Woohoo!!
Hi all; long time lurker, second time poster. I got the call today from one department I've been in the process with since February (the waiting really was the hardest part) asking, "When do you want to start?" I can't say what an awesome feeling that was. It's been a long process, and I'm eager to get my career started.
Also, I want to say thanks to everyone who has been so helpful in answering questions and providing guidance to those of us in the process. Though I haven't asked any questions, I have reaped the benefits of advice and knowledge passed on from others. Thanks especially to Guams, M-11, and Shadow Warrior for their stickies and in depth insight regarding the hiring process; priceless information there. Honorable mentions to PhilipCal, Keith M., and others (I'm sure I'm leaving out some of the major players, sorry), but thanks goes out to everyone who has provided insight into the selection process from their perspectives.
As to the department that hired me, I'm super stoked about it, and feel it's going to be a good fit for me. My start date is next month, and the academy will be in January.
Wish me luck!

Congratulations, man! I've been applying to places since April, so I can sympathize with you on how hard it is to sit around and wait for news. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what department are you going to be working for? Best of luck to you in your new career!
