Okay, so it's not as though I finally landed a full-time gig with benefits. But I do have good news! It's an update to one of the jobs I applied for before I started this blog. (What, you thought that I had only applied to 169 jobs?!) I made it to the next round for the position of HR specialist with the Forest Service.
If you have any experience with government jobs, it's not easy to get one -- I'm not a vet, I'm not the spouse of a vet, I'm not former Peace Corps, I'm not disabled, and I'm not a displaced person. I have zero preference. So for me, just making the first cut is huge. It's still a long way to go to actually working for the Forest Service, but it's an important step. And for someone like myself who gets rejection letters and emails on a daily basis, this is a very welcome piece of good news -- and I like it! Here's to hoping!
