I say this in interviews as well just to show my dedication to this government.

I got a FJO mid Nov 2024 in another state. And it was overseas. Only reason i took it was for the GS increase. That is what i had been trying to do for a very long time. Anyway i got it. When it was time to pick a start date i said ending of December. HR agreed and it was set. Then my manager at the time needed me to sub because lots of people had gone on vacation. Plus the new manager I was getting knew my manager through being in the same VA department except in a different VISN. So they always have weekly Team meetings. New manager OKd that and new date was set for beginning January 2025.

Here's what happened....

Trump got in office... Immediately paused the federal hiring. My car was already shipped to California. HR calls says job is in limbo so start date wasn't happening. HR said ship your car back home overseas. Also, i had a place already rented out for the first month. Had to cancel it and lost all that money because it was a airbnb that went past the date u could cancel full refund.

Fast forward my car comes back weeks later. Same day HR calls saying my new job is back on. Do i want it? I was like WTF...i said very angrily ok. New start date end of February 2025. Shipped my car back to California, had to find another airbnb repay all those again... Go do the job... And turned out to be the most corrupt place ive ever seen. Stayed the year to get my 12 months to get time in grade to next GS.... Then went back home... Where i just now found a new FED job starting first week June but several GS levels lower but at least its a foot in the door with the DOD. Which is the agency i have always wanted to work for. So all the funding i was never reimbursed for, all the stress i had from that new job, to finally back home where i belong. Shipped my car out of California again btw. This has been the wildest ride of my life.

Whats your story?

Health Systems Specialist

Safety and Occupational Health Specialist

I notice these jobs are weekly posted. I have applied to 20 of each. Havent gotten any. Resume is tailored strictly to each ad and im also GS 11 eligible. 6 years VA civilian Voc Rehab Specialist. Im also a Occupational Therapist. Former programs Director as well. My question is what exactly do you do in these jobs? What former experience do you have that makes you a good fit?

There have been multiple people on here stating that they have jumped from a lower level GS ex: 5 to a level 13 in an internal posting. Posting specifies you need to have the time in grade and sf 50 proof. They dont have that. Possibly prior private sector experience. But theres no sf 50 there that can account for any GS 11 related experience. My question for everyone in here HR is how is this possible? Its internal to an agency postings not open to the public

A good example is this response https://www.reddit.com/r/FedEmployees/s/s6141Pe9WV

As a LMT are we eligible to perform hijama in practice?

When the question comes up... "Why should we hire you?"... What answers make one stand out from the rest?

The whole my experience, my background etc isnt going to cut it. So what catches your attention?

HR, Typically how many resumes are forwarded to a hiring manager? And for hiring managers typically how many are actually interviewed for a typical job ad.

I applied to my dream job in the DOD last month. It took a month for them to get back at me for an interview. Did the best i could in it. Havent heard back in a week half already. Chief told me CHRA has final say even if i was first pick for them. Is this true or is that their way to save face? Because i did 2 other interviews before that and were right away asked to provide references. Got offered the 2 others but havent heard from the one i want.
