Any federal employees here?
I’m one and my job may be gone. I am at a wait and see. It’s extremely uncomfortable and making me physically sick. The thought of losing my home possibly car etc. I don’t have a 3 to 6 month emergency stash. I am a single middle aged female likely competing with everyone else who’s without a job.

Record yourself answering questions in order to get invited to interview with a real person?
Am I the only one who thinks this is sketchy? I applied online to a small company (they exist-I've done my research). The next day I received a request to answer a few questions while recording myself via video. I have concerns about data and privacy and I have no…

Apply to yourself everything you enjoy about it and pay no mind to the things that are bothering you.
Once you break the cycle of negative feedback in your mind, you can create a positive environment in your surroundings.
Let the good things happen.

Ghosting is Real
I am bothering a recruiter who has ghosted me so many times I cannot remember all of them. Maybe one of these times something will work out.
We were supposed to speak tomorrow at 10am, now it is 1030. We shall see!…

Hi everyone!
I saw someone post a Google document for all the different types of positions!
It made me think to leave a doc that I am in, too, which is all remote positions that are updated every month!…

It’s been since I was here. I’m hoping you are still employed or you took one of the incentives to retire early.

In this day of uncertainty, what is certain is that people are still going to college, or trade schools. Many jobs reside in state run universities and state jobs in general. Not sure if that is of interest, but as a federal worker, you understand organizations that are run by governments. This could actually help you understand state government jobs and how we work. Take a look there and see if something in your area is of interest. Focus all that good energy you have on finding a new safer spot to work. Right now, I know people in your boat and quite frankly federal jobs in this climate are scary to me. Stay strong, update your resume, seek work in other places that provide a bit of a safety net.

Good morning, my resume is ready for private sector. I’m looking at state jobs in MD and PA.
I also unsubscribed from Fed forums my blood pressure is high ? and it was never high in my life until now.

Private sector and state jobs are not the same. State agencies, universities and public colleges/universities are state run. Private sector jobs are considered corporate jobs. Which is fine of course. But for now, working for the federal government isn't all that safe IMHO.
