Post Discussion on Applying for Government Jobs

Derrick Dortch, a career counselor and president of The Diversa Group, will be leading a discussion on applying for government and security jobs today at 11 am on the Washington Post. He always seems to give good advice, so if for some reason, you want to work for Uncle Sam, check it out.
Of course, from my own experience, the whole process of obtaining a federal job is totally convoluted and inefficient. How can you keep someone on hold for months and expect them to still be interested in the job? Fortunately (for them), I was blissfuly enjoying my life as a boomerang child, living it up at home with Mommy and Daddy in a city much better than DC and really did not care if and when I was going to be gainfully employed. I had applied for several jobs at this agency only, and all of my interviews came at the same time, and then, as fate would have it, I was hired. For reasons only God knows about, I was led to accept the position and have been living through the trials and tribulations ever since!
But, YOU, go on and apply for your federal job!
Oh, because I love him so for his optimism and good nature, also check out the Federal Diary Live today at noon.
