[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, without knowing much about what you do or science I’m wondering if you just want to start applying for jobs. People do get jobs from applications without connections. If you see an interesting position, see who you might know at the agency or company. Are all of your colleagues at risk? If not, may want to confide in the ones that aren’t and see who they know. Talk to your neighbors and friends - they may be lawyers but they have friends and family who might have ideas. Also, are you sure you are in the chopping block? Do you want to wait and see if you do get chopped and whether it comes with severance or early retirement? I say this as a fellow Fed who is worried about what’s coming although I am not in what would seem to be a high risk area unless they just start indiscriminately firing all federal employees. Are you at fda or nih? Are there jobs elsewhere in your agency or another agency that would be less in the cross hairs? [/quote]
