Easy way is to join the military or become a military spouse.

Next best way is to make connections with current employees of fed agencies where you want to work.

Hard way:
You have to filter for "open to the public"
Then you have to meet all the qualifications and explain in excruciating detail how you clearly meet all the qualifications such that a nigger can understand how. Take the "Core / Key Competencies" from the announcement and write them in all caps in each of your job experience duties' sections, then write a bullshit paragraph how you did that competency in that job.

I have been a federal employee since 2012 in 4 different fed jobs, and have applied for nearly 3000 jobs on USAJOBS. I got referred to maybe 15, got 6 interviews over the last 8 years. All of this AS A CURRENT FEDERAL EMPLOYEE. It truly is fugged.
>How did you get through the gauntlet
My first job was at a military base gym for $7 / hr.

my nigger. I remember you from when I posted about this many months ago. You gave me some protips. I've gotten some referrals on some cyber-sec roles because of you. still waiting though. I'm a vet with gibbs preference so it's slightly easier. I just started a contract IT job at the agency I want to work at but with COVID i'm not sure how easy it will be for me to brown nose to get a permanent job, this one is just temp.

Wow congrats, you've been hussling. Brown nosing is definitely a priority especially if you can get exposure to the selecting official. Other than the first job, all my positions I got by knowing someone at the new agency. Gov IT is definitely peak cozy. You don't do any of the work, just identify the problems and contract out the solutions. If you come in as a prior contractor then you'll definitely have the "skills" needed to fill the fed role.
