How to find Government of Puerto Rico jobs

Where announcements are published

The Government of Puerto Rico's main channel is the official portal empleos.pr.gov, where agencies publish public service announcements. In addition, some public corporations, the Judicial Branch and municipalities run their own recruitment on their portals.

Each announcement specifies minimum requirements, documents, application deadline and the evaluation process. Unlike USAJOBS, each entity can have different forms and processes, read the full announcement.

Typical requirements and documents

Prepare these documents in advance; they are frequently requested:

• Updated resume with detailed dates and duties.
• Credit transcript or evidence of academic degree.
• Current professional certifications and licenses (when applicable to the position).
• Certificates the announcement requires (for example, criminal background or others as indicated).

Tips to compete better

Apply only to positions where you meet the minimum requirements, in public service, failing them disqualifies automatically. Adjust your resume to the announcement's vocabulary, keep evidence of your application, and monitor the portal regularly: application windows are often short.

On MyPRjobs we group government jobs alongside federal and private positions so you can compare options in one place; the application is always completed on the corresponding official portal.
