[quote=Anonymous]I'm about to interview for a government job that I really want. I am a partner in a law firm, and the job is listed as GS 11/12. Because of financial pressures, I cannot take the job if I'm hired in at GS 11 or even at step 1 of GS-12. I could probably swing something in the middle of GS-12. On the OPM website, it says that "A new GS employee is usually hired at step one of the applicable GS grade. However, in special circumstances, agencies may authorize a higher step rate for a newly-appointed Federal employee based on a special need of the agency or superior qualifications of the prospective employee." Anyone have any insight on the possibility of getting something like this? At what stage of the interview process should I raise this issue, and with whom? Any other advice anyone has? [/quote]
