Summary of "Joining the Government" Section

In this section we learned about:

• Being mindful of any continuing financial relationship with your former employer when you enter Government service
• Payments from your former employer while you are in Government service
• The need to avoid the appearance of a lack of impartiality that might arise from your former position in the private sector

The bottom line: In cases where your Government job requires you to be involved in matters that would affect your former employer, you should consult with your agency's ethics officials before participating.

You've now come to the end of the "Joining the Government" section. You may either continue on to the "Where to Get Help" section or click on any of the other sections of this course on the left.
