my usajobs applicant status page for this announcement says "application incomplete". any idea why? i submitted everything the same way i apply for any other job on usajobs but it says application incomplete for this one. help please. thanks guys

Mine says the same thing, but that Im "Missing Required Documents". Im assuming it will change to Complete once my Resume and Transcript change from "Processing" to "Complete". I think it did this on the last announcement as well. I figured my Transcripts and Resume would immediately process, but apparently that isnt the case.

Hopefully 95 won't be the cut off like the last announcement.

[wrlafferty]

I think it's because your documents are being processed. Check again later good. luck.

Phoenix, San Antonio, San Fran.

Any idea how hard it is to get back to an East Coast office after your initial assignment?

Also, how fast did the last process take on average? I turn 36 at the end of this month.

[wrlafferty]

The process is going to take a little bit of time. But, age shouldn't be a problem. It's when you apply (today). If your prior service military then it's a non issue. Take into consideration, if you're interested in returning to the East Coast, I would apply for an East Coast position. However, you have a better chance of moving if you go to a OCONUS assignment like Saipan and Puerto Rico. Normally a 3-5 year tour. However, if there's someone in a East Coast job that wants the West Coast or South West Border you can mutual with them, provided you have the same pay scale. Never put in for something you don't want. Thats the place you just might end up at. Good Luck.

New York, San Francisco, Phoenix here. Definitely would prefer New York but beggars can't be choosers.

[mjcek]

How many years to go from a 7 to an 11 on average?

[Smiley85]

I chose NYC and 2 SCL locations.

Yes it will change when the document is retrieved by the system and matched to the application.

This is not true. You must not have passed the maximum age by the time you enter on duty for a 6c covered position. Many many poor souls have missed out on their chances having applied at 35 or 36 and hitting 37 while still in the process.

To everyone considering putting in for a SCL, and having dreams of Saipan island life, might want to do some research on the island. Rolling electricity blackouts nearly daily, a collapsing economy, and more. If you are not of the native culture, you can not own land, end of discussion. Next to no jobs for family members. Not saying don't apply, but do some research. I'll personally put in for it because I can live with all of that. But just a friendly heads up.

Putting in, despite not having a degree, so I have no chance. My amigo who left BP for Secret Service a few weeks ago is one of the smartest guys I know. He made the cut, and then took the test and failed, which was surprising to both of us. Best of luck all.

You wouldn't be the first 1811 without a degree...
