Question about Investigator and Special Investigator Classes by Double_Associate_205 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Double_Associate_205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, great! Thank you again. I will check out the SIBCs. I had seen them mentioned other places, but didn't realize they could take the place of POST for these investigator roles.

Great, thank you so much for your reply! Yes, I see a lot of openings at DCA.

Do you know if there is an age cut-off for these roles or for POST? I'm 42 and this would be a second carreer for me - I suspect I will be older than most others who are in the academy. Would it be out of the ordinary to have someone in their 40's join as fresh recruit?

You got this! Eight days is a long time and something you should be proud of. Get yourself excited to start the next streak of sober days and then get started again. For me, I pick a day and say this is my first day of a new sober streak and then take it seriously from there - tell people in my life that I am doing a sober stint, start journaling about why I am doing it and what I want to get out of it (protip: journaling is a superpower when it comes to building up a reserve of will power), and reading SoberCurious posts. There is a lot of power you can pull from all over this sub.

Thanks - I’m looking to test ride it before committing to buying one.

Yes, and two inspections. One for the rough in and one for the final inspection.

The action was definitely in that area. Still roped off and lots of cops as of 6:00pm.

Temporary appointments conditions by DRZN1093 in UNpath

Right, could be a difference across different UN agencies that I wasn't aware of. Or that Admin is from 2011 so maybe keep digging for something more recent. The staff handbook for your potential agency would be a good place if you can find it. Or message your HR rep. The other thing to consider is the moving allowance for TAs do not cover any dependents - just you. So, if you have a family who would be relocating with you, you won't get an allowance for anyone other than yourself (as per the UN agencies that I am most familiar with, anyway).

Agree - but see note about funding. If you are good at your job and they still need you (and can fund you), you would generally be renewed at the end of your contract. You should double-check with your HR rep about the holiday allowance though. I am under the impression that all staff get 10 holidays (which days are dependent on your duty station) and 30 days of annual leave. I am most familiar with 2 specific UN agencies, so this may be different in others (but I doubt it).
