I would really like to be able to apply for this position but I don't meet the GS-13 requirement I bet. If they called me tomorrow to do this job for $76K a year I would do it (assuming moving expenses were paid for). The thing that gets me was I when I desperate for work everyone told me to apply for a government job (army, navy, etc.) but it was always experience, experience, experience and a connection. I got experience now but without a connection I know applying is pointless. I even tried to get an army job with a connection once but they turned me down because I didn't have experience. I'm more interested in the benefits than the salary at this particular point in my life.
