This company advertises government jobs in the help wanted and other sections of newspapers. Since the firm is not affiliated with any government agency, does not hire anyone for government jobs, cannot guarantee employment or earnings, nor the availability of jobs, we consider its advertising practices to be deceptive and misleading.

Complaints about similar services allege: that the complainants received lists of possible sources of government jobs, or were told that they provided preparation services which would lead to a higher civil exam score, or that the company used an interview type process to mislead the complainant to believe that this was the first step in obtaining employment.

We suggest anyone interested in government employment look in the phone book under city, county, state and federal government and contact the agencies directly. Call the various offices to determine if the agency is hiring and where jobs are posted. For instance, Postal facilities list job openings in the main post office and at the branch where the job is open. The job postings list the time period for applying and the minimum job requirements.
