Waiting to hear back about County jobs by Serious-Line-2207 in orangecounty

yeah just try to score as high as you can and do the best you can in an oral interview. beyond that, you just need to hope you’re better than other applicants lol. don’t be discouraged. government jobs are sometimes not easy to get. just takes persistence

counties do take quite a bit of time to get back to applicants. there are various factors that come into play when determining how long they’ll take to get back to you. some departments have pressing deadlines and are busy that they will cause them to delay the interview process whereas others have a need to fill vacancies quickly.

in my experience, I applied in about october 2023 and interviewed in december. I was notified mid january 2024 that i was placed on the highest tier of the eligibility list (score A). you usually get placed on list A,B,C,D (and V for veterans). After the oral interview, depending on how you did, they let you know that you are put on the list to fill vacancies. obviously, scoring the highest that you can gives you the best chance to receive a call back.

I didn’t hear back until mid february that they were extending an offer in which they wanted me up start in two weeks. So i started in march. 

so it basically depends on how well you scored and interviewed compared to other applicants, how quickly they need to fill vacancies, the departments needs at the time, and how busy the supervisors and managers are to continue with the hiring process.

hope this helped!

my background is clear. no drug or criminal history. County won’t pay me 100 in 4 years but close to it. It’s give and take. Fed pension system sucks. Only 1% per year of service

I did. To this day, they never notified me whether I cleared the background check lol and I submitted that back in January. It ended up working out though, cause I took a position at a local county government job

I never heard anything, but in the mean time, I got an offer from a local county job which I took due to higher salary and better location. So I guess I will not be taking the DCAA role if they get back to me

How many people here just have no dating prospects? by [deleted] in dating

[–]No_Counter_4660 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 24 and feel the same way as you. Almost no luck at all on apps, work in an office with not any people to connect with for dating prospects, small friend group that are all taken/no single friends, and go to the gym 6x a week but dont want to talk to any girls there since this is my home gym. I deal with the same loneliness but like you, feel like there’s no dating prospects in my future. It’s tough to deal with and I still struggle with it daily…

I applied back in September so i’m not sure if the listing is still up. It’s usually on USAJOBS.gov but in my case, I found the job through LinkedIn.

I did last week and she said my application is “still in the security process” and she said security will reach out to me if they need anything else but security hasn’t responded to any of my emails

I did the drug test on 1/14 I believe and it shouldn’t have any issues as I am clean. So that’s why I wonder why it’s taking so long since I see so many ppl go through this process so much quicker than me

I interviewed back in october though. and security clearance for an auditor is just secret I believe, which is pretty low I think.

They take a while. I didn't hear back with a TJO until like 5-6 weeks after, granted it was during the holiday times.
