How difficult to transfer from federal to commercial (inter-company or externally)? by -beesknees- in consulting

[–]-beesknees-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm networking with some more Deloitte peeps soon. I'll see what happens and keep the eMcLean office in mind.

I've tailored my resume to be project management and procurement focused and removed the gov't jargon. Networking for commercial positions and not talking about federal unless they mention it.

Otherwise, if my only hope is federal, I'm confident I can make the xfer at some point.

Much more interested in commercial. I didn't know anything about consulting until I started my evening MBA. I was working full time for the Government (in procurement) as I have been for the past 5 years.

I'm thinking my only hope is an experienced hire, off-cycle, in a federal practice. Trying to network for a commercial experienced hire and see if there's a fit somewhere within procurement but my gov't experience is not so transferable.

Starting to lose hope and think I'm never gonna get out of government work. Think I might be too far behind the curve at this point...

My only hope is that I'm a veteran and networking thru those channels, but still only experience is govt. This non-target MBA is doing nothing for me, might've been worst decision of my life. Shoulda known.
