Secret Service SA hiring process

[Det_sje]

That could be a tough recovery in the workplace if things didn't pan out for some reason...

I agree, that is going to be my situation when and if I tell them, "Hey, I have an agent from the Secret Service coming to do my background investigation".

I can only imagine the mouth I gotta hear after he or she leaves my office. I hope they wont fire me!!!!

Nothing here either buddy, my friend received orders for the June class already. I believe school for us sounds more like a possibility in September.

What was the date for the class and location offers? Everyone's "friends" are getting the call. Sux for the board members.

question: Do you need a college degree for SA? Got buddy who wants to apply who has investigative experience but no degree.

No, you don't need it, but if you want to be consider on a even playing field I would say yes you NEED the degree.

I applied in June 13 with 6 months left of school and 4 years of investigative experience, non vet and I was not referred.

I applied in January 14 with my degree in hand and I was referred.

He had three choices, New York, New Jersey, and LA. He is starting his class in June. I am still waiting for my medical. He was in the process before the hiring freeze.

Do they offer you your choice of assignments when they give you a firm offer? If so that's good on their part, I know some agencies who assign you after you graduate training. Mobility agreement FTW.

They will call you and say, do you want the job at GS 7 or 9, whichever you're offered.

You say yes.

They say we have 1, 2, or 3 locations for you to choose from, depending on how lucky you are.

Depending on the time crunch, you may have to say yes or no on the spot, but they will most likely give you several days to decide the location.

Officer 963...If you don't mind me asking, what City, or region is your buddy processing from? Just trying to get an idea of how the USSS took into account his current location vs where the USSS just needed to fill a spot.

Thanks!

Here's the analysis:
Where they need to fill spots - 100% importance.
Where you're from or want to live - 0% importance.

I know june, I was trying to pin down exact class date. Also when you say before hiring freeze, are you meaning he applied at the June 2013 announcement?

It moves a lot faster than you think

I second that statement, I am wondering if phase 2 (security phase) will move just as fast?????
