[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice is only to apply for the ones for which you genuinely meet the descriptions in the posting - don't burn yourself out applying to ones for which you only arguably qualify.[/quote] Yes, those doing the hiring also appreciate this. Ask yourself not whether you [i]could [/i]do the task described, but whether you have already done it successfully. It sucks, but most government offices don't have the resources to let you ramp up from zero. This is why so many current Feds get hired into other Federal jobs, leading to the persistent myth that you must know someone in government to get into government. IMO, it's much more about being a known quantity and having a particular type of experience [that sometimes is only available in government] than about being connected.[/quote]
