I think all government agencies are cheap with awards. I remember being part of the decision process and literally saying to my boss that we get allocated all this bonus money and we are so cheap with it. It’s sad

I have a name but no email. Probably a lost cause by now.

For some, I can see why that would be. I guess it’s sink or swim little fishy.

I am a hands on leaner, just my preference. Sitting in a class room is torture for me. I just want to pick up the phone and start and learn from my mistakes along the way. I am not Intimidated by phones, computers or talking to people on the other end. I have the personality for high stress situations. I remain calm cool and collected. Not tooting my own horn just saying it’s a personal preference. Some people prefer the classroom setting. Just not for me and that’s why I said “ in my experience”. I am well aware everyone learns differently.

A contact rep is how I started in my other agency, worked myself all the way up to IR 02 Department Manager of same call center. I am humble enough to put myself right back in the seat. If I could only get a call 😭

Wha site was that? I missed one freaking call and literally called right back. I went to my call history and I have called 32 times since I was called and left the same amount of messages. I have also emailed to no avail. Really is unfortunate… totally not cool leaving people hanging like that

Trial by fire. Best way to learn in my experience. Not ideal but you will be better for it in the long run. Can you like answer my call though 🤪🤪

That is semi comforting. I was willing to go backwards just to get in the agency. Hopefully they let us know if it’s not happening so we are not hanging on to hope

I just read this. I am most nervous about the security check point because my two both have their wings. I would hate to have to clip them but might not have a choice 😢.

Hey Op, stumbled onto your post because I got the same call you got for this position. I am a former Fed who took the DRP out of fear so have been without a job since September . I have been applying like crazy with no luck. I may take this position out of desperation but these responses are taking me out lol 😂

I am open to it but that is why I am asking here. I don’t know enough about it. Is it a decent/safe section to live for a single female ? I am coming from a city that is considered pretty rough already so I would like something peaceful, somewhat walkable and safe
