardless of these things which sector you choose depends completely on your personal preference. If fast growth matters for you more than anything else, then you should go for the industry. On the other hand, if you aren’t that much concerned about the fast growth then you can opt for government jobs.
I really hated government jobs, but certainly made a point to think about, for my future to look for.
