You might do good on LinkedIN. I will say this my cuzzo had your background, I was in my late 20s, he was early 30s taking that test. Ifyou don't have any other options then go for it.

Well I don't know you personally or your personality. I will say it might work if you are somebody who may not have a career or nt sure what you want to do. My cousin was working dead end job after dead end job and got this opportunity.. If you want to make 6 figures and are willing to live in a not so great city for a few years it might work. They put you in a smaller city starting out then when you get a little seniority after a few years you can transfer to another city. They options of cities are based on need and openings but more seniority, then you get first pick. My cousin could've moved to Miami, Richmond VA, Houston, Memphis and chose St Louis

Make you a profile on USAjobs.gov that is where they list all of their hiring bids. They have two different hiring bids one is for previous experience like the military the other is for off the street applicants. If you get an offer letter on the off the street bid they send you to their schoolhouse in OKC for like 2 months where you learn how to do the job. They pay you at the school house and give you money for room and board you just have to hit the books and study because it is hard.
