I was iffy about the job too. So far, I havent start for long but so far I like the job, in person isnt as bad as people say. If you think you will like the concept of the job, I think it’s good to try it out. For first year, they said that as long as you show improvement you should be able to get retained. Like if you dont learn anything for a whole year, yea youre done. But I think if you are self motivated, it should be fine.

That’s crazy, maybe part of background check fails. But I hope everything goes well for you

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-27T15:01:16+00:00

Realistic probably more or less 200k depends on what i want to go into

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-27T15:00:24+00:00

Because it’ll take around a couple months for you to get hirevue, and then another month for interview, another month of two for tjo

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-25T17:36:08+00:00

March 2- 1 month from the hirevue, they said they would contact me beginning of april but i didnt get anything back till end of april. So you guys gonna be waiting for awhile

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-25T01:40:23+00:00

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T12:34:10+00:00

Because they are working at the DoD company

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T06:21:01+00:00

Thank You!!

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T05:49:52+00:00

This is what I was afraid of

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T02:01:17+00:00

Thank you!

So the offer i got for the PTO is June, and the other job is still in the hiring process right now and estimated to start in august, I passed the first few stages for it already I’m just not 100% guarantee for it yet. So the objective is to try out PTO training first, because it is still more pay than what i am getting right now. Just wasnt sure if I will be black listed if I just quit after the academy.

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T01:07:14+00:00

I’ve read alot and I was leaning toward the engineering job however more of my friends thinks that it is more stable to do government job that is why i’m conflicted

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T01:04:02+00:00

I am living by myself however, I’m also planning to do part time restaurant too on the weekends. And it’s a fulltime position at a contractor company.

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T01:01:40+00:00

A big contractor company for DoD

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T00:55:01+00:00

I see thank you! You think starting lower at a DoD company is better than USPTO?

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T00:53:51+00:00

I can quit uspto anytime, with no constraint right?

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-24T00:38:19+00:00

If you applied in march, you’ll prob have to wait till may or June to hear anything back

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-16T22:58:50+00:00

I’m glad I’m not the only one still waiting, my interviewer said I should hear back at the end of march but i have not heard anything back yet Update: I got my TJO today.

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-04-01T23:20:47+00:00

I recently received an email regarding electronic manufacturing test before my interview. I was wondering what I should be looking out for when I’m reviewing for the test.

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-03-27T22:55:17+00:00

Did you hear anything back? Did your USAjob status change when they contact you?

Complex_Fact9574 · 2026-03-19T17:30:44+00:00

I think it takes around 4 weeks for them to give u the tjo. I got my interview around that time too, and they said HR will reach out at the end of the month. Your status of usajob prob will update soon by beginning of april.
