[quote=Anonymous]You don't need government experience to work in the government. You need the skills for the job, and depending on what kind of job you're going for, the best experience out there might be from a non-USG entity. 20 yrs in comms sounds plenty useful. We have comms folks in my agency - your background would have a place here. The trick with getting in is to tailor your USAjobs resume to match the key words in the job description - and they have to match exactly. It can't be an equivalent term that anyone in your industry would know means the same thing. A computer does the initial screen, so making it through the computer filter is the hardest hurdle, IMO, but once you know how the system works, you can navigate it and it's not so hard to get in if you're qualified for the positions you're applying for.[/quote]
