Database - hijacked to gov't salary discussion

What GS level are you getting Keith?

only 3. 4 is associate, which ill have next year if i come back.

Normal employees start out at what, 7 I believe?

Ah depends, I was offered GS-5 step 3 obviously coming in with a bachelor's

experience plus bachelor's should put you at a 7, but they'll try and give you a gs-5, they're stingy with their GS standings

with two years of college you should be up to a GS-4 and after grad you should get a gs-5 or 7

I started after 1 year of college at an internship with the DoS as a GS-3. I was then a GS-4, and they told me they could probably find me something at a GS-7, but they're hard to obtain, most likely they'll give you a GS-5 and you'll have to work your way up, but it usually doesn't take that long. I hear 4 GS levels in a couple years is possible with good work.



oh btw, i have an access 2002 book if you want to use it, you can get the a lot of info online anyway. I'm pretty familiar with MS Access and general database design. I used oracle 8, but the concept of all db's are one in the same. If you have an questions you can ask me i'll try my best to answer them. Most of us (mm-er's) that are in the IT field could possibly help you out as well. Just post up any problems in "technical discussion" i guess, lol. I've used it before for electronic technical questions.
