content: Trust me. You're not being hired because you don't have a degree. You're not being hired because of the ridiculous bureaucratic system that is government job hiring. BS in Structural with two years experience applying to entry level jobs and I get one, maybe two call backs requesting information which I already provided for on the forms. Then nothing. Govt likes to promote internally as much as possible and make everyone outside of it hang out while the red tape fails the clear.
