Hi all, I posted in here about a month and a half ago, wondering if there had been any word on outside hiring starting again soon. I left the agency for my own personal reasons unrelated to the job at the beginning of the year. I've since sorted it out and would love to get back with the agency but obviously, that is difficult these days. Basically, I'm wondering if anyone has heard anything (rumor or otherwise) on outside hiring timelines? Thanks in advance!

Hello all, I was with the agency for about a year and a half before I left in February for personal reasons. I know things are a mess right now, but my job as a forester was incredibly meaningful to me, and I'm now at a point again where I would love to get back to it. My question is, has there been any indication that they will start hiring from outside the agency anytime this fiscal year or calendar year? From what I've read, it seems like historically they would usually do the hiring for my PD in October-ish. I would want to end up in R6 (if regions are still a thing). I'm trying to find out if it seems like things might start moving again or if I should just accept it is time to move on. Thank you all for whatever insight you can offer!
