It helps because you know the inner workings of the federal government. But if someone has better credentials than you, it won't do you all that much good.dodint wrote:Do you think already having a federal career helps at all for selection?
I work in InfoSec for a DoD agency and plan to apply to various three-letter agency Honors programs when the time comes. I was looking at the listing for NSA and they took the time to mention Cybersecurity as an area of law they're focusing on. I'm already a CISSP working as a GS employee.
Coming from a TTT I'm looking for ways to distinguish myself. I'm a 1L so I still have time to craft my externships as well.
Obviously I'm not in the 16-17 application cycle but as long as you're fielding questions...
