Any members have GS jobs/ gvernment positons?
Morning folks. I just wanted to see if any members worked for the Federal government in a GS position. My wife and I have been applying for various positions that we've been able to find online. We have friends/family members try to point us in the right direction as well but we haven't been able to get as much as a call back. It's been suggested by a friend that we may not be including the right "key words" in our applications. Does anyone have ay info on this? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I've looked in to contracting jobs also. Nothing really concrete. Currently I work in customer service for a utlity company. My wife is a teacher.

very hard to get into a government job without already having a clearance. and im not sure what kind of job you could get with your background. maybe helpdesk? what kind of positions have you been applying to?

I've applied for about 1000 GS positions. Haven't gotten even a nibble after I applied. I am contracting now, so it's ok. I've already got a security clearance, but I'm waiting on my VA disability to maybe give me an extra boost.

Definitly willing to relocate. I've been applying to various entry level positions, help desk, etc. I have an associates degree in Health Care Administration. I don't believe I'd have a problem getting a clearance. Of course the issue there would be getting mine or my wife's foot in the door to a position that would require one or work up to it.
