[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's definitely harder to break into the gov workforce mid-career unless you have some really niche skills and/or know someone on the "inside." Frankly, I found it a waste of time to apply for gov't jobs -- especially if you have to treat every job application as a super-special project that takes 1-2 hours to apply for (for which I get zero response rate) as opposed to 20-30 minutes per private sector job (for which I'll get a decent response rate.) I have kids, I have my actual job to perform ... why spend time on something frustrating? Others, however, might find their mileage varies. [/quote] Maybe a useful thread would be an open-ended "how did you get your government job? Please name the type of job and whether you knew someone on the "inside" or applied cold through the OPM website."[/quote]
