Wow that's insane actually.

5% mandatory into a pension fund. I have a lot of experience and success investing, I am pretty sure I could make better use of that money in my IRA's. But, whatever. It's a good, fairly high paying job and the money is still mine in the end anyways. Just in my case would like a little more say in where the money goes and how it grows. I am probably in the minority though.

Nope, I agree with you 100%.

How far are you in the hiring process? Could you just reapply under the current announcement? Good luck

Oops, forgot to reply with quote...

Would this push me back? should I wait until after the Poly to change it? Who do I call?

What states fall under Northeast anyways?
Help.

I was told by the MHC on an email that I'd have to reapply. I don't know how that would work. There is an opening right noe but Im sure that will mess up the whole thing.

My only hope would be Boston.

But if u reapply doesn't everything transfer over being that nothing you've done has expired ?

Steph I don't know how it works. I get my bachelors degree this May also. I don't why is so complicated,if you're not hired yet, why can't you just submit your diploma and get upgraded?

That's how every other employer i have seen handles it. I guess when the applicant pool is so large they don't see the need to. They are going to be able to hire whoever they want, at the price they want. And......


bureaucracy.

I'd speak to someone. I've heard of people just reapplying and everything transferring to the new application and them even getting hired faster.

Does anyone know how long does it take a med test and the vbt/si to clear? Took them about 20 days ago and haven't heard anything. 14-2 applicant Geo: Fl and PR

[Pastelon]

Also if one is applying to both BP and CBPO announcements do the requirements work for each other? Or do you have to take both med, pft, etc twice? Thanks

I got the results to both of them 2 days after I completed each. Both were on Wednesdays, and I got my NOR's on Friday via email. I'm in Florida too.

Did you take VBT/SI in Tampa or Miami? I took mine in Tampa. Maybe there is a difference between the two stations.

They are separate hiring process.

[Pastelon]

Took them about 3 weeks ago in PR and haven't heard anything, who do I need to contact guys?

[Pisan917]

Email the MHC.

The requirements for BPO are different. The PFT passing minimum is hirer and harder for BPO
