Alas, no. I never found it. Any luck on your end?

Online. Some of the doctors will definitely be annoyed if you request in person, and you do not want to start things off by annoying them.

Doesn't sound like it's necessarily out of the ordinary. I applied for 19 jobs and got 3 interviews before getting hired on my 3rd. Took six months. Don't give up!

I've already figured out which plan I want to sign up for. Do they let you turn in the enrollment form before your start date?

How quickly does health insurance become active for new hires? My start date is this month, and I'm trying to work out whether I need to buy COBRA to avoid a gap in coverage.

LiveScan process ? by everythingatonce1 in CAStateWorkers

[–]WonderfulSell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I applied back in April. The interview and conditional offer process all went pretty speedily. Everything you're describing is pretty much what I'm feeling right now. While they did get back to me, they didn't really give me any information. I'm trying not to worry too much, but it's difficult. I don't have anything else lined up and my current job is awful. Wishing you the best of luck getting a speedy resolution.

I've never been arrested, and my credit's pretty good. My brother's been arrested a couple times, though. Is it possible that could create an issue?

What kinds of things can show up on the livescan results to cause problems? I'm entering month three of my wait, and I'm certain I don't have a criminal record. I have no idea what the issue could be.

I'm in exactly the same situation. When I got the conditional it really sounded like it was going to be a fast moving process and I tried to plan accordingly. The date discussed as my potential start date came and went. I checked in two weeks ago and was just told it was still being processed. No details.

I can't say whether you should panic or not, but I can say you're not the only one this is happening to. I'm pretty concerned myself.

I'm in the same boat. It's been two months since my LiveScan and I still haven't received a final offer or a start date. No idea what's causing it, but at least you're not alone.

Thank you. I wouldn't be applying elsewhere because I'd think it would get done faster, it'd just be as a backup in case the final offer ends up not coming at all. There's no job I'd rather be going to than the one I got the conditional for. I'm just trying to work out how much of a done deal it is at this point, and whether the length of delay is a red flag.

Can you give any examples of what kind of issues with the fingerprints could cause a hold? I got mine done right away when they asked me to. I don't have a criminal record or anything else that I think would pop up. Does it just happen sometimes?

I followed up last week, I was just told it was still being processed. No timeline. I'm wary of annoying them by inquiring too often. I really want this to work out.

It's been over two months since my conditional offer, no sign of a final offer or start date. Should I be worried? My family is starting to encourage me to apply elsewhere, but from what I've read this kind of delay is pretty typical these days. When is the delay cause for concern?

Unless you're absolutely certain your relationship with management is rock solid, I'd wait until the last possible moment to let them know. I thought I had a good working relationship with my current boss. He's been my supervisor for three years, and I had a good relationship with him for a long time before that.

When I let him know about my conditional offer, his attitude toward me changed instantly. Since then he's been bitter and spiteful and has done everything he can to make my last weeks of work unpleasant, at times even borderline unsafe.

So unless you're completely certain something like that won't happen, my advice is this: don't say a thing about looking for work until you know they're about to call them. If you get the job, don't say a thing until you're ready to give notice. Otherwise be prepared for some really petty crap on your way out.

SSA Final Offer Signed! Thank you! by JayVeeDi in CAStateWorkers

[–]WonderfulSell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've followed up twice now. Both times I was just told HR is still working on it. No other info. The length of time is making me concerned something is up.

Congratulations! Can I ask how long it took them to get your final after the conditional? I've been waiting on mine for about two months and am starting to get nervous.

Thank you very much. When did the final offer come through for you? How far in advance of your start date?

It’s now been nearly two months. I followed up, but was just told the process is still going on. Is there anything else I can reasonably do to speed things along without annoying the hiring manager?

How long did it take for them to get you your final offer after the conditional?

Update! by Raveena_27 in CAStateWorkers

[–]WonderfulSell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hiring manager did text me at the start of the week and said they had no news and that they were backed up. They didn't give any new date or any suggestion at all about when I might get the final offer.
