    usajobs.gov is the official posting site for federal government jobs. The link above is to some kind of commercial site trying to charge for what is freely available.

      The link I posted is the site used by many state and local governments for job postings. It acts as a hub for hundreds of agencies in the country. Essentially everything non federal that has not seen quality applicants for generations.

      I applied to like 80 jobs on usajobs.gov. didn’t get a single call back…for about 6 months. I had a job by that point.

      I got a call back from almost every single job I applied for wanting an interview. Not joking. I got about 10 calls a week for around 2 months or so…like fucking hell guys, you could a called half a fucking year ago. Nobody can wait that long to be unemployed.

        It is definitely a ‘lifestyle choice’ to hire on with the feds. Yes, everyone, be warned that Federal hiring is slow AF! I am trying to get on after losing a contract so my strategy is basically to find another job so I can job while I job!

        It seems worth it for the job security and long term retirement benefits, but dang!
