Washington, D.C. can be an exciting city to work in, but it can be challenging to drive around, especially during rush hour.

So, if you are planning on working and driving in the capital, you will want to follow these six tips.

Three Tips for Working in Washington D.C.

1. Pay Attention to Keywords to Help You Get an Interview

If you are looking to relocate to Washington D.C. for work, you should be able to find a position more easily when you broaden your job search (such as attending job fairs and networking with professionals online), construct a base resume and adjust it according to the specific employers you are contacting, and learn how to conduct yourself well during interviews.

There is one other thing you can do that is often overlooked but which can help you succeed in getting an interview: paying attention to keywords.

Many companies in D.C. use an applicant tracking system to scan resumes initially. By ensuring you use relevant keywords that are used in the job advertisement in your resume, you could stand a better chance of being offered an interview.

So, use keywords and industry-specific words in your cover letter, resume, and supporting documents to help you stand out against the competition.

2. Learn About the Local Government

If you are planning on living and working in D.C., you should learn about the unique aspects of D.C.’s government structure.

For instance, you should know that the mayor, a thirteen-member council, and the Advisory Neighborhood commissions represent residents in Washington, D.C., and the city is divided into eight wards.

The federal government determines the tax dollars that are allocated to support local issues like education, healthcare, crime control, Social Security, and environmental protection.

3. Use Public Transportation Instead of Your Car to Get Around Washington, D.C.

As we shall see, driving in D.C. can often be challenging, especially during rush hour. So, you should consider switching to public transport.

The easiest ways of getting around the city are to use Metrobus, Metrorail, and the D.C. Circulator.

Plus, the city is very walkable. It is bicycle-friendly as well. D.C. has over forty miles of bicycle lanes, and it has the Capital Bikeshare program, too.

Three Tips for Driving in Washington, D.C.
1. Familiarize Yourself with the Roads

If you do decide to drive in Washington, D.C., you should first familiarize yourself with the roads and D.C.’s grid system.

Streets that run north to south are numbered, while ones that run east to west are lettered.

And the roads are configured in broad diagonal avenues that cross over the street grid.

2. Find Great Value Car Insurance for Washington, D.C.

If you are planning on regularly driving in Washington, D.C., you should make sure you have the right auto insurance coverage in place.

Thankfully, you can find great value car insurance DC when you use a reputable online comparison platform to compare different insurance companies.

3. Avoid Rush hour

Washington, D.C., is one of the worst cities in the country to find yourself in during rush hour because, in addition to local workers, many people commute, especially from Maryland and Virginia.

The city’s stop-start rush hour is notoriously stressful, and it could take you a lot longer than you plan to arrive at work and get home each day. So, if possible, avoid rush hour.

Though, you could learn a relaxation technique instead to help you stay positive and stress-free in rush hour.

The worst times to drive in D.C. are between six a.m. and nine-thirty a.m. and between three-thirty p.m. and six-thirty p.m. Also, rush hour is at its worst on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
