Right now there is 6 DOD postings. Two airguard tech spots, so you have to enlist airguard. Four others.
usajobs.gov every day. i agree that there should be quite a few in the next few months if they hire people to replace all of us. there are two of us at my facility who have applied and are still in the running. if they offer me the right place my spot will be open.
The dod has always been a feeder for the faa. That's where ssr came from. I'm about to share the secret to getting a DOD job. I've had 2, one of them for 12 yrs. It goes like this.
1. get referred. Sounds simple? It's not always. Resumes are scanned for key words. Each branch of service uses different acronyms for the same or similar sh!t. Taylor your resume for each announcement even plagiarize the damned announcement to get through the bean counters and get it to the guy doing the selecting.
2. Know somebody. - fair or not the hiring is still done by sups and atms. You don't know anybody? See #3.
3. Get to know somebody. Put a face with your resume. Get in your car or book a flight and schedule a tour. Go see the boss.
4. The boss wants people who won't bail for the faa. Tell them you want to be there. You grew up near by. You love stankville usa Army town more than anywhere else on earth.
You could also send videos of yourself sucking a golf ball through a garden hose.
