    I applied to like 80 jobs on usajobs.gov. didn’t get a single call back…for about 6 months. I had a job by that point.

    I got a call back from almost every single job I applied for wanting an interview. Not joking. I got about 10 calls a week for around 2 months or so…like fucking hell guys, you could a called half a fucking year ago. Nobody can wait that long to be unemployed.

      It is definitely a ‘lifestyle choice’ to hire on with the feds. Yes, everyone, be warned that Federal hiring is slow AF! I am trying to get on after losing a contract so my strategy is basically to find another job so I can job while I job!

      It seems worth it for the job security and long term retirement benefits, but dang!
