I'm gaining more leadership and qualifications and responsibility since my last grade increase, but I'm interested in excelling. I was having this discussion with a friend yesterday and was wondering if anyone else has aspirations of Branch Chief or SES? If so, what are you doing to try to achieve it?
I'd love advice and/or feedback.
Thanks in advance!

I would like to find a find a government job that would allow me to keep climbing the ladder. I would love nothing more than to excel to the level where I get a leadership position that allows me to travel. I've been taking online classes on our intranet that pertain to the positions that interest me.

Shaun, I've found that at the Bureau of Land Management. Other Dept of the Interior agencies have those things as well. I had no scientific skills, but BLM welcomed me with open arms. And 2.5 years in I'm already competing for jobs as a Field Manager and District Manager. I love the work and the people. As far as traveling, I get to do a lot of that regionally.

I'm currently with Treasury OIG and am working toward certifications. CFE is my first goal. Then eventually graduate school for an MBA or JD as I not only have a desire to be SES one day, but either hold a Presidential appointed position or run for office. I would however, consider going back to Indiana and running for Mayor, Governor, etc. where my connections run the deepest. I'm always pushing on doors to see when the next one opens and leaving the rest in God's hands to show me His path for me.
