Got a job, thx techexams!

I have been trying to move up in the gov for about a year and have put in about 30 applications. I thought my resume was wonderful, but after some soul searching i swallowed my pride and looked for help. I posted it here and looked for advice and immediately it was dissected and recommendations were made by people on this forum.

So long story short i followed all of the recommendations by folks here on the site and put in for about 5 jobs with a new resume. BAM got an interview within two weeks and did well on the interview......and got the job.

I want to really thank this site for all of the wonderful info for literally anyone to use to succeed. Although the criticism can be harsh, i did not receive on bit of info that was not helpful.

BTW the hiring official complimented my resume after the interview ;)

    Congrats! What kind of a job is it?
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
