About the role

A government agency in Washington, D.C. is seeking an entry-level Correctional Officer for the Central Detention Facility. The incumbent will be responsible for enforcing regulations, providing security for inmates, and maintaining accountability. Candidates must possess a valid driver's license, meet background checks, and are subject to drug screenings. The position requires rotational shifts and offers a comprehensive training program. Applicants must also be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
