Why Public services look for good citizens to be their employees?
The public services look for good citizens to be part of their employees because they want to ensure that whoever they are employing can be trusted.
They want to make sure that the good citizen has good responsibility in order to make sure that if they have to sort something out themselves then they can do it without messing anything up or causing trouble.
They look for citizens with manners and understand how to talk to people properly because if your rude to the public then they will have no respect for you.
They also look for selflessness because they need to be assured that you will put others needs before yours unless its an emergency.
These are only a few qualities that a good citizen will need to join the Public services.
