Yes I have. And no...I didn’t get it.
But I think applying for that job laid the groundwork for me getting the job I currently have. In other words...had I not applied for the reach job...I don’t believe I would have the job I have now.

Have you ever applied to a job / internship that seemed far out reach?

They wouldn’t pay for you to fly out and interview?

I had to do it for my federal interview. I paid flight, room, rental car.

i got to interview with the CIA before I backed out. Does that count?

"backed out", right. we know you just can't tell us you got the job. instead you work for "Department of the Interior"

Coincidentally, a future manager had worked for the CIA for a few years.
