Yes, although I do believe you have to work for a year before you gain preference.

My former boss was a DEA SAC and from what she told me, half her agents started out doing either low key clerical work or janitorial work. After a year passed by, they had Federal Preference, applied for agent positions and were brought on after going through agent school in Georgia.

Do you have any tips on applying preference? I've got a Schedule A hiring exemption but I can't really figure out how to make anything out of it. Wasn't good enough to get me a DoS intern gig, at any rate :smith:

How big of an advantage do ex-military/veterans have in competing for government jobs, if any? Do they have something like competitive status? I'm not actually in the military, but its something I'm seriously considering doing after I get out of college.

Veteran's preference, a big leg up on KSA's and stuff (I guess this depends on what you do in the military and what you're applying for in the government, but there's a lot of potential there), and often a security clearance. The level of clearance will depend on what you do in the military; a grunt might only have a Secret or something, but other ratings (intel, working on/with classified tech, etc) would come with a higher clearance like a TS or TS/SCI.

It's a huge advantage, in short. I was looking into the AF a few weeks ago but the hiring prospects for non-rated officers looked pretty grim, they're downsizing atm.

You have to have a skillset they really, really want. It costs a ton of money to get, especially for a TS clearance, and it can take a long time. If a company offers you a job with the opportunity to get clearance, loving take it, regardless of any other factor. I know that in IT, if you have a TS clearance you can pretty much get a job anywhere, instantly, and get paid a huge amount for it. I can't think of a single piece of paper that will improve your job prospects more. Seriously, if I was still in IT, I would work for free if the company sponsored me for a TS clearance, it's that valuable.

Of course, the company paying for your clearance knows that, so they have to be very confident that you will stay for the long haul, as they know that they will have to pay you much more and they will have very little negotiating leverage after you get your clearance. Oh, and they also run the risk of eating the cost if the government doesn't clear you, and they have to employ you on non-classified projects until you are cleared.

If you're still in school, internships are a great way to get a free clearance without starting a full-blown career with the government. The DIA has one (I could have sworn it was at least a TS, but on their site all I could find was "full clearance"), State will get you a Secret, and I imagine the others do as well.

I'm pretty sure it's seamless to you. There's some work on the back-end, but you shouldn't have to redo the investigation.

I could have sworn a couple people (on SA) have said they did have to get them redone, although it's easier with the SF-86 all filled out already. It doesn't make sense to me, but then again, the government.

I am in the process of being cleared for a State Department internship this coming fall but I have already had my interim security clearance denied. Has anyone had their interim denied for Secret clearance only to go on and eventually get the regular clearance approved?

Yeah, had the same thing happen. It was approved a couple weeks later (but I never got to go on the internship, was just an alternate).

It's possible I am wrong, or this varies by agency, but I thought a BA/BS only qualified you for GS-5, realistically? Whereas if you had personal experience on top of that, you'd qualify for GS-7/GS-9?

I do know the intel agencies play it up a bit to retain the positions/compete with private sectors, but wow, it'd be cool if I qualified for a GS-9/GS-11 :P

Some job postings offer GS-7 (I think) for "superior academic performance" and let that substitute for some of the experience/grad school.

Probably listening since it is an oral exam over a telephone.

That actually makes much more sense. I thought it was 3/3 as in 3 out of 3 levels. Thought it was odd that they would use two separate scales for the test. Well if that is the case I just might have a fighting chance.

Yeah, a 3/3 is pretty decent, but by no means fluent.

Let us know how it goes, provided there isn't an NDA attached to the test. I'm curious if there's a separate listening section, or if they're just going by your responses how well you understood the examiner.

Also, when they ask about mp3/video piracy, they only care about mp3/video piracy done on government computers, and NOT what you do from home. They're pretty clear about this in the written stuff, but sometimes gloss this over during oral interviews.

Are they really? From what I saw it sounded like any :files: was a tick against you, which is mostly why I quit altogether a while ago* (interviewer never asked me about it, IIRC). For something like the FBI, it could definitely create a problem/conflict with your job.

Is there mandatory retirement for fed jobs? From what I've read, a lot of boomers are clinging to their jobs, either out of financial necessity (getting wiped out when the economy tanked) or just not wanting to retire.

I can't speak for other agencies, but as far as I know, knowing somebody in HR at the IRS doesn't help you in any way, other than maybe you get a heads up when something is about to post, so you can get a jump on applying for it, or maybe they double check to make sure all your forms are in order for your application. The actual decision process as to who gets the job is all very systematic and point-based on specific criteria, and being friends with somebody never enters into it.

Edit: Jobs above the GS level have an extensive interview process and usually (again as far as I know) the decision process comes down to a panel of people, usually supervisors and your potential immediate boss. I suppose at that point knowing somebody might give you an edge.

Having Non-Competitive eligibility means that you can apply for internal jobs that people WITHOUT NCE can't even apply for, and I think it gets you ahead of anyone off the street for jobs that they can apply for. (Though i'm not 100% sure on that last one)

The way it's been explained to me, a federal employer can create a position for you without having to advertise it to the general public, and you don't count towards their hiring quota. I know that you can use it for applying for those internal jobs as well, but it seems outside applicants (without relevant experience in the private sector, I guess) wouldn't generally be qualified for those jobs anyways :-\

Here is a related question.

It is for a contractor in an overseas embassy. I was in the process for an immigration assistant position, but apparently I did so appallingly bad that I scored a 1/5 on the ILR.( I can only attribute this to being nervous as all hell, I could barely think.) But they want to continue my employment as a custodian at the embassy (which strangely makes 100 more than the immigration assistant).

So my question is this, should I do it anyway? ~~Would whatever clearance they would issue a janitor be worth working as a janitor overseas?~~ I guess once I get re-accustomed to using the language everyday as I used to, I would be able to show them that I actually know the language.

Edit: Apparently it is a TS clearance. I think I should soldier on.
Edit 2: Basically the salary is pretty much the same as the previous job I was hoping to get, a few thousand over over the host country's average PPP, with tax exemption and free housing and utilities.

Anyone have an opinion?

I do, those phone language tests are kinda bogus wrt your actual language ability :colbert:

I can still see why they do them though; face-to-face interviews or anything more comprehensive would be prohibitively expensive.

Could you give me some more info about your process applying for those jobs? I'm going to be doing something similar and would be really interested to hear more about your experiences. You should be able to e-mail me through the link in my SA profile.

Small clearance related question:

I was just offered a job for a defence contractor, that would require Secret clearance. I looked over the application form and I won't have a problem with any of it, but I did use pot like 4-5 times back in college (over 3 years ago).

My hiring contact basically said the check is "Credit check, felony check, you're clear", but is there any chance that'll jeopardize the investigation?

I've talked with FBI folks who have said 'yeah, we know kids do pot in college, that's fine', but my hiring contact basically told me everything short of "just lie and don't put anything". That seems unwise if I ever want TS and the polygraph required there.

I'm just hesitant to jump ship from an existing job to this one if there's even a chance the I won't get clearance (and would be subsequently fired).

Your hiring contact is technically correct (a Secret is no great shakes), but in the long term it is horrible advice and you should seriously take anything they tell you with a huge grain of salt. If you go for a higher clearance later it will probably come out one way or another that you were smoking the reefer in college, and didn't report that on your original SF-86. You can kiss your clearance/job goodbye in that case.

Really want to underscore how lying about something so banal for a Secret (when the hiring agency has told you its no big deal, no less) is awful, terrible advice.

Don't see an e-mail. Besides don't I have your AIM name, from the DC goon meet thread?

So whats the opinion, is the job I do for the clearance more important, or the clearance?

Also just checked, apparently it is a two year contract. Even if it is for a TS I am debating whether I could stand being a janitor for two years. Or perhaps I should be thinking more in terms of language practice, experience, and the TS rather than what I would be doing for money.

Weird, I have it selected as being able to be contacted by email, but I don't see the link when I look at my own profile. I don't use AIM anymore regardless, my email is [redacted].

At this point I'd do unmentionable things for a decent-ish paying janitor job overseas with a TS thrown in, just sayin' :v:

It even eliminated my resume. Every single thing was gone except for the questionnaire.

I wonder if this is why the CEP had us e-mail everything and said not to upload any documents to ApplicationManager.

Under a noncompetitive hiring authority you can be appointed directly into the job without competing against others on a cert if you are qualified for the position. Under a competitive hiring authority, you must compete with the other applicants. If you qualify for both authorities, you should apply for both.

How do they figure the quota of non-competitive hires versus competitive? Would they take every eligible non-competitive before they started looking at competitive applications? OTOH, going through that questionnaire I was beginning to feel a bit inadequate at parts. I almost wish there were essay questions, so I could say "No, but here's why I think that I could...".

It was pretty straight forward. Mostly about your experiences like "Do you have working experience on projects taking upwards of six months" or "Have you ever led a team on a short term project" and other stuff.

I was going to put it off until the weekend, until my boss came and dumped a whole heap of bullshit on me today at work this morning. Came right home, fixed myself lunch, and plowed straight through the whole questionnaire, e-mailed the HR lady a few more questions I had, then started on another job application.

There is no quota for non-competitive hires, it's just an alternative list that the hiring manager can hire someone from. I was recently on a hiring team and we got to choose from candidates on a merit promotion list, Schedule A (non-competitive), and a public list. We hired for four positions, but there was no requirement that a certain number be taken from any one list. We called in one individual who was eligible under Schedule A because she looked to be a good candidate. She ended up bombing the interview. We didn't call anyone else who was eligible under Schedule A because they weren't particularly compelling. The other Schedule A candidates were only minimally-qualified for the position.

I should point out that you're not limited to applying for, or being considered under various hiring authorities. Several applicants were on both the merit promotion list and the public list. You're best off applying under as many hiring authorities as you are qualified for.

Thanks for explaining that, makes perfect sense.
