CIP Codes Warning

[Ares]

This doesn't matter for federal civilian jobs; I can't speak for DoD jobs. HR specialists will look at the degree name and courses. [...] To be honest, this shouldn't have been pinned because it's making people freak out for no reason. I've had four jobs with the federal government, several more job offers, many interviews, and many more referrals.

You cannot make such a sweeping generalized claim based on your anecdotal experience. So you have checked the job requirements and have gone through the application process for all 2.8 million U.S. federal jobs? I don't think so.

Just the fact that TESU is misleading with it's degree titles vs. their corresponding CIP codes is alarming in of itself and that alone deserves for this to be pinned. Once this is more well known it could be used by any employer do disqualify a candidate based on them lacking relevant qualifications.

...I've put in over 500 job applications in many different fields. I've been referred for scientist, law enforcement, emergency management, security, human resources, social services, legal, analyst, cybersecurity, and tax positions. You need to meet the education and/or experience requirement to get a referral. [...]

Has anyone else here had four different jobs in the federal government. How many of you have even interviewed for several jobs with the federal government?

You do know what the definition of "anecdotal" is?
