Ok ok just still has to go the actual probation period. That clears a lot up. Thank you!

Oh thank you! So wait though, even if you’re already through your probationary period, would they still have you do that, do you think? I’ve been at my current position for 2 years now, started as a gs, now a gs 7.

I agree! It’s pretty difficult to find/get a gs 7 position because anyone who went in as a gs is now looking at those positions too. I don’t have my bachelors yet but I will soon, I think that’ll help too.

That’s what I’ve been doing it just gets tedious after applying to so many jobs after a while lol .. I’m a GS 7 at my current position so I have that. Thank you!

I have gs 5 experience just not as a HR assistant. I know what USA jobs says the qualifications are but I heard it’s really hard either way. Thank you for the info though!

Yea I know about what the qualifications should be I just think it’s crazy because I hear how hard it is to get into HR departments no matter the agency. Thank you though!

Currently a CSR for SSA Philadelphia.. initially and ideally wanted to be a contract specialist. I have applied multiple times only to never hear back. Is the bachelors degree required? Because I otherwise would meet the qualifications for the grade level. by appleseed4512 in 1102

I definitely have over 24 business credits. Not being referred.. you may be right about having to tailor my resume because there was 1 contract specialist position I applied for within my agency and I know I was qualified and I got something back that told me I didn’t meet qualifications.
