I became seriously ill during Covid, retired at the end of COVID, got better and now find my TS/SCI has expired and never seem to count for anything as I can’t seem to even get an interview. I worked intel for over a decade, with specops and also have experience as SSO and FSO and I’m a veteran that’s “supposed” to have certain legal rights such as agencies not needing a billet to hire me (which is huge) or being added to the top of the pile etc but none of it has conveyed for me. Why? I worked my butt off for years putting my job first, everything else second and love working and love helping subordinates and coworkers and I always did a stellar job but can’t seem to get an interview?! Is this all because I never “networked?” Tia
- Thank you for your service!!!
- Where are you applying? At least 1 if not several 3 letter agencies have been in an unofficial “hiring freeze” for awhile now. Very few people are hearing back from them.
- Have you tried reaching out to your old managers/team members?
