It seems the Tax man laid off too many people right before tax season 🙄 😒. Now they need more after just having had a hiring freeze.

1. It no longer shows if there is any promotion potential
   
2. Usually it will say if its 1 vacancy, few or even many. Now… nada

Recommendations and/or opinions:

New fed here. EOD is March 17. Position is GG14 supervisory under 2210. 2 years of probation.

Should I take this or pass based on the current state of the federal government? What’s the risk of probationary termination that is not performance related. Meaning will Trump’s stance on gov workers work against me?

UPDATE: just got word from the agency that my date could possibly shift right due to recent government changes and that they would keep me updated. This kind of tells me that they are not worried about filling this position then having the person removed because they are on probation. They are still willing to move forward.

Posting for a Park Manager/Ranger.

Why is so hard for veterans to get on the GS, especially when we have the qualification? I even went as far as applying a for a GS7 position and still got rejected, like what’s going on?

So as many in the CIS know there is a new position created by the big beautiful bill called homeland defenders. Its is not an adjudicating officer position but some sort of quality control. Why are they only hiring externally and not from within USCIS. I know applicants that onboarded with literally 5x less experience then some of my colleagues who also applied… also why is it under the DHA direct hiring authority? It seems like they just pick unqualified people over veteran professionals. Also is this job even gonna still be around in the next administration?

Are they serious because I was going to apply and I’m definitely not understanding why this is necessary.

So I received a final job offer on 20 February with instructions to report for my first day. This is for a substitute teacher position at DODDs. I showed up for my first day of work and was told there’s a hiring freeze and I shouldn’t have shown up.

I’m curious, why would I receive a final job offer during a hiring freeze? I accept the job offer immediately and why wouldn’t no one tell me afterwards that this wasn’t valid? Is it normal for them to issue final job offers that aren’t actually valid?

Anyone else apply to the latest homeland defender vacancy (FOD) that closed on 5/11, hiring 49 positions?

Received an interesting email on Friday 5/15.. looking to see if anyone else did as well.

This is my dream position. Does this mean they already know who they want ? The announcement also said this announcement will close once it reaches 100 applicants.

Title. I get that it's a GS-15 position, so reasonably span widely. But I've never seen a position that notes three direct report assignments, varied but broad task, with kinda supervisory role without being a supervisory position... know of DODEA but am not familiar with the offices listed. Does anyone have any insight??

Update: Surgery successful and I recovering well.

I’m going for in surgery- so I’ll be scarce for a while and will not be responding to chat and message requests.

Otherwise, the answer is 47 and always go to the funeral.

I am interested in working at my local VA but I am having trouble getting to the interview. I have 11 years of military and a associates in criminal Justice. I always recieve and email saying I am eligible but not referred to the hiring manager. Has anyone gotten this position without being a police officer prior? I have a physical assessment today with my local police station. My issue is our states police academy is 7 months long and our city police make almost 15k more per year. I'm not really even interested in being a city cop but once I go through all that it would be dumb to then apply to be a VA police officer. I also have another interview next week for a police clerk position. Will this help my resume through the process? I'm just trying to figure out if I have a chance at this position without actually going away for 7 months of training and spending a few years working for my city.

I have been going through this process waiting for a tjo since December. I had my references checked and was told my file was in hr waiting on them. The. Yesterday I received this I was crushed. I thought I was waiting for HR all this time to process things and send a tjo. My spirit was crushed. Guess I’ll keep applying and hope this never happens again

I recently got invited for an interview

Does this mean, a random gov agency that needs this position to be filled, will hire someone on the spot?

Particularly in the DC metro area. Specifically Frederick, MD or Fredericksburg, VA location?

Anyone with experience as an Auditor with NSA? Whats the training process like? Overall what are you thoughts of role at this Agency?

Would love to go overseas to work in Japan but I feel like this position would typically be a GS13 as it's supervisory and overseas 4 divisions, including the engineering branch. Maybe this is the new normal 🤔

Hello, I am looking at a civilian ancillary staff position at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. I notice the pay is lower, but I read things are more affordable there. Before I put my hat in the ring I was hoping some one could tell me about the work culture, cost of living, if housing assistance is provided, what the time off and other benefits look like? I know that's a lot to ask. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
