Trying to get a Government Job

wow.. that judgmental are we?

Yes I am with respect to Buster. It easy to blame others and outside factors for your personal failings in attaining a job. Having three degrees means nothing if they aren't of quality or suited for the job you're applying for.

I have learned work experience trumps education every day in most employer's eyes.

One of the worst things you can do right after you graduate college is go for your masters, you will have no better job afterward (at least to start), you will have missed out on two years of potential work experience and $$$, plus you will be farther in debit with loans (assuming you have to finance our education like most).

Alright, got my can opener ready.

I work with mostly minorities and I'm fine with it, I like my coworkers and their skin color has no bearing on how I feel about them.

But the govt does try to hire minority and female candidates if possible, there is policy for it. Working for the state of VA I witnessed it, go into any DMV, public transportation center, etc and it's easy to observe, the fed is no different. There is usually a higher precedence on contractor selection based on minority and female ownership and in some localities is the law that they must take their bids if presented.

I agree with Chris Rock in general on things like that when he made the joke about getting into college. If someone's more qualified for the job they should get it regardless of skin color. If it's a tie though, give it to the minority.

I'm not going to make this thread about Buster, just saying it feels like a pattern with him

While they were working on me, some Mexicans were cursing and yelling in Spanish about waiting.

It it was a Muslim who did this (it usually is), they're probably mad about some Mohammed jokes on a cartoon. As we saw with the rioting and murders all over Europe a few years ago, a simple comic strip can send millions of them them into riots and killing sprees.

Another time, some Hispanic lowlife bashed my car window in and stole the stereo along with all of the controls for heating and AC (during 100 degree weather in August).

Speak a foreign language? Describe wine in a sentence? Recite a poem? Create a playlist of ten songs that say a message to someone?

What homo wrote some of these?

I'm sorry, he's probably European

Many MBA programs (at least when I went) don't even let you apply unless you've worked for a few years after college first

Experience trumps education in most cases but three degrees from tier-4 schools aren't going to help you compete against someone with the same experience and a degree from UVA.

You need to drive right past DC / Northern Va and head down to gods country in Suffolk Va. Its about 30min from Va. Beach shore line. Plenty of goverment jobs here with all the bases around here. I can drive 5 minutes one way and be driving through corm fields, drive 15 minutes the other way and be in downtown Norfolk, drive another 15min. and be at the beach.

LOL. Sorry about that. I think someone else mentioned it but often working for a company that contracts work with the government can be a great foot in the door.

Or you could be like my buddy who started his own company, some IT security company of some sort, got some small government contracts, ultimately got a contract with the Department of Defense, sold his company for some $100+ million dollars and retired at 40

Thats all because he took the risk of opening up his own business. Does he still hang around with you. LOL I have a friend who struck it rich and you would never know he had a penny unless you saw his home, cars, boat, etc...

That does sound appealing and I had heard good things about Va. Beach though being away from the area for so long I wasn't exactly sure about what the surrounding towns were and if they were any good. The thing is though that I want to live on that Virginia, Maryland, DC boarder as part of the reason I want to move back is that I have a lot of family in Silver Spring, Ashton, and Baltimore.

And with the way things are looking now my parents might be settling in Virginia themselves. My only regret is that I have to brothers in North Carolina but the good thing about Virginia is that it's close enough to drive.

Plus above all I want to be able to see Oriole, Ravens, Capital, and Wizard games. Based on what I've heard about Redskin games at FedEx I'm better off watching them at home.
