Where did you look for jobs?
- karatestomp 7y agoThe USA Jobs site for them, IIRC. Someone posted it in an HN Who's Hiring once so I checked it out, got pretty excited, got a little bummed about the application process and how long it takes but the directions were very clear and I've got a guy who's basically a government bureaucracy expert to read over my stuff for me so I was resigned to dealing with that crap.. but then I realized that it's all (current postings, upcoming postings, the ones the poster had claimed were revolving evergreen posts even if they weren't marked as open) defined-term rather than regular, actual employee, and then got very unexcited. Not worth the effort if there's a hard expiration date on it, or even the specter of such, when the retirement, healthcare, and stability parts are much of the appeal. Plus what if I finally get to work on something I'm actually kinda proud of, then have to leave? No. Not putting in unusual effort for that.
