Networking: Meet other professionals to learn about the occupation and other specialties within the field. Making connections to a professional will help grow your knowledge and begin to grow.

Background Checks: Most public service jobs (Police, Probation, FBI, etc.) have a very strict and extensive background check. Be open and honest with a mentor or a professional about your background and concerns that may stop candidates from those jobs.
