-10 point vet
-Masters
-Previous high level security clearance
Besides those three things I might describe myself as rather vanilla. Perhaps there is just a specific thing they are digging for? I know the announcement said to highlight autonomy and amount of supervision in each position, so I really focused on that in my resume bullets.
Having been in the Air Force, though, I can tell you that PERFECTLY following instructions was probably a factor. Not using a period or comma on the same fashion they did in their sample could have done it, for all we know."The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary."

Don't you know? Entry level these days means 5-10 years experience in a senior leadership role."The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary."

As we were told during our interview, they really looked at the whole person to see if they would be a fit. There was one person who was right out of college that could speak a difficult language, someone who was currently an enlisted agent trying to transfer to civ, many (most.. 90%) with masters degrees and a little bit of work experience but nothing major, then someone who was an FBI agent who wanted to work for a smaller agency.

Pretty sure the answer to this is no, but does anyone know if OSI will bring you in at a higher step to try and match previous salary (like USPIS used to do)?
