To those applying for federal jobs:
Make sure that when you fill out applications online that you are careful
to check your application for mistakes. I just spent half an hour on the
phone trying to rectify a mistake I submitted. Because of this, I probably
won't even be considered for a job that I am qualified for. Don't mean to
scare you, but heads up when filling out online applications - once the
computer sorts you out, it is almost impossible to override it.
