    Pros: Staff in the regions especially agriculture everyday battlers in this dysfunctional dept

    Cons: Some managers appear to prioritise personal advantage over the broader goals of the organisation , feathering their nest is a common occurance while using department resources. Lack of accountabilty from senior leaders for culture and of taking responsibilty for the health and well being of staff .Old management mindset stuck has not evolved with amalgamation. Self centered siloed pillar mentality .

Frequently asked questions about government cybersecurity jobs

What is a ghost job?

A ghost job is a posting for a role the company isn't actively hiring for. Some stay up after the company fills the role. Others collect resumes for an opening that may never come.

You spend an evening tailoring an application, and nobody on the other side is looking for you.

What do government cybersecurity jobs pay?

Across the postings here that list pay, the median is about $114,000 a year. About 7 in 10 of these postings list a pay range; the rest show an estimate, marked as one.

How many government cybersecurity jobs are there?

At our last count there were about 180 open postings from about 150 employers. The list on this page is live, so the count above it is the current one.

How does Enhancv spot a ghost job?

Every posting goes through five checks: how long it has been up, whether a salary is posted, what employees say about the company, how specific the description is and whether it lists real requirements. Each job shows the checks it passed and the ones it didn't.

How fresh are the job postings?

Enhancv checks postings every hour, and every job shows how long ago it went up. Most hires happen within 30 days of posting. A listing that's been open for two months raises its ghost job risk.
