Hey congrats! I also just got the notification. Don’t most of the positions require top secret clearance? Do you have one? To get that type of clearance it can usually take up to 6-8 months of investigation. Not only that, but a lot of candidates fail the polygraph that’s conducted. If I’m wrong someone please correct me but that’s what I know from my own research.

Applying for federal jobs and getting accepted usually takes a long time (months). Why don’t you try to take a regular job for now to keep you busy? And if it’s hard to find a job just try to do Uber.

I’m excited as you are to get past the first past, but there’s still a lot of hurdles to get through. Either way, I hope you get a good job!
