[quote=Anonymous][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] The civil service system was set up exactly to prevent this from happening. Your friend should be ashamed.[/quote] No, they’ve made the hiring process so complicated to comply with the civil service rules that it’s impossible to get in without knowing someone.[/quote]
