![]() ![]() ![]() It also breaks down the rankings into a number of factors that may or may not be important to you.įinally, there is this Wired article that details the struggles that NASA is having connecting with young people. This gives in-depth statistics about what kinds of people are more likely to be happy working at NASA (most employees), and what types of people are less likely to be happy at NASA. Second is the annual ranking of Best Places to Work in the Federal Government, which ranks NASA at fourth. It covers almost any question that you could have about what it’s like to work at NASA, so serious job searchers should spend some time browsing this site. First is NASA People, which is a site that appears to be targeted towards current NASA employees. In addition to NASA’s jobs site, there are a few other sites that are worth mentioning. Like we said, there’s a ton of information. There are also lists of occupation types, applicable entry-level pay ranges, and NASA locations to help you determine which jobs you should apply for. We couldn’t find any information on an application process tailored specifically to entry-level candidates (probably because there isn’t one) however, there is a guide for college students who are seeking employment. Since NASA does not accept applications for unspecified positions, you must go through this site and search specifically for NASA jobs. If you read our post about entry-level jobs at the US Forest Service, then you’re aware of the fact that all jobs with the United States government are posted on. If we left you to navigate the site, it would probably take you quite a while to find the guide, but we think it’s important to reward our loyal readers with shortcuts straight to meaningful content (if you like shortcuts, subscribe to One Day, One Job). It’s audaciously long, but it covers everything you need to know to get a job at NASA. ![]() Before you jump in and start looking around the site, you might want to read NASA’s Applicant Guide. Maybe it’s a test to weed out candidates who can’t deal with navigating through complex situations, but we were a bit overwhelmed by NASA’s jobs site. Usually, we complain that companies shortchange job searchers in terms of career related information on their website, but with NASA the problem is one of too much information. NASA is a large government agency with many entry-level jobs, so instead of identifying each job opening, we’re going to guide you through how to their jobs website and help you find the information that you need before you decide to apply for a job. If you’re not ready for the commitment that it takes to be an astronaut, there are still plenty of entry-level jobs at NASA that will enable you to have a meaningful impact on the space program and NASA’s other endeavors. There’s no surefire (or easy) way to become an astronaut – pilots, schoolteachers, doctors, scientist, and engineers have all been astronauts – but if selection as an astronaut is one of your life goals, you need to start preparing now. Since the beginning of the space program, there have only been 321 astronauts selected. It almost seems that as children we’re more realistic about life and careers than we are when we reach adulthood – except those kids who wanted to be astronauts. The more ambitious children might want a job as a doctor or veterinarian – still steady, but requiring a significant investment in education. They want to be firefighters, policemen, and teachers – professions that are in constant, steady demand. Typically young children are quite realistic about their career aspirations. ![]()
