Midwest US. Federal employee. I currently work operations. 11 year as a mechanic 2 years in operations and now I just keep track of the guys doing my former job. 4 days a week, 10 hour shifts $31.61/hour
usajobs.gov - There are jobs open to the public and jobs that require military service as well
All kinds of jobs in all kinds of fields. Unions as well
Agreed. But what's the fastest time toy have had for a response? For me it's been measurable in quarters, not months or weeks. Usually about 3, but sometimes 5 or 6.
I used to work for the state of IL and remember I applied on their website, then didn’t hear back for a civil service exam for 6 months! I thought I was outright rejected up until they reached back out a half a year later hahaha
Unfortunately, that's the norm from my experience as well. I think it depends on location/department. I put in for jobs in South Dakota in my field and I had an interview within 2 weeks of the job closing.
Hell, applying for NATO is even worse. I think the shortest I've waited for them is 8 months
