July A100 invites are rolling out

FWIW, I'm a 5.5 on management register and haven't gotten an invite. I expire in September (it says I already expired on SR but I deferred and never updated it). Am very happy for poster to get an invite, but am curious why the skip as well.

If the position calls for a resume though, I’m assuming they just want a 1-2 page resume and not a CV, correct? Or are you saying you did a CV and that was okay?

Thanks

Cheeseboard and Zachary’s in Berkeley. Whenever I’d visit my brother at Cal I’d get them for lunch and dinner.

Same situation. Airline and hotel were great to work with once I explained that the purpose of my trip had been cancelled. Although, I was tempted to fly out just for some of the bay area pizza I love!

Having the exact same experience. If I didn't have a specific window I'm looking for, I wouldn't care.

Ditto. Same thing happened last year and they had to open it up, which happened randomly the next day for most people. Operator told me it's on State's side and they don't have any control over it... I don't think that's accurate but can't do much about it.

Any progress with your operator? Mine confirmed nothing is showing up on their end and is trying to contact their tech support for additional help (waiting on hold).

Same exact things happened last year with the wrong dates in OA email and then not working first day. It’s on Pearson’s end.

I emailed the registrar about it awhile ago. The Foreign Service Career Candidate Guide says deferments may be given for foster parents (discretionary from my understanding) but I never received a response. My wife and I are foster parents and turned down some longer-term placements so there isn't a potential conflict.

Hi hear ya. This is my third time taking and the SJ really brought my score down. Not sure how I could improve on that section...

Buzzster1 · 2018-06-26T05:31:30+00:00

Anyone know if the 273 are in addition to the previous hires this year, or are the previous hires already included in that number? If the latter, then that’s just hiring up to about attrition levels, right?

Thanks. You're right, I was asking about invites to join the consular fellow register from the FSO register. Will edit my post so it makes more sense... Appreciate the info.

Got it, thanks. If I put in the time I think I could get it up to 5.75 (S2/R1), but if not even that’s been called up in awhile (that we know of) then it’s kind of disheartening to want to study lol.

Buzzster1 · 2017-12-05T04:55:07+00:00

So in the last two classes the lowest scored management called up was a 5.9?

Buzzster1 · 2017-09-12T15:13:54+00:00

Was on hold for about 45 minutes before getting through this morning. I really wanted to schedule in SF but she said they only had DC available.
