Once you get in to a government job, lots of other positions open up for you. There are lots of positions that don't get advertised to the general public and are filled from within. Goverment employees changes jobs / departments all the time.


Try this...

if you get past the interviews and the tests (the gov't just loves to test the hell out of applicants... even if you are already working for them), you're gold and set for life. Good pay, good hours, good benefits. My wife started at about $38,000 per year and by the end of June (when her next pay increase becomes effective, she will be making $47,000 per year).

except for the freeze on contracts that means we only get a MAX of 1.5% instead of 2.3% like was agreed upon.
