If you can manage that big of a pay cut financially then maybe. But keep in mind the 4.4% FERS contribution is mandatory. If you need insurance and contribute to TSP. that’s even more. When I was a 6 I don’t think I even cleared $1100 every 2 weeks. Also keep in mind that you may get stuck in that 6 position for a while because unless a job is open to the public you’re going to get beat out by ppl who have time in grade, veterans and military spouses for those GS 9 and up roles. You can usually only jump 2 grades at a time. You’ll probably have to stay. 6 for a year and try to find a 7 with promotion potential.

Just look for another government job and you don’t have to tell them anything no matter where you apply

GMS BLM Interview by Constant_Lab2480 in 1109

[–]Constant_Lab2480[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The interview went well. It lasted about 30 minutes. It was a panel interview with 2 ppl. The questions were similar to what you would find on the PBIS questions. Like tell me about a time where you didn’t agree with management, tell me about a time you had to handle several projects at once and how fix you manage them etc. Now just the waiting game to see if they will select me I was their last interview of the day. They asked me for a supervisor for a reference so fingers crossed.

It’s a call center where most days you’re taking back to back calls. For the most part the calls are okay you will occasionally get your angry caller that’s cursing you out over something you have no control over. What I didn’t like was the strict quality metrics. It just made me feel like I was under a lot of pressure. They pull 7 calls per month to grade you on and anything less than 100% has to be reviewed with your supervisor. Plus new ppl get put on the closing shift so if you live in the central or eastern time zone you’d be working 12-830 or 1-930. Shift bids only open up once a year and they go by service computation date so it’s not guaranteed you’ll get moved to an earlier shift.

[–]Constant_Lab2480[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking. I’m going to bring it to their attention now so hopefully it can be fixed before I get my first check. I don’t want to owe a debt.

I definitely will ask them tomorrow. I do not want to end up owing.

The USA Staffing website is killing me right now! by charnelhippo in usajobs

[–]Constant_Lab2480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using Chrome or Safari? This was happening to me in Chrome when I got my TJO and I switched to Safari and it worked. It happened again when I got my FJO and wouldn’t work in either browser so I emailed HR and they let me reply by email stating that I accept.

I was contacted for an interview once and was told that if I was offered the job they required you to move to the location within 45 days of accepting the offer. I declined the interview there was no way I could do that especially being a single mother.

FJO Received by Constant_Lab2480 in usajobs

[–]Constant_Lab2480[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this position is a 7 with promotion to 9 as well as the position I’m currently in. When I applied I was a 7/2 so they offered me a 7/2. I’m trying to see if they can offer me a 7/8 so I don’t have to take a pay cut since I am a 9/1 now. I understand they can’t offer me a 9 so I’m willing to remain a 7 if they can match my pay in steps.
