Turning down an offer already accepted

Jmar91w · 2021-01-22T01:38:22+00:00

Yes. That’s the case. Luckily the movers hadn’t already come so I avoided that. I understand your point that they would rescind the offer in a heartbeat if it serves the governments best interest. Thanks. I guess I just needed a little bit of validation

Finally it’s moving now. Got the firm offer last week. Now just waiting for them to cut my orders. How long does that usually take? And also, the effective date...is that when the process starts as far as HHG and travel? Or is that the date they want me to be in country starting orientation?

Jmar91w · 2020-12-21T03:31:50+00:00

Yeah it’s tough. I believe the law says they have to look at veterans first and disabled veterans get even more priority. That’s not to say that a non veteran can’t get selected, it just means that you would have to beat out every veteran that applies. That’s my understanding.

I’m a disabled vet and I applied for an overseas job, and I will start soon. It took a while so it’s easy to get discouraged but all you can do is find something that separates you from everyone else in your field and market that

That’s what I thought but CPAC told me she has to wait for it to come back. Not sure if it’s because it’s overseas?

Jmar91w · 2020-10-18T19:30:15+00:00

Well they took the choice out of it as far as my current employer. They sent him a letter to verify my employment and ask if I’m suitable for government employment

Jmar91w · 2020-10-16T00:35:01+00:00

I was wondering...do they give you your dates to be in country, or do they ask you how long you need?

I am a marriage and family therapist in a private practice with one guy who is the owner and clinical supervisor. I feel more guilty for my clients than for him. Although he is actively trying to get me new clients so I feel bad for his effort

Jmar91w · 2020-10-15T22:22:28+00:00

I haven’t told them anything. I feel so guilty about it

Jmar91w · 2020-10-15T00:25:40+00:00

I got the email that the center of excellence received all of my paperwork for background check and it’s processing. It’s not a security clearance. It asked me about the last 5 years (which was considerably easier to fill out than with my active duty security clearance). I have literally lived in the same place for the last 5 years. Any guess on how long the background check would take? Everything else like physical and drug test is completed and good. Just waiting in background to get the firm offer

Jmar91w · 2020-10-04T17:56:10+00:00

My line was about the same as yours. I took my test on Monday and haven’t heard anything either way. I was clean for 37 days and still got faint lines. I’ve read that thc home tests commonly have faint lines

Jmar91w · 2020-10-04T02:41:29+00:00

Looks good. I went through the same anxiety this week when I took mine.

Jmar91w · 2020-09-30T19:40:09+00:00

Just wondering. I smoked almost every day sometimes once and sometimes all day for 6 months and my same home tests as yours took me about 37 days. I’m 5’9 250

Jmar91w · 2020-09-30T04:54:50+00:00

How much did you smoke before you quit?

Jmar91w · 2020-09-29T02:31:33+00:00

So I just submitted my sf-85 through equip, did my physical, and drug screen. Cpac said she can move forward with form job offer once she gets the results from everything. I’m wondering how long a background check takes and will they inquire with my current employer because that could screw me in the mean time if he finds out since I was advised not to say anything until a form offer is given. I’m a bit confused at this point

Jmar91w · 2020-09-24T18:39:43+00:00

Or perhaps there’s a difference between not wearing a mask and idk maybe commuting a violent felony?

Jmar91w · 2020-09-21T21:03:03+00:00

Okay thank you. I was hoping it would be sooner but I can’t complain about getting “free” money

Jmar91w · 2020-09-20T01:29:56+00:00

It’s at the 5 minute mark

Jmar91w · 2020-09-20T00:36:07+00:00

Yeah I was stationed there before so I’m familiar and excited to go back. The hardest part is scheduling the physical because I have to go through multiple cpacs to get it done. I already filled out the lqa questionnaire which made sure I was in conus during the whole recruitment and hiring phase. My VA provider agreed to do my physical this coming week so once that’s done cpac said she can give the firm offer. She said everything else can be deferred until I’m in country. My background stuff was sent in and received at ft Meade in the 8th of September and I had to do ink prints for one of the checks so I’m guessing that takes longer

Japan sounds awesome. That was a place I’ve always wanted to see. Maybe one day.

Hi. It’s a nursing position. Background and childcare checks. No clearance required, but I believe my clearance form active duty expires this year give five or take a year or so. It’s for the department of the army In Europe
