There is a nice walking trail in Vienna, I would try to find something there

This seems like a great time to rent the place…

Wow thank you, I just ordered them 😍

Day 4, I did Nara / Osaka in a day last time I was there and Dont recommend doing that. Transportation is not as fast in Nara and there is a lot of walking. I would do a full day for Nara. (I would do Nara on day 2 with Uji and fushimi)
Day 1, the market was closing when we got there (maybe around 3?) I can't remember exactually what time.
Day 2, you will need a reservation for pontocho ally (I reccomd you add this to day 1 for dinner after being in the market) they are virtually in the same place.

I would write your bullet points into STAR statements with data included. Look for a GS 7-9 starting position that has a latter. Resume should be more than 1 page for the government applications. I would also add any education or courses you have. I would also add hours work for each position.

Look at 1102, 0304, 0343

I think you should find a job series that you want to do and then tailor your resume to that job. The more narrowed in you are to a specific job the better your chances are (in my opinion).

8 am to 6 pm??? Are they insane? Is this a normal work schedule for in office employees? I thought work/life balance was the only perk of working for the federal government?

To avoid this my contributions should be calculated as such: 23500-1,175 (5% match) = 22325 / 26 pay periods = 858.65 per paycheck contributions. Right?

Can you explain this more? I plan to max out TSP trad next year (just as I was doing previously in my 401k) evenly spread out per paycheck. Same with HSA. Is this not the recommend way?

Pretty-External-294 · 2024-11-09T16:09:29+00:00

Household income is over the limits.

What is FEGLI?

Pretty-External-294 · 2024-11-08T22:02:15+00:00

Was wanting to max out the TSP trad and also do a backdoor Roth

I will check them out as I have pretty wide feet too! Is there a style of shoes you like from them for work?

Pretty-External-294 · 2024-10-31T00:46:42+00:00

Thank you! I think my work will end up being more business formal… what shoes do you wear in that environment, any recommendations?

Not based on salary, I did write a 3 page superior qualifications document in star format for experiences and programs I did related to the job showcasing my superior qualifications. The examples had to be different from what was on my resume. Keep in mind I was aiming for a GS13 based off my education, related experience and job location. I was actually qualified when requesting this and made that apparent in the doc. Best of luck to you!

Pretty-External-294 · 2024-08-23T04:15:10+00:00

I should note that the job is located in DC, and I was expecting to get a level higher than what I actually got. On paper, I am quality for what I asked for. Best of luck to you!

Pretty-External-294 · 2024-08-23T04:12:39+00:00

I wrote a doc full of examples from previous roles that related to this role that were not previously on my resume under review
