jfreaksho Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I applied for a government job a while back, one that really meshes well with my skills and abilities. It's really competitive though, with thousands of applicants for each open position, and they've already eliminated probably 90% or more. I did one of the final interviews yesterday, and I feel like I did pretty well at it. I should learn in the next couple of weeks if they are interested in giving me an offer. I'm not super excited about my performance, but I think it was pretty solid- a few mistakes, a few things I should have talked about but didn't, etc. It's over now and I'm not stressed about it, so cross your fingers for me. 3 Quote Searching the world for a cure for my wanderlust.

jfreaksho Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Just to update: I got rejected, but I'm pretty okay with it. I'm a bit relieved, actually. I've been straddling the fence on two separate career path options for a couple of years now, and I can finally mostly focus on one. I have two or three more opportunities possible in the first field if they come up soon, but the competition and pressure for those are significantly lower. If I don't get notified of further action on those soon I'm going to finish my master's in cybersecurity and get a non-government job where I can actually make some money. 2 Quote Searching the world for a cure for my wanderlust.

Vilegrin Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Way to keep your head up. Best of luck going forward!

Maybe it will be much better, I don't know. Quote Searching the world for a cure for my wanderlust. Link to comment
