It can happen for you…
I began applying in the late fall, and after several referrals, I finally received two offers. I start on Monday, and I’m very excited. I’m sharing this to encourage you all to keep trying because, with perseverance, anything is possible.
P.S. I just received an automated email from USAJobs today stating I was not selected for a position, despite starting on Monday. This shows that the system isn’t always accurate with its status updates.
