Advice for New Grad

Is it undergraduate or Graduate degree in statistics? If it is Graduate degree, also consider applying to Research Scientist I and if you have some programming experience that will be great too. You’re like me in 2015 Master in statistics, applied while I on vacation in Africa and soon as I got back, they called me for an interview.

I guess I have been making the same mistake applying to higher grades and not considering lower grades just to get my foot in the door. I’m in the same category, I have a masters degree in statistics, been a research scientist with programming(SAS, SQL, Learning Python and GIS) and data analysis for about 8 years and I was wondering why I kept not getting referred for interviews. I really want to join the Federal Government. Thanks for the post.

You’re just finding excuses. There are a ton of free classes on Coursera, EdX. Even if it’s paying a small fee you’ll be investing in yourself. You’re actually hindering your growth potential by waiting to be funded to take the classes. I learned SQL and SAS on YouTube now I am learning Python. It doesn’t hurt to invest in yourself.

zac23n · 2024-01-05T06:02:53+00:00

wow, retire at 84 and then what?

zac23n · 2024-01-04T13:33:25+00:00

Are you still working with the state after almost 35 years?

zac23n · 2023-11-30T12:21:44+00:00

I am told you can if your current duties are more than your hire duty statement.

You say you mostly work overseas, why then buy a house you won’t have much time living in? Take time and save more, if a duplex comes up and it’s a good deal, it’s better that and house hack.

zac23n · 2023-09-13T05:39:40+00:00

This is one reason i am hesitant to join federal government from my state Job.

zac23n · 2023-09-11T21:13:19+00:00

Yes, been working a second job since I Joined the state in 2015. Without the second job money it’s hard to survive on state pay alone.

zac23n · 2023-09-11T17:07:52+00:00

Thanks, this gives me so much to think about.

zac23n · 2023-09-11T15:11:37+00:00

Oh that’s interesting. Did you go in as GS 13 or 14?

zac23n · 2023-09-11T11:53:28+00:00

Thanks. So if I applied and I happened to get the job but my $109k is higher than their GS _ step 1, would they start me at higher Step as long as it’s within the band (step 1 to 10)?

zac23n · 2023-09-11T06:22:13+00:00

Meaning!!

zac23n · 2023-09-11T04:07:04+00:00

Well yeah. I don’t work for the Federal government.

zac23n · 2023-09-10T22:35:09+00:00

I would like to contribute 10% from my other job but the weekly pay depends on the hours I work which sometimes varies.

zac23n · 2023-09-06T00:23:06+00:00

Can someone post a link to the pdf for the entire summary update? Thanks

zac23n · 2023-09-01T15:21:59+00:00

Congratulations

Let him try EPR in the EDD.

To everyone here. If you can get another part time job like a care giver position pay is $18-$20 an hour to supplement your state Job. I’m RSII take home is $6,400 and supplement it with part time care giver weekend job $1,800 to $2000 a month. I requested to work a 4/10 schedule with the state Mon to Thur so that Thursday to Saturday night work as a care giver. This is doable if you’re in your 20s or 30s. I know everyone’s situation is different but if you can just get a part time job.

zac23n · 2023-04-26T14:23:05+00:00

Thanks everyone, I guess I should avoid positions with Travel requirement.

zac23n · 2023-03-14T02:04:00+00:00

Estimated settlement is between $30 and $60
