They offer family health insurance at rates that are unheard of as well as free life insurance, dental options, pension, 401K, vision coverage and the vacation and sick days are very generous. I would get 13 days of vacation my first year AND 13 days of sick time plus 10 paid holidays. That's 36 days! The second year I would get 19 days of vacation and 13 days of sick time plus 10 paid holidays. No wonder everyone loves working for the governement. The problem is no one leaves so that is why it is so hard to get in this place.<BR/>One of the guys on the interview panel was my neighbor and he emailed me lastnight and said I did a wonderful job with the interview and that I should be proud. He said some of my answers blew him away ecspecially my closing statement. So I am still hopeful! Will let you all know when I hear something! ? This job would mean a great deal to our family...security, longevity, benefits. It would be wonderful to not have to pay darn near a house payments worth of health insurance premiums each month and that is for very poor coverage.

Of course now the "sit and wait" game starts. I asked them how soon they would be making a decision and they laughed and said "this is the federal government, maybe within 3 weeks or so".....keep in mind I applied for this job 6 months ago....enough said (haha)<BR/>So I will wait patiently and see what happens and if nothing comes from this at least I am working!<BR/>I have worked for the private sector my entire life and I know working for the government is a whole new world. Would be so exciting working for the Air Traffic Control Center, not to mention the benefits! <BR/>Gotta run...will keep you posted, thanks for all the crossed finers, toes and eyes.....Farmington JoKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24277692.post-12790962647857207612008-09-23T09:39:00.000-07:002008-09-23T09:39:00.000-07:00Wishing you the best of luck!HeatherWishing you the best of luck!<BR/>HeatherKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24277692.post-51879523145745070822008-09-23T08:49:00.000-07:002008-09-23T08:49:00.000-07:00good luck Jody!!Jennygood luck Jody!!<BR/>JennyKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24277692.post-83940370450781983772008-09-23T08:32:00.000-07:002008-09-23T08:32:00.000-07:00good luck.
