I initially applied for GS-1340 5, 7, and 9 position in early June to east and west offices. I ended up getting a confirmation email about my application package that stated I was eligible for the 5 and 7 level, but not 9 for both east and west, and eventually an interview for an office out east by the end of June. The positions were cancelled due to an internal error and I reapplied to all the positions I applied to previously.

Today (8/18) I get an email saying I was not referred to the office to which I already had an interview, then another two emails regarding both east and west locations that I was ineligible for 7 and 9 due to transcript not showing completion of required semester hours.

My application on usajobs says ‘not referred’ to the office I interviewed with, but ‘received’ for the other locations to which the email said I’m ineligible for 7 and 9.

This is very strange considering I previously received eligibility for 5 and 7, an interview for the office to which it said I was not referred, and also the ineligible emails never mentioned my eligibility status for level 5. I haven’t received official word from the MIC at the office I interviewed with.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Are they auto-disqualified in USAJobs?

for those looking for nws hiring status updates - I got two interviews today :) one from east and one from west, both interviewing next week!

with that being said, I have a question for those with experience here. how long do they typically give for relocation if hired? not getting my hopes up too high yet, but figured a general idea could be useful knowledge to have with interviews on the books. thank you in advanced!!

We were part of a FY25 Saltonstall Kennedy (SK) application. When government reopened and noaa got their budget we heard in March they would be emailing PIs decisions they could make. Assuming this means they were going to ask if they wanted to keep their proposal in. They also said they already had the panel reviews.

But then silence since. I have heard the entire SK grant is being reviewed by DOC and staff aren’t allowed to comment.

What do we think? Dead? Or still possible?

I can load my local WFO landing page here

When I try to click on any of the counties in the WFO coverage detailed forecast map, I get back Sorry, an unexpected error occurred. Same basic response if I use the bookmarked link for my specific location.

It's been over a month since the 7/1 closing date after the "administrative error". Anyone have any insight on what the situation is?

Curious if anyone knows how NOAA is right now for 1102s. Understaffed or a shit show right now??
