[over the mountain]

awesome you landed a fed govt job .... i am so jealous. I spent a good year filling out apps for approx 30 openings and while i always cleared the first screening of being a qualified candidate i never got any closer .... i think it was bc i had no prior fed govt position and the positions i was applying for were level 12 and up which i am guessing only go to ppl with prior fed govt experience ....

i always figured you needed to start out as a janitor for a fed building or be former military to get a fed govt job.
