Sysadmin. I keep an eye on governmentjobs.com (US) and university/school system websites in my state whenever I’m looking for something new. I have a generic resume that I rewrite for each job I apply for using keywords in the job listing. I also always write a cover letter that details why I’m interested in the job and why my experience makes me a good fit. A lot of people say hiring teams don’t read those, but I’ve been told numerous times that my cover letter set me apart. I don’t apply for jobs I’m tepid about, so I don’t waste a lot of time applying dozens of places. I’d estimate if I’m called for an interview, I also get a job offer 75% off the time.
A lot of people discourage from public sector jobs, but in my experience they pay almost as well as private sector ones and come with better benefits, less stress, fewer mandatory overtime situations, etc.
