a lot, probably at least an hour.

I tried applying for two different federal jobs today. I failed at both after an extremely frustrating hour.

I have to go to class to become qualified and that class is currently full and I am waitlisted. I am trying to work some shenanigans to get into the class before the new work schedule takes place. Not sure if I will be successful.

TGIF for me.

That sucks, good luck with getting into the class.

As for me, the interview I had three weeks ago proved fruitless as I was rejected for that position this evening. Back to the drawing board. :rolleyes:

Thanks.

I've sent out two emails, one to the instructor and one to my GM, and neither have answered me.

I have plan B and C ready but ....

If the higher-up's at SFO knew what an asset you are, you'd get your pick of shifts. Personally, if it's something you'd want to do, I think you should be the one teaching phone/counter/gate agents how to do their jobs correctly. Reports of shenannigans would dissappear overnight and the knowledge level & work ethic at CO would increase dramatically.

1. I said it would take an hour, never said you would be successful.

2. That's the tri-delt motto, no reasonable offer refused.
