My new roomate works for the gov, and her department is hiring, so I freshened up my resume and put in an application (They have 6 permanent positions available from the 3rd to the 10th).

I got my app in on the 4th so almost right away.

Only prob is there are a bunch of people in the department already who are hired temporarily that are applying for a perm position, so all the jobs may go to them.

I am way over qualified as well, but hopefully that is a good thing (only an AA is required for this position for instance and I have a BA in the field required and a Masters in Education).

Would rock to get it as it's 3 minutes from my house, pays about $50k a year *not a ton but way better then I'm making now) and I already know/am friends with 2 people working there.

That should help as well if I actually get to the stage where they read my resume or have me in for an interview.

I think Jen works for the gov, but applying for these jobs is new to me, and seems much different then civilian jobs (application is done through a gov website etc).

Turns out a huge # of jobs in this area are Gov Jobs since it's the state capital. Nice thing is most of the positions are permanent/not going anywhere, so I can sink my teeth into them and not worry about having to find something else later. I may go into administration etc for education as well (Since my masters directly applies there), although I have WAY more experience in management/business then education (biggest drawback for those positions as I meet the education req for jobs that pay over 100k a year, but not the exp requirement.

I think some of it may be who you know as well for these positions, so it might help that I know people already working in this department.

Wasn't what I planned on doing at this point, but it would be low stress, stable, and local, which is perfect.

Man I just got a tentative offer from the federal government and I'm nervous as shit.

I'm in the background check phase and they've asked me for a start date but I feel like anything could happen even though my record is clean and omg

All that to say, best of luck with your endeavor!

I wouldn't mind working for the government myself, that way I could destroy it from within. #Swansoning
