Are you an energetic, enthusiastic person who is looking for a job with plenty of opportunity for advancement? If so, a position at the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles or other government jobs may be the right choice for you. The Nebraska DMV is the state agency responsible for promoting driver safety through motor vehicle education and regulation.

Nebraska DMV employment opportunities are frequently advertised in local newspapers. However, you can also view current job postings on the Nebraska state Web site. All positions require a state application form (which you can fill out online), resume, and cover letter. However, academic transcripts, writing samples, typing test results, or other position-specific information may also be requested.

Nebraska DMV employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package that includes health and life insurance, catastrophic illness leave, sick leave, paid vacation, and paid holidays. Retirement benefits are offered through the Nebraska Public Employees' Retirement System.

Top Opportunities for Temporary Employment

If personal responsibilities or family obligations make it difficult for you to hold a permanent position, you'll be pleased to learn that the Nebraska DMV has many opportunities available for temporary workers. Jobs are filled through a partnership with Specialized Office Services, a state-run temporary employment agency.

Opportunities are available for vocational, technical, clerical, paraprofessional, and professional workers. In addition to filling out a state employment application, applicants will need to complete a prescreening interview, reference check, and criminal background investigation.

Top Get the Job You Deserve

Many job seekers are intimidated by the prospect of seeking employment with the Nebraska DMV. While applying for a government job can be a more complex process than interviewing for a private sector position, help is available.

Government job seekers can enroll in a free course called App-titude Tips: First Impressions Count. This 90-minute training class, sponsored by the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services, explains how to complete your employment application and prepare for your interview. Human resources representatives from various state agencies will also describe the skills they look for when hiring new employees.
