Waiting to hear the word if they accepted me. I did an interview for a management level Federal job located in Alexandria, VA. They let me know that they want me just have to get the Human Resource PPL to verify my credentials and officially notify me. Wage starts at $80,000.00/yr.
I my be there intime for the Gold Cup. Any WN members in Virginia? Don't know to much about the US since I only lived there 3yrs befor joining the Army then moving to Europe.
I am so excited acquiring this job goes against all odds. I retired as an SGT/E5 without any degree. most PPL in that situation only make it so far eg..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_ScheduleFederal system levels
GS 01- 07 Entry level (this is normally how far SGT reach)
GS 08-09 Starting senior level (lucky if you get there I am a GS 09)
GS 10-12 Mid Level (to move from 10 to 11 must spend one year in the lower grade)
GS 13-15 Top Level (same one year in lower grade rule applies the job I may get is a 13)
As you may see on the link I could have jumped from a GS09 to an 11 position but not a 4 grade jump. (Thank GOD he did it for me)
So you see why I am sooooo excited
As you can see I am making a very big jump. Almost unheard of in the civilian sector. My wife and I are looking to buy a house in Virginia in the Winchester area.
