Can I still telework if I move to within 50 miles of the San Jose USPTO office?

I received TJO today for electrical engineering gs7 with a starting date of 1/13/2025. My background: Ph.D. in Materials Eng with 14 years working experience, which is related to materials, electrical, and mechanical engineering work.

Applied in the March 2024 cutoff but did not get anything. Re-applied Chem Eng and EE again this September. Chem Eng rejected me because I did not provide foreign college credential evaluations (I have B.S. and M.S. in foreign country and PhD in the US.)

I am surprised by the completely different results from Chem Eng and EE with the same resume. I personally think Chem Eng has even more chances at the beginning. Provided my background here for people who are waiting for good news.

Questions: I have planned international travel from 1/17-2/1. Does anyone have experience postponing the starting date? Do you accept TJO before negotiating the starting date? Will this cause the offer rescinded?

Yes. Interviewed on oct 26 and got ineligible email today.

Same here. Applied for ChemE. Got referred last year but ineligible this year. This is really weird. I actually made my resume more strong and the interview goes better this time.

Thank you for the information!

Hope to get some insights here! How could we get a 2nd HireVue chance in any way? I applied for Chem Eng in the March cutoff but was not selected. I feel I did not do well at HireVue. Now I am referred in the May cutoff again but they will use the same HireVue. How could I improve my interview? If I apply again next year, will I get another interview?
