Dear Wayne, although I am not a federal employee I have watched federal hiring practices and seen ads like this before that have nothing to do with "fair-haired boys" or girls. What they have everything to do with is getting people on board before drastic budget cuts occur so that you don't automatically lose funding by having money sitting around for an unfilled position. cheers, g2
