Post Federal Player of the Week
The Partnership for Public Service (whose mission is to “revitalize our federal government by inspiring a new generation to serve and by transforming the way government works”) has a weekly feature in the Washington Post titled “Federal Player of the Week.” This week’s profile in particular caught our eye – Christina Stanford is an attorney in the Office of Legal Advisor in the U.S. Department of State. She discusses the breadth of her experience, from working on the 9/11 response task force to being stationed in Baghdad to working on the humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
“Sanford said she always had an interest in public service, but she never imagined a career so rich, diverse and challenging.”
If you are interested in a career in the federal government, read this profile, and explore the information on the Partnership website as well as the PSLawNet Federal Government Resources. Legal hiring is one of the top five areas where the federal government is going to be hiring in the next few years, and the breadth and depth of opportunity in a federal career is worth exploring.
