FDIC

I’m a recent college grad and looking for a job. I’m currently a bartender but I’m looking for more of an office setting. I was talking to a customer and she suggested working with her at the FDIC. I think this is a perfect job for me and the thought of working there has actually turned into a dream job! I’m just wondering if anyone can give me input on a few things.

1.) it seems this hiring process is extremely long, can someone give me guidance on the process itself and a timeframe I’m looking at?

2.) is there a job in particular that I can do that could possibly boost my résumé while I wait for a response? (I was thinking of getting a full time bank teller job in the meantime but it might conflict with my bartending hours resulting in less income for me. I work mornings and make great money doing it and would prefer it to stay that way)
