This. It's your life. People come and go. You explained it better but I wish more people followed this advice.

[nonotnow]

I've been in a very similar position. Not exact but close. Over the years I've thought about these types of scenarios. My opinion is this. Take the campus job. if you want the city job and it comes available, take it then. It's a business and any reasonable person will understand. As much as people...

[nonotnow]

Thanks! Still new to all this applying.

Is DH usually ON USAJOBS or just within the agency?

[nonotnow]

Appreciate the info Golly. Called the recruiter a couple times over the past few months and they still refer me to USAJOBS but I'll be calling them this week to see if there's any update. I'd really like to apply in 2019.

[nonotnow]

I'm sorry for the lack of knowledge but what does HRD and TD stand for? And what's excpeted service? I'm in the NE and there is no Schedule B hiring. Trying to see when another announcement on USAJOBS is expected to drop.

[nonotnow]

Congrats. You're in a good tough spot I'd say. Just fyi an old coworker of mine was processing with DIA and CIA. She wanted CIA but DIA hired her first. Eventually CIA called her back and gave her the job so she jumped ship. I'm quite sure this is commonplace in this line of work so I 2nd breacherGA...

Ah yeah I gotcha. Well location is what you make it, everyone's got different opinions. Glad you're liking it down there and thank! Still waiting on my chance to apply.

[nonotnow]

Gotcha. Me too. I'm working on a contact now. We can swap if you'd like?

[nonotnow]

NYC or NY state?

[nonotnow]

Do you mind if I ask what the naysayers usually comment about? No surprises on starting pay as a GL7. Heard nothing but good things, on here and in person working with US Marshals, about working for them.

[nonotnow]

Whats the entrance exam? 19-5 here and got a NOR tentative offer only.

[nonotnow]

Thanks yeah the one group I didn't try and ask about jobs. Selling myself is easy, it's getting ahold of these guys that seems to be the issue. Appreciate it!

[nonotnow]

How do we get in contact with a local recruiter, call our field office? Didnt see anything on the website. I was just talking to some HSI agents last week on a joint op, wish I knew this beforehand!...

[nonotnow]

Thanks I'm in the NE so maybe I'll start calling around. Still no schedule B hiring in my major metropolitan area.

[nonotnow]

Are you guys out of Texas and NJ?

[nonotnow]

Do you have LE or military background?

[nonotnow]

Ah gotcha. I appreciate the info. From all the threads I've scanned, def seems like a number of these agencies minus FBI are slow. Good luck! Waiting on my BA by the end of the year then I'm going to apply with them. Probably tough to argue against GL9 vs GL7.

[nonotnow]

Sorry man, that's gotta be seriously disheartening. so you're gonna move on unless you get the TO soon? Scary for me as I'm waiting myself to even apply...

[nonotnow]

19-5 here, applied 2/4 and got NOR and tentatively selected early this week as GL9. Also running through BP process simultaneously.
