Career guidance teams/offices in the PS?
Hi everyone
I've been in the PS since 2021 working in the regions. I'm feeling burnt out, demoralized, and stuck. I joined straight out of post-secondary. At first it was a huge blessing. It still is however I feel stuck in terms of where I can grow in my career in the PS. When I joined as a student during covid, career outlook was very positive as positions that used to be reserved for the NCR were spread out to the regions thanks to remote work. However, with the recent government initiatives such as the SERLO, RTOs, and ERI, opportunities out in the region has dwindled significantly compared to covid era.
I'm currently acting as a PM-03. Does anyone know if there is any place we can reach out specifically within the PS that can help us clarify our career path? I'm in my late 20s and have been seriously considering switching careers because I can't see myself doing this until I retire. I feel that my career is not mine but beholden to the powers that be instead.
