[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 52 years old and recently became a Fed GS-14 step 5 without any Fed experience. I applied for over 100 Fed jobs without a single interview and it was depressing. I ran into a former college classmate who is a CIO of a federal agency and I got hired three months after the background check. It would be almost impossible for me to get hired without the help of my CIO friend. That being said, I took an early buyout from my previous job with 12 months paid in salary and vetted stock options to join the fed. The key is to know someone on the inside.[/quote] This is the truth the majority of the time. That's how I got mine. Not at the GS 14 level though. I will say this, if you can swing a paycut, you can take whatever to get your foot in the door. If you are good, you can ping pong your way up in grades fairly quickly, especially with ladder positions. One year in grade and you are able to apply to jobs at the next grade level.[/quote]
