[quote=Anonymous]I am super bored at work, my commute is terrible, the good doesn't outweigh the bad anymore, so I have been keeping an eye on USAJobs for other opportunities. This is getting me nowhere!

Most of the time, if I answer the occupational questionnaire honestly (which I do), I am not going to rate myself an "expert" on everything, and thus I know that nobody is even going to look at my resume. When I bother applying I get the email that says basically, "there were better candidates; you're out."

I finally found a posting that I could rate myself all 4s and 5s on. So of course this time I get a message saying I will receive no further consideration because I "did not submit all the required forms as specified in the announcement." I have no freaking idea what I missed, but having to navigate this insane bureaucracy on a daily basis, I probably shouldn't be surprised.

I don't really have a question, just venting. And no, I am not a lawyer or finance type, which I imagine would make transferring skills easier.  Maybe I should just get out. Too bad I [i]want [/i]to be a civil servant.[/quote]
