[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I’m a former contractor, not technically a fed. But I’ve spent five years working for two different contractors. One small, one big, and I was laid off a few months ago. I have been very politically neutral in my interviews but I’m finding sometimes hiring managers (not the HR rep in the screening) judge my ability to work in the private sector. I try to specify that at my last position [b]I was expected to work over 40 hours a week if needed,[/b] but I think people think I’m lazy or not driven. Have other Feds/contractors dealt with this? How have you preemptively shown you’re willing to go above and beyond? I don’t live in the DC area for reference.[/quote] Private salaries workers are exempt there is no concept of hours clocked, you work as long as there is work and then innovate. [/quote] I work for a fortune 100 company and this is just BS. [/quote]
