[quote=Anonymous]There was a gs9/10 opening with treasury in their office of macroeconomic affairs (right up my alley) and they received over 150 apps for 1 position in the summer. The market still sucks for finance/econ.

I'm not picky about wages as much as getting a position that will give me good experience and training. I'm under 30 and have been out of work for quite some time (grad degree, couple of years of work experience).

I did get a position with the fed gov out of grad school but got rejected for a clearance (after almost a year of putting me in limbo) and after that have been out of work. I took some time off to travel for a year (i saved up a lot when i worked) but since i've been back it's been difficult to get back into the job market at really any level.

Unlike the OP, my problem is i don't have much substantive experience, but i am quite flexible when it comes to wages if the position will give me good experience/training.

One thing this experience has shown me is who my real friends are. All of my so-called 'friends' deserted me except 2.[/quote]
