r/usajobs is a subreddit with 198k members. The community frequently discusses job, struggling, hate, worst, and federal job, and the most common flair used is application status, discussion, timeline, tips, and specific opening.
This subreddit is for all those interested in working for the United States federal government. Since the application process itself is often nothing short of herculean and time-consuming to boot, this place is meant to serve as a talking ground to answer questions, better improve applications, and increase one's chance of being 'Referred'. This subreddit is not affiliated, sponsored, or in any way supported by the US Federal Government.
