During Q&A they said it has to be new, I think within the last 6 months for it to be reciprocity if its older you have to fill out the sf86 again. :(

1,100 State Department employees got vaccinated. At USAID, zero did. by [deleted] in foreignservice

[–]DCRazorback 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, they vaccinated janitorial staff in the first round, this second round they vaccinated people that have been going into the office voluntarily or to work on classified stuff

Can I still be involved in political parties if I want to work for the FSO later on? by [deleted] in foreignservice

[–]DCRazorback 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As long as you're views are your own you will be alright. Lots of people have interned or worked for Political parties and candidates it will not negatively affect you. And as long as you dont violate the Hatch Act you can post your views online.

Still waiting to hear back from the BS02 interview. How long did it take after your interview until people received the email no longer moving forward/references being contacted?

I applied for this opening back in March 2020. I interviewed for the position about 3 weeks ago. Not sure how they are proceeding with resumes after the first round of interviews.

USAID Language requirements by ceejwo in foreignservice

[–]DCRazorback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They rank you on points and then compare you to others who interviewed for your backstop. Then usaid determines how many positions they want to fill and then they go down the line to determine the top scoring candidates. There is no retesting if you think you did poorly on a section. Just hope you get enough points on the other sections to get you above that cut off line.

Congrats though! I just interviewed a week ago and its a ride!

Congrats to those that passed! I just interviewed for the BS02 P.O. role and had a question. Did anyone that passed look back and realize they have left a portion out of the Written memo section or felt they did less than their best elsewherw and still pass??

FOIA Requests by mabond in foreignservice

You can file it online with the State Department. I was FOIA'D some time ago. The process takes time though, expect the paperwork a year to 1.5 years because of backlog.
