I have been a fed for over 7 years. I recently applied for a position and was not selected. I would like to see what are my potential options to request a reconsideration. The position is a grade 15 and would have been a promotion from my current grade. I believe I am more than qualified for that role. All my performance appraisals have been at the top of the range and I have received an average of 2 awards per year for my contributions. The new role is [b]something I have been doing for a very long time[/b] in my fed job as well as before in the private industry.

I realize that sometimes positions are 'wired' for a particular individual and it seems this might be the case for this one. The person selected already works for the selecting official. I've know that person for a while and has many good qualities but the [b]experience is limited to a specific area and does not have the breath or depth of experience I can provide[/b].

bottom line, OP- You're not that great.  Get over yourself.[/quote]

Sounds like the selected candidate, while might not have as much specialized experience as you do, is younger and has more POTENTIALS at GS 15 level than you do.  The system works. Get over it.
