I applied for a part time cashier's job at Shenandoah National Park 3 1/2 weeks ago. You know how long it would take Walmart or Target to fill a position like that, right
Well, that's not the Federal Government.
Yesterday this was in the Washington Post.

Ironically I had just requested some information about the status of my application before I read the article. This was the reply.
The rating process normally takes 4-5 weeks from the closing date to
complete. However, due to the large number of applications received for
this position is may be an additional week. Once the rating process has
been completed you will receive a letter in the mail regarding your
qualification status and whether or not your application was referred to
the selecting official.
That means that interviews won't even START for six weeks after posting for a part time job that requires a high school education and can be performed by trained rats.
Obviously, I won't still be in Luray when they finally make their decision.
