Ok I have a background question for those of you who have just gone through it or who have done backgrounds.
I submitted my very lengthy BI packet and it arrived on June 20th and it has been about 23 buisness days (weekdays only - no weekends or holidays) and I have had a chance to speak to some of the folks who I have listed in my packet - friends, co-workers, and law enforcement officers. So far all of them have told me that they haven't been contacted as of yet.
The position is a FT LEO spot for a town of 1300 people.
My questions are 1-How long should I expect until I hear something? 2-Do they contact every single person on the list that I give or just pick at random? 3-Should I contact the agency and inquire about an update and to just restate that I am still interested in the position? 4-If I do contact the agency - do you think it would be helpful to mention that I had received an award shortly after I had submitted my packet?
UGH - Waiting to hear something has to be the hardest part of the hiring process.
Thanks.
