After applying to a job for a federal agency and going through all the steps for the hiring process which included testing, multiple interviews, polygraph, background and medical screening. And passing everything I got a swift kick to the balls the other day when they told me no. Not much of a reason just I wasn't the strongest applicant. The whole process took over a year and thankfully I was working but now I have reached the promotion potential of my current job and I need to move on. There's just not a lot of room for advancement where I am currently and I don't like the work.

I'm currently in the GS system and I'd like to stay just not in this hamster wheel I have been in. I have 5 years law enforcement as a deputy sheriff, my BS and my MS in CJ, and I've been here for a little over a year. I work for one of the alphabet agencies now, but I am looking to go elsewhere. All my work here has been computer related but I am a basic user, I am by far not an IT guy. I've applied all over usajobs but as my one buddy put it "That's like driving down the interstate at night and throwing your resume out the window".

If anyone has any openings, suggestions, tips, tricks or anything I'd love to hear them.
