That depends on wheter you want to work for the state, your local county of the Federal government.


If you want to work for the federal government , check out this website: http://usajobs.opm.gov. On this site you can search for jobs by agency, location and field.





The State of Texas (http://www.texas.gov/) has links to a pagefull of online job connections:http://www.twc.state.tx.us/customers/jse...





Try any of the links above and Good Luck!
Reply:Honestly, not very difficult. Although I am not currently in the Houston area, I am familiar with the Health-care industry in Texas. Essentially, the career path you have decided on will do nothing but grow over the next few years. You could probably expect a starting salary in the 40's - but expect that to grow with experience. A good place to start looking for a job is healthcarejobs.com


Hope this helps
