Info sec is almost entirely covered by vets in the DC area. At my agencies when I was a fed and anecdotally from hiring manager friends at other agencies, vets block out non-vet applicants via vets preference for the overwhelming majority of info sec positions.

Everything on the questionnaire has a correct answer, even if it seems ambiguous. As in if you say that you've done a task independently but the answer was leading a team in the task, that's a point off. So you have to figure out what's appropriate for the level and document it word for word on your CV.

*I haven't done it successfully either but that's what I've been told.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
