Does adding a schedule A letter when not requested help?
One federal worker told me yes, but he has never hired anyone. Just helped with the job description on usajobs that had to be canceled since late 2024 hiring freeze. That posting will be up again as no major hiring freeze now. Someone who used to do quite a bit of hiring for GS12+ wasn’t sure as only one total person had submitted schedule A and I’ve met that person in real life. Never been a federal worker, so GS7 suits me the best as the highest possible GS realistically. My schedule A letter is dated in 2024, and I haven’t contacted the psychologist this year(2026) but she did say employers could contact her though none have. Psychologist wrote my letter. I put it more now when not asked me and if I remember. Thanks in advance.
