I treat public sector interviews pretty well the same as private sector interviews....EXCEPT for the following to note:

*Understand there maybe a work culture difference between public and private. But depends on job, manager and work environment.

*Demonstrate a sense of knowing how to navigate quickly within a large, sometimes complex organization to get things done.

I've had several different public sector jobs (13 yrs. so far) vs. several private sector (16 yrs.). I am currently working for a govn't. Yes, this why I made the choice to relocate. I consider myself lucky given the the fact some govn't employees around my age, are retiring.

In Canada, also some federal govn't jobs are unionized, below manager. Some govn't acutally give tips on types of questions they ask on their website.


Good luck.Let us know.
