Government Job Series Explained: Basically, a job series is just a way for the government to classify and organize jobs. For example: 0801 - General Engineer Category 0854 - Computer Engineer Category 0855 - Electrical Engineer Category 0861 - Aerospace Engineer Category Don't get too hung up on the numbers. Focus on the specific skills and responsibilities outlined in the job description. Just like different concentrations within a major, the numbers narrow down the specific type of work. So, even though two jobs are in the same series, the specific tasks might be different… likewise, even if you’re hired as a 0855 Electrical Engineer, you may still have involvement in aerospace engineering concepts.
