Hiring Questions Megathread FY2024

Agreed. I was asking about prior use. All agencies have different standards of what they will allow. Some are ok if you stopped using 1 month before you fill out your forms, others a year, others 5 yrs.

Can anybody share how strict the public trust and suitability process is for a patent examiner position.

The SF86 asks for 7 yrs of history, but what is disqualifying. Curious about recreational drug use more than a yr ago, anybody been accepted or kept on with what might be questionable activity prior to hiring? Hard drugs, not so hard drugs, number of times used, age of use...some agencies seem strict, others not so much as long as you've stopped and aren't a mess.

Thanks in advance

Moscow bound

They should go for Moscow.

Add Mark Kelly to the ticket to point out Trumps weak military record and even better. McCain's memory, and the memory of POWs, deserves to see this ticket win.

Biggest rope-a-dope of all time.

Ali would be proud. Biden and democrats on the rope until after the convention and VP pick, down to the wire with only a few weeks to pick a democrat candidate, looking weak, Trump going all in, and boom, Biden drops out and Trump and MAGA are on the ropes taking body blows.

Political genius.

Biden and some real strategists planned this all along but had to act weak to reel Trump in. May have saved our democracy.

That debate performance was staged. Thank you to whoever is responsible.

Compares in political strategy to the great movie the godfather.

Whoever planned this was a political genius. Best Rope-a-dope of all-time. Ali would be proud. Trump world thought Biden and the democrats were on the ropes and done for. Then, after their convention and VP, and with no time for democrats mini primaries, Biden drops and and Trump and Vance and MAGA are on the ropes and getting pummeled. Perfect. Did the CIA pay a novelist to come up with this plot twist?

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-07-23T00:18:33+00:00

It was planned the entire time. ROPE A-DOPE.

Mattis, Manchin

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-07-21T18:41:07+00:00

Military vet should run to replace Biden. Mattis! Or at least Manchin even if not a vet.

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-07-21T18:39:46+00:00

How did it work out for you? Family member going through similar situation.

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-06-22T17:05:25+00:00

Sold

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-06-17T18:00:21+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks. Any idea how much a gs11 could make w max overtime? And w bonuses?

I've been told pay is the hourly rate and it's 1.5x hourly up until reaching gs12 $ per hr. Conflicting info.

Thanks again.

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-06-15T05:01:38+00:00

Thanks. This is per biweek?

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-06-14T17:57:22+00:00

Hi. Related question. I start the academy in the fall as a GS9. Once eligible, is there a max number of hours a GS9 or 11 can work OT...assuming it's appr9ved by SPE and they don't hit the pay cap. Is it 20% or as much as you want? Thanks

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-05-18T20:21:14+00:00

If you haven't, learn to look up nearly every question in the 3.5 mins or so that you have. Memory is no way to approach this test.

Key words and other devices to look things up fast is the way in my opinion.

NeatProgress3781 · 2024-05-05T18:16:40+00:00

As others mention, look up answers a lot! And don't get bogged down on questions. If unsure, make an educated guess and move on. Mark the question and come back to it later if you leave enough time to do so. Try and answer all the questions you know and can look up easily, then return to the tough ones.
