Dear moderators and friends,
Please tell me what you know about Civil Service examination :?:
I just paid $325 to the Government Careers Network for preparation myself to pass exam. But it looks I just make a big mistake , that company just stole my last money... My friends told me it is a very hard to pass the exam, I would never pass it, just because I am Russian and don't have enough knowlede to pass the test, it is much more seriously than they told me and they promised me to get job very soon and easy.
I've been looking for job forever but I HAVE A DEGREE (!) but who cares )-:
Please tell me, is it really all so bad?
Look forward for some answer, spasibo.

Dear Me,

Don't let your friends decide what you can and cannot do. There is no such thing as being unable to pass an exam "just because you are Russian" -- this is just a lame excuse that people use to make themselves feel better about their own failures. If you have taken sample exams, I gather you know what you are getting into.

Мне тоже когда-то предлагали эту "подготовку", но я, к счастью, понял что это, литературно выражаясь, туфта... :D

Я сдавал Civil Service сам, там ничего сложного -- выбери правильный ответ.

Если ты русский, т.е. гражданин России и не гражданин США, то плакали твои денежки... :cry: Обычно на те должности берут только граждан США.

Но даже если ты и Американец, но без армейского опыта, то в этом случае, чтобы тебя приняли, нужно сдать тест на 96% - 98%, что теоретически возможно... :roll:

Армейцу проще: за военный опыт + 10%, за армию без военного опыта + 5% 8)

Я набрал 89% -- и не прошёл... :(
А вот если бы воевал в Ираке, то 89% + 10% = 99%... И теперь уже наверно бы ЦРУшил :D

дожно быть не такой уж сложный тест... я не думаю, что все кто идёт в civil service такие крутые интелектуалы, патаму что, на сколько я знаю, у врачей, адвокатов и инженеров пассин скор ниже...
