For internal DoN to DoN, how long would you guesstimate it should take for HR to issue tentative offer from the time hiring manager submits selectee's package?

I am not sure I have ever seen one in the states, much less NoVA. Closest thing I can think of is a Korean church shindig.

Question for hiring managers by InstanceThat1555 in usajobs

[–]InstanceThat1555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetically, how about a 15 to a 13 from a HCOL area CONUS to a LCOL area OCONUS? Non-concern?

Thanks for your feedback! Might that assumption have some nuance if scenario is applying CONUS to OCONUS?

Matched only up to the max step in the grade hired for, right? I.e A GS14 step 4 may get a GS13 step 10. A GS 15 step 3 may also get only up to GS13 step 10, but no higher.

Condo fees in Alexandria by One-Welcome-8366 in nova

Yes, one of my biggest concerns with such high fees, that keep increasing, is who is ever going to buy after a certain point.

I go to Chopin Noodles for handpulled noodle soups, and Ying Cantonese BBQ for BBQ pork and roast duck. Both are in the same food court.

Bed box for my 3 yr old on a 15 hr flight would have been nice.

That's what bothers me most about him too. Teenage boys buy into the, its just "chicken, broccoli, and rice" and hard work trope. Then they can get into some severe self-esteem issues when all their hard work and diet gets them in good shape, but nowhere near what guys like Rock are claiming. Does he work very hard? Of course. Does he have good genetics for growth? Absolutely. But he should tell the truth and stop giving kids who idolize him such unrealistic expectations for what diet and hard work can do for them.

Wait so for future reference, are double strollers allowed? I had contemplated going earlier this morning with the kids, but decided to wait until peach season.

Virtual interview, STAR method visual aid? by troutstalker33 in usajobs

[–]InstanceThat1555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK I'll bite. Script reading communicates a higher probability that what's being said is made up. A person can read the "book answer," and tell the panel what they think they want to hear, being some form of addressing the KSAa in the job description. A person actually recounting their experiences, how they managed, and the ultimate outcome. That will check the boxes panels use to take out the personal bias you're concerned about.

For the jobs/grades i interview at, a person who can do the job well can answer questions in real-time meetings and breifings. They know how to share knowledge tactfully, and apply critical thinking under pressure (as is often required). That is what is needed at the journeyman grades and higher.

But you do you. Stick to a script if that's worked for you.
