016 - Public Sector Jobs - Could One Be the Right Move for You?

Have you ever seriously considered a career in the public sector? Most people haven’t (but probably should!) Sure, government work isn’t for everyone. But the truth is, public sector jobs have a reputation for offering unparalleled stability, excellent benefits, and more. Whether you’re just coming out of school and starting your career, or looking for a change at any point along your professional path, opportunities abound to work in state and local government – particularly right now. And, in fact, the number of those openings will only be increasing in the months ahead.

Here to discuss the ins and outs of applying to (and working in) the public sector is Ryan Bingham. Ryan’s own career launched to an exciting start in 2005 when he ran for mayor of his hometown – and won! At age 22 he became the youngest mayor in Connecticut’s history, managing a $70M+ municipal government enterprise. After serving 3 consecutive terms as mayor, Ryan went on to work in corporate and government relations at a leading environmental management company. Currently, he works for Sullivan & LeShane where his focus is lobbying state and municipal leaders on behalf of clients in the energy, environment and government administration sectors, as well as expanding opportunities for client growth within Connecticut. Ryan holds a BA degree in Political Science from Marist College and a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from the University of Southern California. He has been honored with Connecticut Magazine’s “40 Under 40” Award and also received Marist College’s Distinguished Alumni Medal.
