Civil service

Okay, kiddo, let me tell you about civil service. You know how people work for the government, like teachers, firefighters, and police officers? Those are all civil servants. They are part of something called the civil service.

Now, the civil service is really important because it helps to keep things running smoothly in our country. Civil servants are hired through a special process that looks at their qualifications and skills to make sure they are the best person for the job.

When someone becomes a civil servant, they get special job protections. That means they can't be fired for no good reason or because someone doesn't like them. They also get benefits like health insurance and retirement plans.

Civil servants work in all sorts of different jobs, but they all have one thing in common: they are serving the public. That means they are working to make our communities better and keep us safe.

So, next time you see a police officer or a teacher or someone else who works for the government, remember that they are part of the civil service and they are working hard to make our world a better place.
