Government jobs directory guide

How to use the government jobs directory: country career boards, closing status, USAJOBS/GC Jobs/Civil Service/APS/EPSO hubs, and official apply links.

Who it is for: Anyone exploring public-sector careers abroad or in their destination country.

Benefits

  • Links to official boards (USAJOBS, GC Jobs, UK Civil Service Jobs, APS Jobs, EU Careers / EPSO) plus curated vacancies.
  • Status banners for open, closing soon, and closed — closing dates change, so always confirm on the provider site.
  • MigrantIQ never processes applications; every listing points you to the official careers page.

Step by step

  1. 1. Open the government jobs directory

    Start on Open vacancies for roles with closing dates (currently strongest for USAJOBS). Switch to Career boards by country to navigate national portals.

  2. 2. Start with a country career hub

    Flagship hubs explain the official board for US, Canada, UK, Australia, and EU institutions. Use them when you need the national careers portal rather than a single vacancy.

    Example: USAJOBS hub
  3. 3. Browse all country boards

    Use Career boards by country for an A–Z navigator of official public-sector portals. Most boards send you to the government site to search live roles.

  4. 4. Open a vacancy detail page

    When a vacancy exists on MigrantIQ, check status, closing date, employment type, salary (when available), location, and overview. Use the official application CTA — never apply on MigrantIQ.

  5. 5. Confirm right-to-work and nationality rules

    Many government roles require citizenship or permanent residency of the hiring country. Read the official announcement carefully before investing time.

  6. 6. Pair with visas and country guides

    If you are relocating, open the destination country hub and visa guides alongside the careers page. Corridor pages help when origin and destination are known.

  7. 7. Watch for updates (optional)

    Closing dates and eligibility change. Re-check the official portal, and use policy alerts for destination immigration rule changes.
