What type of weighted vests do they use at Glynco? I have a cheap one from Amazon now.

They just posted a new training video on Youtube. Here is the link. Get a weighted vest and do a lot of calisthenics.

Federal HR departments are notorious for this. For example, if the vacancy says two years of graduate education qualifies you based on education, and you just list that you had an M.S. in something, you might not qualify.

Sometimes you have to explain and over-articulate the obvious, that a master's or law degree program is two to three years of education. I always list the dates. I've even started listing specific courses that are relevant because I don't trust HR to not throw my application in the garbage. I sometimes think they're processing high volumes and look for reasons (even inaccurate ones) to weed out candidates.

DB9173 might be onto something there. I went into great detail documenting my experience to justify their GL7 requirements.

[DB9173]

You might have the experience for a 7 but on your resume you might of lacked the articulation that shows you qualified for it.

[Winter_Patriot]

You can contact HRD. I have not heard of people having success in that situation though.

I got my referral for GL 5 earlier this week, but it stated that I was ineligible for GL 7. Under their own qualifications, I’m fairly certain I qualify for GL 7 because I have well over 1 year of specialized experience. Who should I contact to see if there was possibly a mistake made?

Can't say for sure, but following what I see on this thread, people are generally getting TOLs about 1-2 months after the structured interview. We're coming up on a month this week, so next week is my optimistic guess.

[Gabulldogs88]

Ah I was hoping this week. How long does it normally take? Just curious.

[NYC1175]

I interviewed in Philly. Have not received a TOL yet. I'm gonna guess we get word some time next week.

[Gabulldogs88]

Afternoon,

Did anyone here go to the interview in Philly? If so, have you received a TOL or any other email?
Thanks.

[Rocket88]

Dbc471 Yes, I received the e-mail today saying I was referred for both GL 5 and 7.

[NYC1175]

I was referred May 28th, got the email to schedule the interview the same day. Each person's process is different, so don't take it as a bad thing if it takes a bit longer for you.

[Dbc471]

@Doc_HalIVAHN I got my referral on 6/14, but still haven't got an interview email. From others I have found on here, it appears that the interview has typically been set for around 2 months from the referral date. Many people on here say that the interview was 3 to 4 weeks from the interview notification email.

Rocket88 did you actually receive the referral email?

[Rocket88]

Received mine today as well. Was wondering the same.
