Secret Service SA hiring process

[texengland]

That's crazy. I had to retake a CI poly three times becasue there was no discernable difference between my real answers and control answers. You would think they would have policies in place to offer retests if the results came back slightly off or inconclusive.

[JoeEsq42]

When did u take it? Did you get an email or other communication that you failed the poly or do you just think you failed? Big difference and most people walk out thinking they failed. The poly is an awful experience and the USSS prides itself for having the toughest poly of any agency.

Tester told me I failed and stopped the test. Anyone know if they allow for a re-test? How long?

In regards to the January 2014 announcement. Did any of you receive an email from the secret service today? I did and the email stated to check usajobs.gov in a couple of days for a status update. Have to say in all the positions I have ever applied to an email like this is the first. Its kinda weird too because usajobs.gov has said referred since the 2/25.

I got the same email.

[LadyKiller]

The email I received is for the 9 not the 7.

[liberty82]

I got the same email.

Can I assume you have been referred on usajobs? Same here for the GS 9.

[LadyKiller]

nope usa jobs says application received doesn't say anything about referred. On the Secret Service page under 9 it says we are currently reviewing applications and under 7 it says application received. Then I got the email you were referring to that told me I was being reviewed and to check USA jobs for status in "a couple days". I have no vet points but I have a boatload of leo exp, several college degrees, and am a former fed leo.

Has anyone testing out of the Detroit Field Office been scheduled for the polygraph yet?

This whole update in a couple of days is ridiculous. Think I would have rather kept hearing crickets. Hopefully the email was from the local field office and not D.C., which would mean that a test date is coming our way soon. The reason I say that is because I am already a GS 12 and I do not have to make the initial cut for GS 9 if I made the cut for GS 7. If I was hired I would automatically get GS 9 step 10 pay. My background is somewhat like yours except I have vet points.
