Former GS and contractor here - what pathway are you applying under? The trick is to be able to apply under one of the preferences that will give you an advantage i.e military spouse, displaced federal employee, veteran. Otherwise, you have to apply for a position that’s open to the public and you are at the very bottom of that pool. It doesn’t matter how qualified you are if the next person is just as qualified AND has a preference above yours. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is

Hi thanks for the reply, I am applying for GS5 for regulatory assistant at the army corps of engineers in Los Angeles

I’m on my third fed agency. The first two were part of DoD and i dont really care for it. If you have been in private sector a long time it may be a shocking change to see how feds handle things in comparison.

uplifting

Thank you I appreciate it

What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
