What matters MOST in your career right now?

She looked at the job posting again.

Third time in six months.

Same role. Same department. Same empty chair.

“Any applicants?” the department head asked.

“A few,” she said. “But they’re taking private sector offers.”

He sighed. “Can’t we just move faster?”

She almost laughed.

Faster...

In the private sector, that meant a few approvals and a signature.

Here it meant:
Civil service rules.
Salary bands locked by ordinance.
Three committee reviews.
Public posting requirements.
A council agenda slot next month.

She wasn’t frustrated with the process.
She understood why it existed.

Transparency.
Fairness.
Public trust.

But the work still had to get done.
So she kept going.

Calling candidates after hours.
Explaining the important mission behind the role.
Helping hiring managers write job descriptions unchanged since 2007.

Three months later, the seat was finally filled.

No headlines.
No celebration.
Just one less empty chair in a building full of people trying to serve their community.

Public sector HR isn’t always about speed.
It’s about persistence.
And the quiet belief that good government still matters.

What usually triggers companies to FINALLY fix "people problems"?

Do you believe AI when it says your role won't be replaced by AI?
