plug couldnt trust you now u cant trust the plug
Act confident, learn how to answer some of those behavioral and hypothetical questions. I guess you don't really need to be a "cultural fit", quiet dudes do well in tech.

If you work for the government you don't have to compete with Indian/Nigerian/Chinese immigrants.
Also the federal government is the largest employer of black people.

You have to play the game you’re stuck in till you have enough power to create your own game
For my business I use young cacs to interface with clients and tell them what to do and say from the shadows/background. Way more contracts are won that way.
We genetically engineered the golems in our image to be our workers/builders anyway
In summary do what you have to do to reach your goals without sacrificing your morals

You don't have to code switch or do any of that goofy shyt. More than likely your cousin isn't as good as he says he is. I just got my cousin a gig as a ETL Developer a few months ago and she's only been fukking with tech for real for a few months.
If I had to guess he has a trash resume, basic technical skills, and a poor communicator.

Depending on where in the fed he wants to work, he'll need to have various certifications and possibly need to get clearance. And if he doesn't have the skillset to work in corporate America, he probably doesn't have the skillset to work for the government since they're using similar technology.

Yup. Not all cases but people hire folks they feel they can relate to.
From my experience, you don’t have to be the best worker. Most companies want to see that you’re a “cultural fit” . That you fit in. “Hey guys! How are you?!” They can train you on the hard skills but soft skills are a different story.
What’s the coli’s take?

Be the best in your field. A lot of great talented ppl apply for those jobs, and the best companies have multiple ppl to choose from

leave coli-ness at the interview door 
Like another breh said govt tech contractor is the way to go, there's too many layoffs and hiring freezes taking place in private sector tech and of course brehs will be the first to be fired, last to be hired. The DOD can't outsource these jobs so no bytchass FOB Indians and ESPECIALLY no Chinese (except the American ones, and even then they are hesitant) and with too many boomer cacs retiring and not enough replacements, there are thousands of unfilled positions from the top to the bottom. Be a US Citizen, have a secret/TS clearance, and pass Security+.

Can you give a little more details? Do he currently have a job in tech or has he been unemployed for years in tech? Is he trying to get a tech job similar to his current role or a entirely differently role? For example moving from a programmer role to a network role might be difficult?
There could be numerous variables beside code switching. If he is trying to move into a leadership role (manager or above) then that might be difficult if you have no leadership experience than if you try to work in a non-leadership role. If he is trying to work for 1 of the FAANG companies (facebook, amazon, apple, netflix, google) that is more difficult than trying to work for a company in the health care industry, education, contractor, etc.
If he is just trying to get a job similar to his current role but at a higher salary, is he at the top pay grade in his current field?
There could be a lot of reasons. That is why a little more details could help.
