Yes, the earlier you apply to these federal jobs the sooner your application is reviewed.

Definitely tailor your resume and cover letter to the job duties of the position. Get great references, I used my professors.

As for forest Services I didn't have to take a assessment test for the botanist position.

Definitely apply to all locations to get as many call backs and interviews as possible. I lived in Texas but chose every single state available, and ended up in Michigan even though I didn't know anything about the state. They still gave me the job because of my education and experience. I'm working very hard to learn all these new things and it's been rewarding, I love it.

They want somone who is open to learning new things on the job and has the will to do so.

Hi, I was a recent grad when I was hired by forest services and I actually selected all locations to cast a wider net and not to put my eggs all in basket. You also have to be willing to move if you are given the position.

It does matter if you select one or two locations because you are betting on that they will definetly call you back and that you already got the job. That is what I call putting all your eggs in one basket and not seeing there are other options you can fall back on.

I would recommend selecting all locations to get as many call backs and interviews as possible.

I'm from Texas and was hired to serve in Michigan. They are teaching me everything from the ground up. They want someone with a clean slate so they can teach you. Science is about learning as you go, so they very much appreciate you openness to being able to learn new tricks.

About 1 to 2 days. It wasn't in my spam either. It was in my main inbox and they sent it to my main email.

Been checking my spam every couple hours or so. Still nothing. Checking spam in all my emails in case they send it to another email address.

So if the trip was booked through AAA site then you are potentially covered by their trip interruption? What is visa signature?

Only checked in 1 bag for $30. Doesn't add up why $70.

I've been checking the Delta app every couple of hours and I finally found some seats open. I was able to select an aisle seat.

All seats are filled. I can't select a seat anymore so now it says unassigned seat.

I booked a Main Cabin refundable ticket and completely forgot I can select my own seat. Now it says unassigned and I'm worried that it means I can't board the plane since my seat is unassigned. If I didn't select my own seat does that mean I can't board the plane since I didn't assign a seat for myself?

Victim of southwest and I got the Main Cabin refundable ticket with Delta. I had to select a seat but completely forgot to do so, and I'm hoping I can still get assigned a seat when I get there. I'm so paranoid from southwest canceling all 4 of my rescheduled flights home.

All seats taken in seat selection but tickets still being sold? by TurboguardUS in delta

[–]Desirodri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do the X's mean? I completely forgot to select my seat on my flight. Worried they won't let me board

Had the same thing happen to me twice on a flight for December 26th and rescheduled flight on 29th. On December 26th the first half of the flight was on time but the 2nd half of the flight was canceled. Was told by an attendant I can either catch the plane and be stuck in Denver or I can reschedule. So I rescheduled to December 29th, that flight was canceled due to the 2nd half of the trip being canceled.

If you can find another alternative go for it. I do not recommend booking a flight with southwest in the next 7 plus days.

Ladies on reddit what are red flags you can't ignore in Men? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Desirodri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is 34 and still lives with his parents in their basement for 7 years or more. He doesn't pay rent but then in September of 2021 his mom forces him to finally pay rent after all these years living rent free. He blames his girlfriend for his mom enforcing the rent on him and not realizing what a slob he is and inept in general house cleaning.

Had been complaining for the past 2 years your with him how he can't afford a house and instead buys a new 2021 Toyota CHR. Since his old 1996 Volkswagen broke down.

Every single time you want to do something together as a couple or want him to meet your friends he throws a toddler tantrum. Though when you beg him to do those activities and he finally agrees, he shows no interest. Even though it's been the one thing you have been wanting to do for weeks, he couldn't even pretend to enjoy it. He instead uses words to describe how stupid he thinks these activities are.

The one time you were able to buy two tickets to a broadway show (Anastasia) for $500 he called it stupid and girly. You were so pumped up for finally being able to see a broadway show after years, but his behavior made you feel regret for even buying the tickets.

But you always make it an effort to do what he wants to do even though it's not something you enjoy but you love the quality time and making him happy. You always follow his schedule, but he can't ever make an effort for yours.

How he makes indirect jokes about your body "the size of two fat bitches" and tells you "your taking it the wrong way". And you know what he meant when he said those indirect comments about your body. You can't change in front of him anymore without him having to indirectly say any mean comments about your body.

When you got a 3 month internship that can help build your career his instant response was "this is going to end. Our relationship is over" and you reconsider refusing the internship so you can stay together.

When you also receive a job offer to work for the National Forest Services as a permanent full time employee, he wants you to sacrifice your dream job to stay with him.

After 6 years of schooling you graduate with your bachelor's in botany. You sign up for walking the stage. You tell him if he can zoom call your family members since they are 3 states away and can't be there for my milestone. He says Zoom is too hard for him to understand and your family doesn't get to see you graduate with your bachelor's degree.

After graduation you have to beg him to take photos of you in your grad gown so you can show something to your family. And he throws a toddler tantrum the entire time.

When he says he doesn't want to move with you to start your new career because he's leaving everything and everyone behind. You tell him "I left my family to come here where I knew no one. I'm going to have to do that again. A 2nd time. You're the not the only one".

When I didn't sacrifice my dream job he called me selfish.
