I applied to a general pool for a local GS-11 job. I got an interview, talked to the people and they liked my skills and qualifications. They offered to hire me as an 11 and promote me to GS-12 since I was already a GS-11. I told them I'd love to work for them, as they were already taking care of me and I didn't even work for them yet!
This job doesnt require military membership like my current job, which would allow me to retire from the national guard in 1 year and continue govmint employment.
Well, I thought it was all set after I talked to their HRO. But, I got a call later today saying there could be a problem since they advertised the job incorrectly (open to all Govmint workers, not open to competitive Govment workers only). Since I am am classified as excepted service, I may not be eligible.
What a bummer. It's not over yet, but I don't have a good feeling. I'm having a very hard time breaking into competitive service, I think because I don't have a veterans preference. Even after 22 years in the national guard I am not classified as a veteran.
I just wanted to rant a bit heh. Thanks for listening.
