[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.
I meant to ask in my initial posting, which agencies are or are not hiring, if people feel comfortable saying the name?
Thanks.[/quote]

OP, you have to go by USAJOBS, so I don't see the point of your question.  [/quote]

I do go by usajobs. But in not sure if any or many of those postings are real. It takes a good ten twenty hours or so to complete most applications.[/quote]

There is really no way of knowing which ones will end up hiring someone. The agencies themselves don't know as the budget environment is constantly shifting. If they are posting a job, they WANT to hire someone but circumstances may prevent it. My agency is talking about posting a job and I'm shocked because we are in a serious budget crunch. But we have had attrition and are short staffed. I'm not sure if it will really happen.

If you are spending 10-20 hours on each posting you are spending way too much time. Put together a standard resume and cover letter and then spend a little time customizing them for each posting. I never timed myself but even the most time consuming ones couldn't have taken more than an hour or two. [/quote]

Huh? Which government attorney ey jobs did you apply for?? Most require far more tha a resume and cover letter. Despite opm's claim of "resume and do cover letters!", most still have multiple questions that require writing essays describing your skills and abilities.[/quote]
