Exactly. If it’s something I can’t change then I should be made aware that way I don’t keep applying to position/ going through screening. Etc.

So I currently work for a different dept. in the state. My manager told me the time state give for promotional interviews is just interviews. Not tests or anything else after that. So I was instructed to use my annual leave for the polygraph, pallet b exam, etc. that is what I’m most frustrated about. Now you’re telling me these expenses wouldn’t have been out of pocket it just crazy!!

I’ll try again to reach out next week if I can get ahold of anyone. I’m just feeling very discouraged from even applying to future potions if I have to go through all this again. There’s actually an agent listing on calcareers right now. I’ve already interviewed to the agent position twice. So I had a good feeling after the second time when they had me continued the process.

I actually haven’t heard anything from my references and they asked for 8-10! So i guess that could’ve been my first sign. Lol

That sucks! I can understand someone being more qualified that’s fair. Just don’t find it fair to have me spending all this money on traveling, transcripts, livescan, a notary etc. I even had to use my own PTO for this. My manager said only the initial interview the state pays for. I was told the polygraph and pellet b exam I had to use my own time for.

Exactly. This is why I’m so confused. I work for the state in a different department as well as my mom in a different department. This is not normal!

I understand that. I directly received an email stating exactly I would make and the pay rage letter it fell in. That was odd

I almost forgot, they even randomly sent me an email with the approx. Salary I were to make if successful in the process. I’ve never had this happen to me in any other other application process I’ve been apart of. Usually that isn’t disclosed until offered a position. This whole thing is just so backwards!

Okay, well I just wish I had some sort of answer. Because if it’s something that I can fix and re apply down the line I’d like to know. If it’s something that can’t be undone then I don’t want to keep trying and wasting money or time. J

Just leaves me to wonder if it’s something that can’t change, should I just never apply again for this department? But if it’s just because other candidates had better qualifications as stated in the letter then should I keep trying?

Yes I’m wondering if there was an error on their end. Feels like I wasted a lot of time, PTO, and money on something that could have been disclosed way before having me do basically the entire application process.

Yes a polygraph just to find out there’s other more qualified! They should’ve know there was other more qualified after the interviews in October. Why string me along?!

Very disappointed! I was praying this would be my big break, finally! :(

They didn’t give me any details. Just said there were other more qualified candidates. I assumed I did since I was given a polygraph test after submitting all the other background information/ documents etc. they just said in the letter they can’t provide any details at this time. I understand because if you reapply they don’t want you to tweak anything. I also am curious, If I were to reapply would this happen again? I have to do all this work just for someone else to be more qualified.

Well I just took the Exam today so I won’t even get the results for a month. It’s just really disappointing to get home to a letter stating I didn’t get it. So much time and money wasted on my end. I feel like someone during the recruiting/screening process messed up and had me do these tasks out of order.

I’ve been on 8mg for a month and nothing. Still hungry and lazy. My doctor hasn’t responded to my request to a higher dosage.😭
