Bureau of Justice
Among the many jobs being offered by the department of justice in the Bureau of justice programs, I have chosen to apply for the position of a writer-editor. Although competitive, the editing job projections are up. In the previous years, there have been few jobs, but with the shooting diversity, things have changed. The most important qualifications of the job are a GS-11 level experience of one year, which includes the specialized experience of writing or editing complete and accurate materials (Zhu, 2016). This also comes with the ability to use advanced features on word processing programs, including techniques, styles, and formatting such as tables, merge functions, or edited materials such as reports, news features, and articles. In addition, one needs to be well acquitted with technical qualifications such as the ability to perform editorial reviews of manuscripts, the ability to communicate and deal effectively with others.
The key responsibilities of this job include the following; to write, edit, and review reports of different audiences. To identify data sources and highlight areas that are key as well as program requirements. Additionally, an editor has to draft policies, functions, and draft programs on topics that play a part in the mission of the agency, such as press releases, statistical reports, and reports to congress. I am, therefore, persuaded me to apply for this job due to my passion for writing. I am motivated to interact with works of different nature since it will help me grow in my career. My previous experience in different fields where I have been a chief editor puts me in a good position to handle work in the justice department. This is my dream career, and I will pursue it because I want to serve in my capacity as an editor for my entire life. Moreover, in editorial jobs, you learn a new thing every day.
