[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is...intense. I understand that your wife’s career has an impact on you and your family, but why are you so involved? “We” got a resume service, “our” fault, “we” made a FOIA request...are you applying for jobs on your wife’s behalf?[/quote]

To further answer your question, we often use each other to proof read our work and provide a 2nd set of eyes to anything we do, especially something like a federal job application as it is very intense and requires a lot of attention to detail. Even then you will likely miss something. The entire process is designed this way to make it easier for them to hire who they want. Several questions on the questionnaire if you notice,  are contradictory,  and you can easily disqualify yourself by simply clicking a no instead of a yes on a question, even though you already answered a similar question with a yes. Some of these yes or no questions are large paragraphs that won't include your category until the very end, and you can't select yes to more than one category. Like an "click all that applies" option, which would make more sense. The application doesn't check itself for inconsistencies and you can easily miss something that was buried in a 12 sentence paragraph that was meant for you. She missed out on another job a while back by doing this very thing. One no answer where it should have been a yes and they didn't even look at the rest of the application. She meant to click yes but got confused in the wording. In short, I type faster and often have a better way with words. My wife is also quick to just get discourage and not fight for something even if she is in the right. Im not that way and will do the fighting for her if needed. Its called being a family. [/quote]
