[quote=BrentwoodTerrace]Hi there-my first post and I hope you'll forgive me but I am fairly desperate for some advice dealing with the challenging spot I find myself in.

In July, I applied for a government job outside of the DMV to which I am fully and uniquely (hang on, I"ll get there) qualified. The job was open for a month, and I was contacted by the hiring manager soon three weeks after the job closed to let me know that they were reviewing the applications and would be selecting interview participants "soon". That was on September 11, and I haven't heard anything from anyone since. Should I just move on?

Some background on me: 
-doctoral degree, working in a specialized field, have over 15 years relevant experience;
-I have publications focusing on the agency to which I am applying, but have never actually worked for said agency; 
-Working at my current job (gov't, specialized field) for 4 years and the place is literally driving me mad; toxic atmosphere, horrible co-workers, the usual stuff; 
-eager to leave city with COL concerns and growing family.

Basically, this really is my "dream" job and if I'm not even selected for an interview, I'll be both surprised and probably devastated. I'm so anxious and upset about this that I have considered leaving my field of work if I do not get this job.

I've told multiple friends and family about this job and their response is generally something along the lines of, "who else but you could do that for them?"

I'm literally killing myself with the anxiety...it is destroying my productivity and this job is the first thing I think of every morning. I'm so tired of it.

Thank you for your thoughts![/quote]
