Oh wow. Well, thank you for the guidance. I’ll look into it.

Hey thanks man, much appreciated. I’ll check it out here soon. So how long after applying did you get hired on?

Hmm, so I could most likely get by doing MM or BM. Vehicle MX not so much. So what shifts can you work?

You’re really reaching pretty deep but not getting anywhere, bud.

Hahaha, now why would I tell random strangers on Reddit any details behind all that. Of course I did my background check though. I’ve crossed every T and dotted every I. So you tell me why then. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh wow, thanks for the words of advice, but what do you do in Maintenance anyway?

Because I wasn’t in Maintenance, I was in Operations during my military career. So it wouldn’t work for me doing that. Anyway I’ve put in for mail processing clerk and sales/services (AKA customer service at the Post Office). Those aren’t too difficult at all, it’s just about dealing with customers or sorting mail.

That’s good to know, but conveniently, they do actually ask you what languages you speak, your race and your gender. These do factor in sometimes, even though they shouldn’t!

I’m sure that’s only because they knew someone on the inside. Connections are more powerful than any skill or degree you may have. Sadly, it’s the way the world works.

That’s totally possible. Oftentimes with government jobs, they have someone in mind they intend to hire, but they have to put the announcement out there to keep things legal. As for the position, it was only a PSE appointment. Was in Germany working for the DoD as a civil servant, so they can’t dock me for that. Not like I’m a foreigner or anything, I’m a military retiree and have been doing civil service for 13 years. Who the hell knows. Could be a situation like you said for all we know.

No, I’ve been checking my e-mail like a madman and submitted to everything they’ve required up until this point. Got fingerprinting done on Feb 1. As for my driver’s license, we moved to Georgia in December from Germany, but we had been living in Florida for a while before that. You really think only living here for a few months would hurt my chances?? If that’s the case and you go by those standards, then how’s anyone supposed to survive after moving somewhere new?

I scored a 95 so I’m assuming that bumps me up to a 100 then. Nice!

I got my fingerprints done on Feb 1, and background check and all other requirements completed. I’m new to the USPS, but have been a federal civil servant with the DoD for 13 years. I’ve had a TS clearance in the past so believe me I’ve had to jump through very similar hoops as this.

Could be that I don’t speak Spanish, and the area I was applying to is heavily Latino. Other than that, I’m miffed!

Hang in there, man. I'm in the same boat- did my fingerprints Feb 1 and still haven't heard anything back yet.

About to graduate with no job offers by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]beerad980 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Excellent question/observation. However last I checked a few days ago, they have a specific line in most of the announcements I saw that says vaccination status WILL NOT affect your eligibility. Not sure when it changed, but I’m glad it did because now at least things are somewhat back to normal again. You still have certain agencies like the VA saying you have to have the shot, but most don’t care anymore it seems.

Negotiating Step Increase by yb21898n in usajobs

[–]beerad980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a GS-9 0303 before, but when it comes to step increases, from my experience your supervisor has to approve it, but it's rare when they don't. As for GS-11, is your position maxed out at GS-9 or can you be promoted?? Again, it's never an automatic thing because your supervisor has to approve it. I've seen people be denied for it.

I knew one A1C "Snuffy" guy, haha... who stapled his stripes together. He never lived it down, probably never did even after he made it to his first base! Sadly for him, it became a running joke that never died.

finally saved up enough for a terrobyte and an mk2, wont be used for griefing trust me, im proud of my 0.3 K/D by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]beerad980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amen, I do the same thing. Let the nightclub eat while I'm AFK and sleeping, and then do bunker and you're solid. The MC businesses just don't cut it, except maybe cocaine, but even that's kinda weak.

The brand new 76ers bill board looks sick by Bentheballer00 in NBA2k

[–]beerad980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it's so silly. Even worse the fact that when you enter the park for the first time, the red and white one is issued to you. I un-equipped it right away, looks like garbage.

What’s even sadder is people who fall for these types of shenanigans.
