"Yes" to both questions.  I found my current job at
http://www.usajobs.gov and really I lucked out getting it for many
reasons.  Not to scare you, but I went about 26 months without a job
after I graduated law school in May 2005.  Now, we were ok because my
wife was working, but I was out of school loan deferments and we'd had
our daughter in December 2006.  Being "ok" wasn't going to last much
longer.

Then some random day in late June I got a phone call from the head of
the office asking if I was still looking for a job and he offered it
to me right then, no interview.  It was like God knew it was time to
ease off on the 46-year-old fatboy because I know I was hurting myself
when I interviewed.  Then when I started working, I soon found that
there was no better job for my personality and background, at least no
better job that doesn't exist in a fantasy world where I play video
games and read comic books for a living, but I digress.

Apply and see what happens.  I will say that there might be a long
time between applying and being contacted.  When I received the phone
call I didn't remember applying, but I was applying for so much that
everything blurred together.

I wish you luck and you find something sooner than later.
