[quote=Anonymous]Even though there is a civil service hiring freeze, the DoD budget overall is not being cut. The many local DoD sites are being forced to hire contractors because they cannot hire civil service right now.

DC's advantage is that he is looking for an entry-level salary not a salary for someone with 20 years experience.

There is a small trick to applying. Write a cover letter (paper and USPS, not email) and include  a resume. In the cover letter, write that you are willing to consider either government or contractor positions. Also say that you are flexible about what you will work on. The government can give your resume to their contractor if they are interested in your skill set.

In the resume, be certain to explicitly say "US Citizen" if you are. They cannot legally ask sometimes, but they only can hire US citizens. If you do not say this, they likely will not act on your letter.

Local options include at least Naval Surface Warfare Centers ar Carderock or Indian Head, DISA at Ft Meade, NSA at Ft Meade, ARL at Ft Belvoir, NGA at Ft Belvoir north site, and Naval Sea systems command in DC. [/quote]
