Just a quick question. I know this has been discussed numerous times on this forum. If one were to decide to change geographic locations during an upcoming vacancy announcement for CBPO, would they be given the new location with their original TSU date or the date of the change? Just contemplating my options since I have so much time to wait.

"Q. Since there are no vacancies in my geographic location, can I be offered another location?
A. Unfortunately we are not able to offer you a location outside of your selected geographic location. In order to be considered for another location, you will need to reapply when the next vacancy announcement is open on USA Jobs. Please be advised that if you reapply and are selected for a new location, your current file will automatically be closed. You can only be selected for one geographic location at a time for this position."
Looks like if you reapply to a new vacancy, you have to start the whole process over. You could always call and ask. I just had a friend waiting over a year for ICE. He called to see if he could change his location, and was given an EOD within 1 week. So it's worth a shot.Geo Pref - Boston

You can chase the open slots all you want, but even the small ports get people sometimes. If you change ports you could make your wait longer. A couple years ago, if you wanted to get on quickly you put down JFK, SFO, or the southwest. Not any longer. Either way it is a gamble. My advice is put down where you want to go and hope for the best. When hiring starts going full tilt again then change locations if you just want a job, but don't complain if you are selected for an area you can't stand.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Whether they post on this website or not, who knows? But the hiring slowly continues, allegedly. Best of luck to you.
