Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:05 AM Author: Awkward magical parlor WTF. USAJobs = flame.
I'm a current fed and even I can't get an interview. |
Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:07 AM Author: lascivious shimmering address preventive strike USAJobs is flame.
Hiring managers already have the person they want in mind, and specifically word the requirements so that only that person is eligible. |
 |
Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:09 AM Author: Awkward magical parlor and yet a lot of the positions I applied to had very generic requirements (i.e. experience in interpreting federal law). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2609573&forum_id=2#25863500) |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:10 AM Author: lascivious shimmering address preventive strike fair enough, I'm sure there are many legit postings on USAJobs, but I've seen enough federal hiring in my day to know that this is SOP for a lot of positions. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2609573&forum_id=2#25863512) |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:13 AM Author: Awkward magical parlor oh, I think they're still not legit even with generic descriptions. I keep getting NOR letters stating the agency decided not to hire off the BQ list. WTF is the point of the BQ list if you can just disregard it.

Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:13 AM Author: Effete Alcoholic Pozpig bro why do you want to be an atty with the feds anyways?
are you applying for 13 or 14 positions?
once I left law for my 14 I never fucking looked back. |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:15 AM Author: Awkward magical parlor My current position (GS13) is mind numbingly boring. With that said, I work from home 3 days a week.
what position re you in now? policy? management? |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:22 AM Author: Effete Alcoholic Pozpig management/policy, yep. I also work from home (like right now) a lot.
It's a pretty decent gig; I'm getting supervisory experience and besides days like today where I'll be working trying to get something out the door to hit a deadline, usually the day before a holiday i'm chilling.
my job is pretty interesting but can get dull at times. but I don't give a shit. It's a job--it pays for my life outside of work. |

|
Date: July 3rd, 2014 11:35 AM Author: Effete Alcoholic Pozpig I won't move to suburbs until I have kids.
and then it'll be to a md suburb/va suburb where prices are a little more decent. also, i'll likely never live in anything bigger than a townhouse. I prefer to travel instead of owning a big ass house I can't appreciate. |

Date: July 6th, 2014 4:25 AM Author: alcoholic half-breed lol I don't even know where to begin in this thread:
Broken4T: what the hell are you doing? you can't move from a 301 to a 905 and you know that; how the hell did you get your job in the first place? PMF? Never heard of a quasi-legal flyover USAJOBS gig.
The GS-14 guy: how the hell did you get that job?
That said, LOL at the idea of a 30-something with probably a JD living with roommates bragging about how he lives it up. But I will concede saving the $$$ must be nice.
I know a 32 year old who worked their way up from 11 to 14 finally, but now they're saying it may never get any better and GS-15 is a pipe dream. I wouldn't mind it if I were 40 and could max out and get the pension, but with cuts I doubt the pension will be much in a few decades

Date: July 6th, 2014 8:24 PM Author: Effete Alcoholic Pozpig i know very few people in their 30's who aren't married that don't have roomies AND live in nice parts of DC. i know a few but like i said above i like saving money and being able to spend money on a whim while out in dc or just leave town for travel and not have to worry about the money.
i love having roomies. one's a girl and the other s a dude. the girl has cute friends over all the time who are instantly fair game.
