If you are interested in a job or internship in the government sector, review these resources for more information and job postings.  

In addition to the Arizona Guide referenced above, these websites feature government job postings:

  • Usajobs.gov contains a nearly complete list of federal government jobs (not just legal jobs). Some listings may not qualify for LRAP.
  • Roll Call Jobs features jobs in government affairs, lobbying, and other positions with organizations that work with the federal government.
