Considering the fact that a government shutdown is always possible and that unless the government is going to collapse, you’ll get back-pay once it starts up again.. why are you posting this and not just looking for a job the usual way without qualifying yourself as a victim of the shutdown?
I have sympathy for those affected by the shutdown, especially those living paycheck to paycheck, but I also feel that it is irrelevant when looking for a job.
- phaus 8y agoIt's possible for them not to get back pay, even though so far they always get paid. It's worth noting, however, that government contractors sometimes don't get back pay after being furloughed due to a government shutdown. I agree, however, that it's a bad idea to bring up one's personal financial problems when looking for a job. I think there's a greater chance than not that employers likely to respond will try to take advantage of OP's desperation.
