3. Climbing the Ladder

4. Job Opportunities

The Government sector hires their employees through special exams they conduct and they don't happen all year long, it is not easy to land a job in the government sector as the vacancies open up once or twice a year whereas the private sector hires throughout the year, if you're qualified for the job and have the required work experience then you can easily land a private job.

5. Working hours
