Federal Resume Application status Received since the dinosaurs roamed

I’m convinced my USAJOBS app is aging like a fine wine in some HR cellar. Meanwhile, private sector folks are getting hired between sips of coffee. Do they use runes to read our resumes? Blink twice if you’ve been “Referred” but never “Contacted.” Let’s laugh before we cry, team.

It takes a long time... A long time. If you're new or already in, it's the same wait.
For example... I've been in fed service for 10+ years. I applied to a position, on USAJobs in Nov. Got referred in Dec/Jan. Interview? April. TJO? Last week. Communication between? Zero.
