Unexpected phone call

[soonerwings]

A few weeks ago, I went to USAJobs.gov (since I'm now officially separated from Active Duty) and submitted a resume to the FBI, never expecting any type of response. It's one of those "dreams" that I figured wouldn't actually ever happen but that's kind of like the lottery in the fact that you can't win if you don't play. Since the price of a "ticket" in this instance was free (it only took a half hour to apply and submit a resume), I went ahead and threw my hat in the ring.

Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from a recruiter saying that I would be invited to Phase 1 testing, the first step in a long and demanding process. I've debated it over and over in my mind since then and I'm going for it. I'd hoped to settle down here in OK (since their selection rate is lower than 15% I most likely still will) but it's the freaking FBI....how cool is that?

Thoughts?

Good luck!

A buddy and former co-worker of mine went through the process to work computer forensics. It definitely took a while for the entire thing to play through, I believe they had him going for almost a year before he was officially accepted and hired on.

You can do it!

Thanks for the encouragement. If I make it through, I don't know if I'll be able to actually say anything about it, but just remember that Big Brother is always watching. Kidding (sort of).

Good luck. Usually people aren't nearly as excited as you were to recieve an unexpected phone call from the FBI
