    BOR Police @ Hoover Dam

    Looks like these guys are hiring again--for ONE vacancy.

    http://jobsearch.usajobs.opm.gov/get...=0&SUBMIT1.y=0

    Anyone got the low down on this dept.? I would literally kill (well, maybe not literally ;) ) to work & live in the Vegas metro area. I've read good things about it on 911jobforums.com. I actually applied to them last year & received a strange & confusing "no thanks" letter. It was a standard "thanks but no thanks" letter but it had some kind of list w/ some other guys' names on them with a highlighted name that, I guess, was eventually hired. That's the only way I can describe it. So from the letter, it appears I was on the final cutoff list but was not selected. Strange too because I didn't even interview! :rolleyes:

    Tunlrat, thanks for the post about the job. I think I'll apply because people have been calling me a "damn cop" for years! :D

    :D

    I saw a Very Stupid Guy taken into custody by these cops. This was just a few months after 9/11, there were checkpoints a few miles away from each entrance where they asked questions and gave a stern lecture... and this mouthbreather STOPPED HIS CAR and got out IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAM. They had a hell of a time getting him to move into a parking lot, where I hope he, his wife, and daughter enjoyed the quality time they spent with our federal employees.

    Do you really want to be a dam cop? I would think that there would be too many dam questions from the public. Then those dam employees would would have alot of dam problems you'd have to deal with. I don't know if the dam paycheck would be worth it but, put in a dam application and aleast see if you hear from the dam guys.

    :D

    ??????Oh,I just got the dam jokes. Caffeine's wearing off.

    Valycop:
    Good luck to you. You'll have one less competitor to worry since I'm not applying this time around. Decided to save some trees instead...

    Does the dam cop get to do the dam tours and answer the dam questions?

    Or is that the dam guide? :D

    That's okay tunlrat it's Friday night/Saturday morning and the coffee is wearing off me too. ;) I'd better go make some more of that dam lousey coffee because it's going to be a dam long night. Wonder how the dam coffee is at the Hoover dam?

    Dam I amaze myself sometimes.

    Do they issue you all the dam equipment you'll need or does it come out of your coffers?

    You'll need something to plug along the dam.
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine
