They offered me the position without ever having to come in for a face-to-face interview. I had only submitted my application back on the 19th of last month, got a call on the 17th of this month to set up a phone interview which we did on the 19th. Offer came today and NEVER got the chance to do the face-to-face interview. Now, which entity is capable of moving at such a breakneck speed you say? Only your very own United States Government! Indeed! Downside is it's a pretty low starting scale - but it beats zero. IT position, mostly generalized knowledge but requiring some mainframe experience and a particular focus on JAVA programming (which I have zero of - yet).

From what I have heard, Java can be difficult to learn through self study if you don't have programming experience. If you do, it doesn't seem to be that bad. Are you moving or is the job local? By the way congrats
