Something I read made me a little curious...

Do you guys think working for a local, small, city government, at a administrative assistant level, cause any concern for processing the app?

I put it under the "government" portion of work history, because it is technically government... Didn't really think it would put up any flags, tho, being municipal -

Thanks!
Nope - not an issue. I worked for city gov't twice, and included that info in my application and it was never even mentioned in our CAIPS notes.
K...

One more thing:
When you filled it out, did you list it under the government section? Or the regular history section?

Thanks for the response, Robslove :). Hoe all is well...
I listed those jobs with my other jobs in the employment history section - but then I noticed, in the "government positions" (Q#13) that one of the examples listed was "civil servant". The jobs I had were always just clerical, so I didn't consider them to be "government" positions . . . but the civil servant thing caused me pause because all city government employees in California are required to step up as "civil servants" whenever there's a emergency declaration (something we have quite a lot of in California - fires, earthquakes, etc. ;) ) So, a couple of times I'd been called into service as a "civil servant". What I ended up doing was explaining exactly that on a separate sheet of paper, in reference to Q#13, but noting that "civil servant" had really never been an "operative" part of my job description.
