Hi everyone,

I’ve worked in PA off and on for years doing environmental consulting, and I have collaborated often with DEP and PennDOT. During interaction with members of these agencies overtime, it has been brought up that I should apply for jobs they were currently advertising; however, the problem is that I live out of state. Has anyone ever seen the PA residency waived? Is it worth it to just try applying, or would it be encouraged to first reach out to one of these contacts I have and speak with them prior to applying and disclose my interest in a position? Due to life circumstances, it is not currently possible for me to relocate to PA. Any guidance or experience is greatly appreciated!
