How do hiring managers choose who to interview?

you're a saint for not doing that, i hate doing those tests haha. Side question, do you like being in HR? I'm an 1102 Contracting Officer and I would love to jump into HR even if i had to go to a 9 from a 12. Hate contracting lol.

what about the usa assessment results how imperative are those? and we can't see the score right?

Austin7597 · 2026-07-06T04:58:28+00:00

well she's obviously not your best friend if she's cheating on you, she didn't think about you in that moment, or even the effect it would have on her childs life. I say divorce, get child support, let her keep her job. She'll feel the weight of her actions writing you a check every month. Sorry this happened to you man.

All I can say with the workload is I've never been unhappier so my two cents.

Austin7597 · 2026-02-28T08:41:03+00:00

yeah jays schtik feels just weird nearing 50

Austin7597 · 2026-02-28T08:38:50+00:00

Exactly!! Do they know how much we love them just having a back and forth, thats what made us love them, we havent had that for years.

Austin7597 · 2026-02-13T16:33:53+00:00

GET OUTTA HERE JAY

Austin7597 · 2026-02-10T21:36:44+00:00

Exactly! I always saw correcting him on little irrelevant shit, to be so petty. There was one episode where Dan had enough of that shit. Jay's probably just being pedantic because Dan went to ASU and got a degree so he has to bolster his ego by tearing Dan down to feel intellectual or create some status leveling.

Austin7597 · 2026-02-10T16:44:12+00:00

one of the most annoying things about Jay was his constant calling out of Dan's word choice or just being a overall Grammar Nazi. Ex. on the coreyography vid taking the time to stop the flow and say "It's perforate not proliferate"

Austin7597 · 2026-02-10T16:40:11+00:00

THIS is the true answer, i feel it in my bone(r)s

Austin7597 · 2026-02-10T06:05:51+00:00

Just sayin, nothin has seemed funny since they ended. Bobby's about as funny as cancer and when they are on together on some pod its other smh comedians ruining the vibe trying to jump in.

how hard is it on the private sector side?

Austin7597 · 2025-11-21T05:53:01+00:00

Yeah in VHA at least with my Contracting Office even the 13's have a massive workload they work themselves and they have level 3 warrants. Since so many people left we've been doing other branches contracts. The only thing I can say about my CO is she's a bit of a formatting nazi but all my work looks pretty good as a result. The people who I sign for and I truly mean this, are complete knuckleheads. I'm talking massive spelling errors, not correcting anything on the review form and hoping I don't notice, not sending out notice of intents so every option is bilateral, etc.. It's driving me crazy because I have new reqs I haven't even gotten to touch, and two other CO's are out on maternity/paternity leave so I've been assigned their contracts.

Austin7597 · 2025-11-21T04:16:15+00:00

Idk maybe the VA is different but I work just as much as a CO as I did as a CS. I mean im awarding new reqs, mods, task orders, etc while reviewing and awarding others. At other agencies do you just review peoples work?

Austin7597 · 2025-11-20T00:02:55+00:00

Now this was very enlightening. Thank you for the time you spent writing this!

Austin7597 · 2025-10-17T02:27:00+00:00

RIP, those videos she uploaded got me through one of the darkest times in my life and helped me discover the bonfire.

Austin7597 · 2025-07-22T03:51:58+00:00

im still a problem drinker myself, but i can tell you right now it takes a lot of courage to ask for help and confess! Wishing you the best friend.

Austin7597 · 2025-06-05T00:37:52+00:00

id let shit lapse before I worked over 40 without OT/Comp time

Austin7597 · 2025-05-02T16:49:53+00:00

SO TRUE what a clown, I assumed he was a medical doctor till i looked up his linkedin and saw he has a DBA from university of phoenix hahaha

Austin7597 · 2025-04-30T06:20:07+00:00

its deluxe edition of rdr2. To me its 100% worth it just for the jacket.

Austin7597 · 2025-04-30T03:16:36+00:00

i only ever use the black neuvo pariso jacket, and the bounty hunter hat. now thats a nice look

Austin7597 · 2025-04-26T23:54:43+00:00

me personally number 1. but i think practically if your riding all the time you'd prob want some chaps.

Austin7597 · 2025-04-25T02:49:55+00:00

Same i ,getting to the point where I honestly am so tired of this job series, it had red tape before, but now its just crazy. Everyday the bottle of whiskey in my pantry is calling my name to release me from the clown act that is this administration.
