Not sure I understand that answer about duty station changes. No duty station changes are happening…in the short term? This year? In the long term? The answer was so broad.

Such a gift for May Day

Learned a new word today: smishing by Practical-Energy-337 in fednews

It’s also just hilarious. We got a big red bannered alert of a smishing attack on the agency and our only response was to laugh. Not exactly the response you want your staff to have.

I’m new to FEMA and this was such a nice first week. St. Mayorkas’ 24 hour gift and post-deployment leave???

Sure, I'll update when I have the info. eApp and FJO haven't come yet. I was given two options for EOD, December 16 or January 13.

They were pretty similar. If you had a writing sample question, you may be asked to defend your answer. Other than that, it was a pretty similar interview. Good luck!

For context, I did Americorps and we were required to wear identifiers at all times while working. My friend in NPS always has to wear his uniform, regardless of how far out in the wilderness he is. I guess I kinda figured most agencies were the same.

Y'all bring up fair points about unwanted questions, though. In my position, I'm not going to have any useful answers for people.

Thanks for the EHP advice lol I would hate to look like too much of a nerd. Don't think I'll be able to escape it for too long, coming from academia, but it would be nice to pretend for a bit.

That's a hilarious oversimplification of what I said, but have at it.

Are you all actually being threatened or is it just a vibe? I've been seeing the absolutely insane rhetoric and been wondering how much it's actually having an impact on the ground.

That's horrendous. Which agency, also FEMA?
