I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Two things stand out,

1. Burbuja had some fantastic input on resume presentation, I basically went in there and dropped a tabbed and bound booklet that included the resume itself, A past 12 months "highlights and accomplishments" page, a great recommendation letter that I termed "service recovery", there was a writing sample from a policy I've been working on, and then I ended with a one page Goals and Objectives sheet.....they were floored by the presentation! I'm so glad I posted this thread and Burbuja was kind enough to share some ideas with me. Home-run!

2. I wore the sport coat into both interviews and kinda made a joke about how that was the culture at other places but not really here...I then took it off and we got down to business. Glad I wore it and I think the way I discarded the jacket lightened the mood and set a great tone for the meeting.

I'll let you guys know how it turns out...thanks for everything!



Awww thank you!! It sounds like you ROCKED it!!! Can't wait to hear how it goes Smile Merry Christmas

Ah! I'm late to the party! You had a lot going for you walking into it, and sounds like you did great at the interview, so I'll wish you some late luck. When will they make a decision?

The waiting must be killing you Rebel. I know there are several of us who can't wait to hear how things go.

It would be awful if they made you (and us Smile) wait until after the holidays for the decision.

Well, still waiting. There was an additional candidate (internal) who claims to have applied yet they never received his online application. So this guy pitches a fit about the unfairness of it all, HR says "interview him" so that happens next week.

So still waiting...... Smile

You have probably already thought of this, but I will mention it just in case. Have you checked usajobs.gov for federal government jobs in emergency management?

I was offered the job, posted a new thread on it.

Thanks everyone, excellent advice all around. Special shout out and thank you to my pal and fellow COSC alum Burbuja, it wouldn't have gone as well without your help!
