Is that a serious statement? Do you think one just asks for or applies for a government job and just gets it? 🤦

I'll attempt to school you a bit:

  1. Most of us have gone through the hiring process for government positions only to get denied for the position...Many times over...For years. Mind you, these are government positions where we would do the same exact job we have been doing as contractors for years.
  2. Many government agencies only hire from the outside at post college entry level, say a GS-10/11. If you're working at the level of a GS-13, it's very difficult financially in the DC Metro area to downgrade that far (35%+).

Please try and be more kind and empathetic to people, especially when you have no knowledge of their circumstances.

Okay? Your really poor attitude has shown nothing but a lack of knowledge on both how contracting works and government hiring works.

Excuse me? I told you my story. Not all of us get in, even after going through the process countless times. My attitude has been very forthcoming and polite whereas yours has been downright repulsive. Have a Merry Christmas knowing you've got a guaranteed paycheck 👍

Whelp, glad I don't work for you with how you treat strangers over the internet who have been in your shoes. Oh how quick people like you forget.
