[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to say what types of jobs OP can apply for, since she didn't say what her specialized experience is, but whatever it is, she has twenty years of it, so she can probably go for the higher GS levels, and there's lots of them that are independent. She might be better off going for the higher levels, actually, because there's less competition from veterans there, although in my experience most have at least a masters.

Thinking stuff like:
Decision write (if attorney but I don't think she is)
IRS Revenue Agent
Contract Specialist (a grind, but you're not managing people or strategic initiatives)
IT stuff
Management & Program Analyst in whatever field
Auditor

But as a PP said, you have to really show the experience you have and tailor it to the position. It can't just be an amorphous "I want a paper pushing job where I'm not in charge." Which I get, and those jobs exist, but it needs to be more like "I have years of experience with a lender that does small business loans so I'm qualified for this job at the SBA" and not "ohhh, this person had a Big Job so they are smart, so let's just put them here."[/quote]
