Don\u2019t limit yourself, try not to stay in one organization for a really long time. I would say every five or six years start thinking about moving and going on,\u201d said Adriane Burton, chief information officer at the Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 Health Resource and Services Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2012 and 2016, the percentage of women serving in the Senior Executive Service has hovered between 33 to 35 percent, according to a 2017 Office of Personnel Management report on SES employees. This means that most leadership positions in the government are still held by men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2016, women also held only 25 percent of the nation\u2019s tech jobs, according to a report by the National Center for Women and Information Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stacy Dawn, assistant director for privacy and security compliance at the Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s Office of Information Technology, explained that moving up the professional ladder in government requires a breadth of experiences, which can often only be gained from working a variety of positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cApply for every promotion that looks interesting to you, because let them tell you if you\u2019re the best qualified. Because you might think it\u2019s interesting, you might be a little unsure, but they\u2019re going to pick the best qualified and if that is you, then you own that job,\u201d said Dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frequent movement also enables the minority of women working in federal IT to find positions that appreciate their talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMove often. Don\u2019t stay where you are not loved,\u201d said Adrian Gardner, CIO at the Federal Emergency Management Administration, who moderated the panel. \u201cYou need to go where you\u2019re valued.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A strategy of changing positions every few years may also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/hr\/2017\/12\/26\/motivated-by-mission\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">appeal to millennial employees<\/a> in the federal government, as research has shown that younger generations prefer to change jobs every five years or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat you think you think you want to be today is probably not what you\u2019re going to end up being five years from now, so my philosophy was always do really good work, keep your head down, but also keep your head up paying attention to things around you and how they\u2019re changing,\u201d said Beth Angerman, executive director of the Unified Shared Services Management Office at the General Services Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renee Macklin, director of IT and enterprise services at the Department of Commerce, said that employees should also strive for constant education to keep on top of the ever-changing nature of technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s very important to continue to get professional development, because if you don\u2019t you can\u2019t stay on top of what\u2019s happening,\u201d Macklin said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frequent moves often provide the experiences and support needed to make it to
