So after 5 weeks of nothing- I got my TJO for GS-0610-11 step 1. I accepted the offer but asked to be reconsidered for a step increase because I had just graduated with my BSN. I have very high acuity experience and they expressed how excited they were with my experience in my interview.

The position also has the ability to give relocation assistance of sorts so I had requested that as we will be relocating over 600 miles.

So now it’s been a few days and I haven’t heard a no. Could that mean that they’re considering something for me?

So I have applied to some Nurse (0610) jobs here and there as I find they come up in areas I want. I’ve been referred every time and usually it’s a no. I know applying as a civilian it’ll be tough to compete.

However, I applied for a job out of my home state that’s 10 hours away and got referred. I got a call the next morning asking for a phone interview. We did the interview a few days later and I felt it went really well. I believe I answered questions well and they repeatedly told me they were excited with my experience. The next day they asked for references.

It’s been almost 4 weeks since the interview and I haven’t heard anything. I know the timeline can be fast and can be slow but this radio silence is killlllliingggg me. I was nervous at first because I truly never expected to interview because of how hard it is to get in. However, the longer I wait to hear back the more I realize I really do want the job.

Idk if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. I assume it’s normal but honestly idk. It was a direct hire with possible incentives.

How was everyone else’s timelines? This is very different than any other job I’ve interviewed for.
