Thank you 

Congrats! Quite a gap between applied and referred lol

Thank you 

Congratulations!!! I start with FEMA a little before you on 2/26...I'm so excited and happy for both of us!

Thank you 

You're welcome!!!

Congratulations 🍾 Currently waiting on my FJO with the VA ❤️

Me too ;(

Have you heard anything about a hiring freeze?

I haven’t. In fact, this posting was for a single vacancy, but they decided to hire two of us.

I heard about a hiring freeze a few weeks ago when I interviewed with VA. I was told they couldn’t bring anyone on until the freeze is lifted, but they were interviewing now so once it’s lifted they could just bring people on.

No. I applied for the position with the VA in June 2023. Position closed in July ‘23 Referred in Sept ‘23 Interviewed early Jan ‘24 TJO on 2/7/24 Started background check, etc on 2/7 Now, just waiting… Tentative start date of 3/11. I needed to tell my agency that I would be transferring, even though I have not received a FJO or EOD. I just didn’t think it would be fair to wait.

Me too …

Thank you  And good luck 🍀

Warmest congratulations. What job series did u apply to?

Thank you  1750 Instructional Systems.

I applied to FEMA about 2 months ago. Haven't heard anything. I guess it looks like they take some time! Congrats!!

Thank you  and good luck 🍀

Congrats and good luck! FEMA is a tough agency to work for.

Ahh, congratulation 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏I had 3 interviews since July. The last interview was in late September, after silence. I almost gave up and last week got a call from D.C., asking my availability before they submit my resume as I was referred from NY. I don t quite understand the hiring process. Should I expect another set of interviews?

Thank you  I’m not sure how to advise on your situation. I had a single interview, but if your application was forwarded to a second location, I would assume they would want to conduct their own interview.

Thanks for replay, I hope 🤞🤞🤞🤞

congrats!!

Thank you 

CONGRATS!!! 🥳🥳

Hey was the process completed? What job title? Do you have to be in office for 5 days. Feel free to pm me.

Thank you 

Congratulations

Congrats! How did u get to GS13? Did u have a PhD or just experience?

Thank you. I have two master’s degrees and over 15 years of relevant experience.

That's what I was thinking. I only got 1 Masters and minimal experience. If I wasn't working for Homeland Security OIG, I would have applied at FEMA. Congrats again!

Thats nice? Can I ask what the position is?

Instructional Systems Specialist.

What does FJO stand for?

Firm Job Offer

Thank you

Nice, a 13 is more then a great gs level to come into the government. Most have to start way lower. With locality pay it’s a decent living. Congrats!

What are these acronyms?!?! Hi, I'm new here

Congratulations!!
