Its honestly just plain luck if you are hired without knowing someone or going to church with them. There is no specific criteria regardless of qualifications, i worked in a departament that promoted people with less education and experience. It still makes no sense. If you are an intelectual individual that asks questions and has innovative ideas then you will most likely not be a good fit. They like yes people who follow blindly. And ethics? May as well throw those out the window, if you are not the type that can look away don't apply. It makes you physically sick if you are an ethical person with a moral compass.
That's my problem exactly! I understand why military staff are hired first. They don't ask questions and it's a yes sir no sir type of thing. People like me ask questions and have a brain that can think on its own. I really don't fit in.
apply keep applying and be open minded to ALL federal agencies that do policy. it takes about 4-6 years and go
to the workshops on federal
resumes helps a to
Having never worked in a federal job, it seems that your circumstances matter quite a bit, like where you've worked previously, your family situation, demographics, geography, etc. The recruitment process is designed to take longer than in the private sector, where in many cases employers know immediately if the company will hire you.
Nothing wrong in trying. You'll never know unless you take the risk. And funny are those people who are gatekeeping something taht could've helped others.
Don't even try to apply for a government job if you've ever been arrested or convicted. Folks without prior arrests or convictions have a hard enough time breaking in.
Not clear on your question, if you're interested in federal employment, they key is to apply for positions that you already possess experience in, and submit a resume that has been proofed by at least 2 people.
Check out this YouTuber's videos on federal hiring paths. It may be of some help to you. Also, come to terms that veterans will always have precedence over you if you are a non-vet. That's what the public wanted and their lawmakers voted that into law. BUT...there are special hiring authorities for non-vets and temporary hiring authorities that will allow you to get your foot in the door. Google those terms as well.
Also, don't listen to these haters that want to poo poo on government or military workers. Just like any job, there are good and bad employees. Don't be dissuaded by their naive opinions.
Here's the link to the YouTube video I mentioned: https://youtu.be/DM1cxP1QMP0?si=cywR0E8FTg3ZhBnX
Best of luck to you
