I was wondering for those that work for a federal agency or did so in the past, how many did you apply to before you were offered a job?

Believe it or not, this is the one and only LE job I applied to.... at any level. I applied, pretty much, on a whim. Just lucky, I guess.

I applied to three. Offered one ( I turned it down; yes I was an idiot), one is still in process, the other they scraped the eligiable list when they changed too many conditions from the origional announcement.

Some federal jobs are worth turning down. My first pick to decline would be Air Marshall.

That agency is full of broken families/marriages. It's no wonder.

Apply to as many as you want, it can't hurt. I applied with 5 agencies, or at least I filed the intro paperwork with them. I made it through the whole process with 3, and turned down a few and finally took the best one -- though it took over 2 years to get the offer from the day I applied!!
