If you're looking for financial stability go with BPA, you get non competitive promotions, and the cost of living where you'll most likely be will be fairly reasonable. With USSS, you'll have to sign a mobility agreement, meaning you could be sent to one of the highest cost areas of living in the United...

This.

Im not USSS or BPA, but the interviewers are going to look at you like your head is screwed on backwards interviewing for USSS UD or BPA if you have investigative experience like that. The choice is yours, but you'll be starting from square one again. Going to be upfront with you,...

Corrective Surgery "May" be disqualifying, emphasis on the may portion. If you heal fine and have no issues you won't be disqualified. If you heal poorly and experience all sorts of issues because of the surgery you will be disqualified. I had Lasik done and am still applying for schedule...

You contact a recruiter, and they give you the info. Two words though, BE PERSISTENT. I was emailing the general email, and I had a marshal from one of the field offices I contacted return my call. Mind you that call came after I tried numerous times with two other district offices. Once you give them...

Bro just apply the worst thing they say is no. You can be sent any where for USMS, even Alaska. Sounds bad, but you would have the opportunity to domesticate a polar bear and ride it to work.

Tommyjd78 Thanks for the offer man, but I don't want to get you in any trouble. Federal agencies are weird about sending around info that isn't yet public.

[Levithane]

Try seeing if theres any opportunities with Federal contractors, and get some work experience. I'm not a cop, but I can tell you from what I have seen holding a job that requires a background investigation/re-investigation can help with getting LE jobs. I can tell you as well that a big part of the...

Were you able to pull a date from which those requirements were from? Something tells me the new standards are going to be more than 35 pushups.

[Levithane]

Finally a question I am uniquely qualified to answer. So SSBI is the previous terminology used to describe investigations, the type of backgrounds now conducted are Tier-5's. Tier-5 is more or less a streamlined version of the SSBI, previous requirements were a bit different (can't post specific details...

After my persistence I was able to speak with a US Marshal regarding hiring. Apparently DC hasn't informed a lot of the offices yet regarding information sessions. As far as the general email goes, they've told me to email them back in late April....

[Levithane]

Which discrepancies specifically? I ask because if we're talking about alcohol related issues, or experimentation with drugs (like marijuana), we'll have a lot of people fail. I say this because I interview a ton of people related to those issues, and estimates are what I'm given majority of the time...

They wouldn't be bad if they were implemented better. My personal opinion is that they shouldn't be used for pre employment. The part about polygraphs that makes no sense is that they occur before the background investigation. I work on background investigations, some cases have polygraphs apart of...

Bro you may have to embark on a noble crusade to get your birth certificate back. I had the same problem, trying to get mine back. I emailed them about 3 to 4 times over the course of the process, and was finally able to get it back after asking again after not passing the AC.

[Levithane]

Don't book anything yet because I don't think they have all the details sorted out. I was told to email them again at the end of the month.

[Levithane]

Yeah I reached out to my local one, and he put me on a contact list. HR indicated to me there wouldn't be any going on in Texas in the coming months. Im not sure how the process would pan out in attending an information session in another district/state.

[Levithane]

How does this process work exactly? I've been going back and forth with the agency email. There aren't going to be any information sessions in my area, so I would have to go out of state. Do you send a recruiter an email once theres a confirmed information session date?

Get a degree in what you excel in, and in something you like. If you like accounting or finance, pursue it. If you like taking criminology courses, pursue it. As a society we are at a point where a degree is just a box you check off, and that is due to the market being overly flooded with them. What...
