Inpersonal essay. What might be some of the elements that you would want to consider in your essay? For many&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">individuals who work in the public sector, they have a deep desire to develop public policies that&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">contribute to the public good. In other words, you may have what is referred to in the literature as&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">a public service motivation. It might be the breadth of employment opportunities that attracts you<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">to the public sector (i.e., think about all of the various job classifications and different&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">educational backgrounds of those who are employed in the public sector) and the numerous&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">opportunities for both lateral (i.e., different regions or parts of the country or even overseas&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">assignments) and upwards job mobility (i.e., lots of opportunities for promotions). Maybe it is&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">the diversity of the people working in the public sector that you find appealing (here you can<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">comment on the various target groups in the public sector and the extent to which they are&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">represented amongst the ranks of the public service). Perhaps the pay and benefits are an&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">important consideration in your decision; if so, then you should address the typical levels of&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">compensation for the entry-level position(s) that are of interest to you. Moreover, you could&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">comment on some of the human resource management policies in place in public sector&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">organizations that make government employment appealing to you (e.g., job sharing, work-life<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">balance, opportunities for training and development).&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">For those of you who are not interested in public sector employment, why is that the case? Is it&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">the fact that as you progress through your career, the compensation and benefits in the public<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">sector are not nearly as lucrative as private sector employment? Alternatively, is it the fact that it&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">still takes too long to make a hiring decision and that too few indeterminate positions are&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">available upon graduation that is making you less receptive to public sector employment?&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Perhaps your impression is that despite the changes to the public sector because of new public&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">management to allow for greater discretion and autonomy for public servants, it is still too&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">stifling a work environment. In other words, the public sector is still too slow and ressitant to&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">change and too rule-bound to allow you to be creative and innovative in your work. Perhaps you&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">are unilingual and view your inability to work in French as a serious impediment to having a<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">successful public sector career (although there would be opportunities to learn French while&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.2353px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">employed in the public service).
