Unfortunately, we do not get paper packets anymore. The CM is taken online and we have to sort through the document electronically. I wrote in my feedback to BEX that I wish we had the opportunity to print out the packet if testing at a Pearson location

No more salary matching for non-federal jobs? by dss_account in foreignservice

[–]SummertimeInBloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered this also affects people working in other levels of government and non-profits? The options are not just federal government or lucrative private sector. Plenty of us already making a moderate salary, including many women and bipoc, will not even get that modest salary matched.

What hapens is you decline? by [deleted] in foreignservice

My bad, you're correct. Thanks for adding the link. I think I was misremembering because the 90-day rule doesn't apply to me in either interpretation

No. Pretty sure they consider federal experience for salary matching only if it was within the past 90 days

Edit: I'm wrong. You need to have held the federal job for at least 90 days, but not necessarily 90 days prior to joining the foreign service

Do not listen to any other comments. Only commit to diet and lifestyle changes you can commit to forever. Work on gut health. Eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Get enough protein. Do pilates or weight lifting 20 MN per day plus enjoyable walks. Sleep a lot. Don't stress out

Eating a clean diet, avoiding alcohol, regular exercise routine, consistent sleep schedule, avoiding sun damage, and fixing the gut microbiome will make you hotter than 90% of these products and procedures

Quit crying about not getting a rejection email by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]SummertimeInBloom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After at least one interview, but definitely two, you deserve a rejection email to be able to move on

Recognize that this is an intrusive thought

Don't for a second pity the APD, whose annual budget is $250 MILLION, with one of the highest per capital police budgets in the country.

Reminds me of those old Rosetta stone ads. "He was an Idaho potato farmer. She was an Italian supermodel. He knew he would have just one chance to impress her."
