      Any recommendations to look at? My brother used to work for a government contractor doing UX and made good money? Is there a job board for government contracting? I did quick search and didn’t find an obvious one…

        Where do you live / what kind of gov’t work is around you?

        I know quite a few contracting companies, but outside of some of the big ones, I’d need to know where you are trying to work. I am in the DC/NoVa area. There are TONS of contracting companies here. From the larger ones like CACI, CGI Federal, Raytheon, Booz Allen, Deloitte, etc to literally thousands of mid/small size companies.

        As far as a good “job board”, I dont really know of one other than fedbizops which I think is sam.gov now. Search for contracts that have been recently awarded near you related to IT and you’ll see which companies won. Those contractors are usually HURTING to bring on people ASAP. They’d probably hire on the spot if you can pass a background check.

          Thanks for the tips! I’ll most definitely look newly awarded federal contracts then look for opportunities there.
