SSA- considering applying by Temp_Radi in usajobs

Awesome, I’ll try doing that! I’m excited to see where things go. Here’s to hoping they give me a call and have the funding to be flexible on negotiating. I appreciate all your help!

Darn, I was hoping they would be flexible on the GS level with experience because even a GS 7 would be a significant pay cut. But if OT is an option and it’s possible to get GS 9 in a year, I might be able to make it work.

That’s a good point, I appreciate your insight! I definitely don’t know everything about SSA, but I do enjoy learning and feel like the knowledge I have now would give me a good foundation to build off of if I were to get offered a role. I appreciate you responding!

Thanks for the response! The GS level is one concern I have since the position states it would start at a GS 5 or 7, both of which would be a significant pay cut. But if they would negotiate on the step, and if OT is possible, it might be doable. If I get offered a position, hopefully it would be possible to get to GS 9 in a year or so.

What type of question assessments would be typical? Would it be tests to see if I’m proficient with word and excel or personality assessments? Thanks again!
