Is it really that difficult to get hired for a federal job? I was interviewed for a GS12 job but never heard back, they still didn’t hire anyone and I didn’t get a rejection. I applied for another GS07 job, was accepted, I took it, but I believe I can do better. I have a master’s and have extra graduate research experience. I am still applying to new jobs but I was told it is impossible to move up the grade level now. Everyone is telling me to stick with the government. What are your thoughts?

There is no incorrect answer or opinion but I want to gauge what people truly think of LinkedIn. Do you see it as a positive or negative? Especially when looking for a new position? I’ve heard both sides. Do you like that potential employers and colleagues can “size you up” to your competition?

Does any feel like they suppress their own positive thoughts? Like there’s a very positive development in my life that I am happy about but every time I think of how great it is, there’s a voice that tells me to stop and curb my excitement- for the fear that I will somehow jinx it or that something bad may happen. I can’t just be happy without it being accompanied by worry that I might lose something in return. Can anyone relate?

After two months of interviews, I got an email from the company asking to set up a call with HR manager and Director.

How can I prepare to negotiate numbers and what other ways can I make the call as productive as possible if it’s an offer discussion?

After an interview, the interviewer said, ‘the offer is on the table, but we need to decide which level you come in as’. What does that mean? Is it a verbal offer? I still have 1 more round left with the head of the dept so I’m confused lol
