I was browsing government jobs and came across this gem.....

http://jobview.usajobs.gov/GetJob.aspx? ... %3a34%3a00


BTW, am I missing something or does the US Government seem to think that there are PhDs lying on every corner (or does GS-11 mean something other than that)? [:D]

Gs-11 refers to pay scale not education requirements.

That post doesn't require any formal schooling.

In the USA there is a push to use very strong words in job postings and resumes. It resembles the post on unix as with all the external applicants it has become common to claim "experience" in anything you have seen or someone else on a project did.... Being honest handicapps you (but I and some others do it anyway). I have a rule of thumb that if you are not significantly more attractive in an interview when you answer my specific questions than you are on paper then it is probably a lie.

It is great to see the look in peoples eyes during interviews when you ask specifically what they did on a project not what the project accomplished...

Then I dont understand why they would require that a GS-11 or private sector equivalent be a minimum requirement for applying. Maybe the coffee hasnt kicked in yet. [>:]

G'day, Mike.  How are you doing in NC?  Blissfully perfect weather continuing there, is it?  [:'(]

[USSAmerica]

I have a busy few days ahead of me.  Leaving in a couple hours for Maryland and my Poppy's funeral.  Tomorrow afternoon I'll leave directly from the cemetery, drive home to pick up Alex and switch bags, and immediately drive down to Wilmington for his hockey league championship tournament.  We're staying at a hotel right on the beach. [8D]

I'll probably get a chance to check in from time to time, but in case I don't, have a great weekend, Brothers. [8D]

Hey CB, it's actually only going up to 53 today, but quite sunny. [:'(]

[Grollub]

Realized earlier today that I'm out of books to read.

Just ordered Shattered Sword, MacIntyres Operation Mincemeat and O'Haras Struggle for the Middle Sea to rectify the problem. [:)]

[anarchyintheuk]

Read the first two. Both are great.

[Grollub]

... and while I'm waiting for delivery, I'll fall back on a re-reading of this;

"Oh freddled gruntbuggly" ... [;)]

I've heard nothing but great reviews on those two, so yes, that's why I ordered them. Third is an unknown but looks promising.

Hey, UNP. [8D]

[anarchyintheuk]

Better book than a tv series.

"Vogon poetry is the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent, of his poem, Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning, four of his audience members died of internal hemorrhaging, and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council, survived by gnawing one of his own legs off... The very worst poetry in the universe died along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex... in the destruction of the planet Earth."

... it would've been intresting to know if there is/was any story behind that name (Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings) [:'(]
