because (in the US at least), a lot of the interesting work is actually done by consulting firms. Many of the federal agencies contract out implementation of projects / services to consulting firms. In international development, for example, if you want to do anything other than write RFPs all day, you would go with a consulting firm or NGO, rather than going to USAID.

I wouldn't be too worried about having a general skill set - that's what being a consultant is about, particularly at more junior levels. As you rise up, you're expected to either build a reputation as a technical expert or a rolodex of clients, but at the beginning, they're looking for smart, motivated people. Narrow technical skills are less important.

Also dancing ability - they asked you to submit a video, right?

that would be consistent with the last couple of years - hopefully they'll get decisions out sooner, but I expect to see something around the end of next week as well.

I didn't think anyone cared about AW scores - either way, at this point, there's no use worrying about it, since it's out of your hands at this point
