July 2018 USMS Announcement# CK10250620BD

[Gollywompas]

For those of you who are not already in the process with the USMS, job was posted this morning. May the odds be ever in your favor!

[DB9173]

I wish I was able to apply for this an announcement. Local law Enforcement and college graduate..

[Gollywompas]

Hopefully the new schedule B opens some doors for you. I spoke to the chief deputy in my district today and he says HQ is working it now. The idea is to get the right guys with the right experience in the seat, so I'd reach out the Marshals in your area and start making relationships. I foresee a lot of openings going to Local Task Force types so if your agency contributes to a Marshals TF, that may get your foot in the door.

[DB9173]

I did my internship with the Marshals in college. A lot of them move districts recently.. Plus it was a small office.

[FNG41YR]

I applied. Taking assessment later on today

For those of you who are not already in the process with the USMS, job was posted this morning. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Good looking out Golly. I would've missed it!

[Gollywompas]

Glad to help!

[my93rx7tt]

Anyone have luck taking assessment? When I click the link, it says I am not authorized to access the resources.

[FNG41YR]

Schwook....is that you Shocktroop?

[my93rx7tt]

I got it squared away.

[1RidgeRunner7]

I got a little excited, put in for it, sat around debating whether or not to do the assessment. I have a bit on my plate at the moment, so I decided last night not to do it and try the next go around. This morning I got an email stating the obvious, saying I did not do the assessment. The email said I have until 7/20 to complete the assessment now. I saw USAJOBS the announcement is open until 7/18 now.

[Schwook]

Hell no. That guy's an ***.

[AgentSpecial]

Took the test. I feel like I’m in every process right now.

[Gollywompas]

Welcome to the hunt! The Marshals is the only one I really want, but I can't afford to put all my eggs in one basket, come April, I will be jobless. So yeah, that resume is just about everywhere lol.

[Army_Cyber]

Ha! Same for me. At this rate I will be an expert by the end of this for every known entrance exam in the Federal government...

[KJB]

Lol ditto.

[Schwook]

Over the last 2 years I've applied to 70 openings. 10 of which after I earned my degree. That degree really opens doors. I feel like a professional test taker and USAJOBS expert (like Army_Cyber said)!

[KJB]

I applied as well. I applied to the one last year and missed the assessment email in my spam folder. Not this time though, got all that stuff done right away.

[jfkae]

Wahoo, another announcement to say my degree does not count as the ones listed.

[mxxdude]

First time poster here but I am unable to find the answer of my question through research.

When would potential duty stations be offered? With the NOR from the assessment? Or after the interview with a TO? Just curious, open to anywhere in the U.S for this job so not too worried about it regardless

[CSUAlum]

So I don’t know if it’s consistent, but for me there was a wish list sent prior to the interview.

[B O Double]

Not until the final offer.

[Willy Wigglesworth]

I’m between drug test and pt test now from 2016 announcement.... no locations discussed, most likely not until final offer... at least for me

[Bandido]

Willy, have you received confirmation you are still eligible being a 2016 announcement applicant? Only ask because I know 2 people in that announcement who had to be hired by the July class or else their certificate expired.

[ROGUE SEVEN]

I applied for the recent graduate listing and interviewed in April. I was under the impression that the assessments were good for a year. I suppose I may have to fly to DC again to interview too.

[Schwook]

This aspect is a little insane.

[SSG_MP]

I also took the assessment for the Recent Grad announcement, although was found ineligible because my degree date was off by like three days. However, I thought the assessment was good for a year, why do we have to do it again? Does that mean we failed the last one?

[ROGUE SEVEN]

I'm under the impression that if you passed the assessment then you were given an interview which was my case. I interviewed and April.

[Mf821]

In this announcement it stated even if you had done the assessment within the past year you still had to do it again. Not sure why as it really is the same assessment.

[LadyKiller]

Rogue I am in the same boat as you. I applied to this opening as a current fed LEO, and the recent graduate as a 37 year old recent graduate LOL! The assessment link is working for me, I have sent an email to the help desk asking the same question as you, and why my link isn't working, if I get a response I'll let you know.

[FNG41YR]

I missed the recent graduate announcement, but those locations they offered were not good for me anyway. Here's to finally getting into the Marshal service.

[Schwook]

No relocation expenses to PR? Screw that.

[FNG41YR]

Nope no relocation as a new hire.

[FNG41YR]

What a weird assessment. How would they even grade that thing? Well, aside from the grammar/writing portion.

[cmor5150]

What was the writing portion like?

[m.p.c]

Just be aware that the probability is very high that anyone hired will be going to either the southwest border districts, DC or Puerto Rico. They are deemed crucial districts that need staffing

[m.p.c]

I wouldn't say zero chance, but those areas are priority right now. The one nice thing about the USMS in comparison to other Fed agencies is that they will tell you where you would be assigned before entering the academy

[mtl1987]

What about the North East part of the country? Not that I would mind the South West but being from PA it's be kinda nice to be close to home/family.

[raptor170]

I've been told by a pretty reliable source (USMS employee) that this announcement is to fill multiple offices within the United States, including interior and rural areas. Keeping my fingers crossed that we have options as to where we go....

[mtl1987]

raptor that is awesome to hear, I mean I'd go just about anywhere with the marshals to get the job but it would be nice to have some options or input on the location.

[SSG_MP]

Anyone have any problems doing the assessment on a MAC? It keeps telling me I do not meet the basic system requirements, and I am 100% sure I have the cookies and flash enabled, as well as the proper browsers (I think lol).

[antonioakatrell]

SSG_MP I did my assessment on a MAC . However I used the Crome for MAC browser . If you haven’t I would try using Crome or an alternate browser to Safari. I hope this helps.

[Schwook]

Used Chrome too. Worked well.

[SSG_MP]

Thanks guys, I got it working on Chrome.
