Isn't this supposed to be an entry level position?
I hate USAJOBS
Lost I think you are going to find for most federal positions these days you will be competing with people that have a lot of experience. I have two Masters degrees, over 10 years LEO experience (much of that investigations), and teach criminology at several universities. I have had a hard time landing a position as a result of not being as qualified as other candidates. Vets are going to get preference also. 10 years ago I don't believe it was as competitive

Here's my frustration. I did my time in the corps, got my degree, landed a local LEO position, and I check this ****ty website everyday applying to anything that will improve my current position. I have over 200 applications in and I had only a handful full of interviews and zero offers.
Am I really that unqualified for "ENTRY LEVEL?"
If I had multiples degrees and years of Leo experience with a military background. It doesn't take and HR expert to tell you that you deserve better.

Because it isn't really an "entry level" position, its 1811 HSI, highly competitive. I know guys who are 35 with 13 years experience that applied. There really is no such thing as an entry level 1811, many people work years to get an 1811 spot.Last edited by LadyKiller; 12-13-2015, 10:03 PM.

I personally know plenty of 1811s that are younger than myself and can't possibly have the same experience as me.
I guess, I'm just hoping to fall into whatever lucky process they got.
If I ever get the experience like you describe, I would be applying to better positions.

In those cases I only fear they had done something wrong in their current department or agency and cannot move up.
With large amounts of experience in a department, I would imagine people are paying well in to their retirement plan, lots of rapport, and making a large salary already. Or in these other cases they are just moving because they can't move up where they are at.
So, for me it is difficult to answer your question because if I got to the point in a department where I was making a great wage, building my rapport in a department, promoting from within; I wouldn't need to apply to an 1811 GS7. Because I would be in what I thought was a better position.

If you are young (under 30) you will still have a chance. Most highly intelligent people move on, as they are driven away by a system that seems both retarded, and insane, yet promotes incompetents due to appearance. Hang in there!

Hell, even the military is competitive right now. You are competing with half the local university graduates for an officer slot because nobody can find jobs.
A few things come to mind, and one might stir the pot a bit but so be it. 1) it is likely there will be some pretty big hiring in about 5 or so years since all of the fed leo's hired after 9/11 will be looking at retirement and 2) Donald Trump is proposing to triple the amount of ICE Agents which I believe includes HSI which would create an insane hiring spree and would unclog a lot of 1811 openings outside of ICE.Last edited by Culper1773; 12-13-2015, 10:51 PM.
