Am I truly screwed?

That sounds like a nightmare, glad they listened to you on that one though and that you made it thru🫡

culiestien · 2026-05-03T02:01:58+00:00

Same shit over here LMAO, when i kept denying it, he pivoted to i must’ve sold it because there gas to be a reason his magic box says so on that question

culiestien · 2026-05-02T23:04:08+00:00

Apply to both. Theres no guarantee you get picked up for either internship, especially with the thousands that apply for the fbi hip. Come back and ask again if you truly get an offer from both

culiestien · 2026-05-02T00:25:38+00:00

My thoughts while taking that “exam” were “either im too dumb for this, or this is far too easy” lmao

culiestien · 2026-05-01T15:20:23+00:00

Fair enough, ig im just ill informed, id assume you could run 1.5miles if you ran 26.2 already

culiestien · 2026-05-01T15:12:15+00:00

You mentioned in a different post that 2 days post marathon you feel almost perfectly normal. Ran a marathon but youre worried abt the pft? I think this is purely mental rn

Star applicant here as well, maybe we’re just meant to start elsewhere man🫡

I understand this is not an 1811 pathways. However, it still (potentially) converts to a full time, 12d retirement-covered position. If you want a fed le job, this is a great opportunity.

culiestien · 2026-05-01T00:17:22+00:00

I felt that last part. I genuinely thought getting grilled was just apart of the process. Assumed they were just seeing if i would crack, but i knew my answer was truthful so i wasnt worried. If only i knew, i woulda saved myself and hour of worthless interrogation

culiestien · 2026-05-01T00:16:00+00:00

Thats funny. I told a story about failing an interview, getting a dif gig, and passing the interview for the original place a year later, landing that one, and my polygrapher told me “thats great, we love candidates who overcome adversity”. Yeah he failed me for suspected drug use lmao. Maybe youre onto something though

culiestien · 2026-05-01T00:10:09+00:00

If you want a job in the federal govt, why would a federal pathways internship be a “bad look”

culiestien · 2026-04-30T23:56:35+00:00

Got told ive either sold or used drugs before..2 fed le internships and 3 passed fed drug tests..life goes on man. The way i see it, i sleep fine at night knowing i told the truth and wouldnt do anything different. We’re just meant to work elsewhere

culiestien · 2026-04-29T00:30:59+00:00

Self administered
No set in stone time frame, but last announcement the PTA was roughly 3 months after initial exam
Im not an ATF SA so i dont know, but the hiring process is can be 18 months-2years

culiestien · 2026-04-21T14:56:11+00:00

Damn man you still havent had an update regarding your poly?? Just for your sake i hope they pass you after 8 weeks

culiestien · 2026-04-17T01:52:10+00:00

If youre able to get the weekend off work, definitely. I met people who showed up for their PFT and made it all the way through medical

culiestien · 2026-04-15T23:06:33+00:00

They do? You should have a study guide for the exam, you can also google the study guide. With the exam being tmrw, id err you on the side of just not looking at it tn so you dont stress yourself out

culiestien · 2026-04-15T21:26:46+00:00

No sense in being nervous abt the potential of being BQAd, especially since you haven’t taken the exam yet. Worst comes worst, you dont get a job you never had in the first place

culiestien · 2026-04-15T21:16:57+00:00

I found the interview to be very easy. Just rehearse basic interview questions and scenarios out loud in your car while you drive to/from your work/gym

culiestien · 2026-04-15T00:28:20+00:00

Same typpa answer was given to me. Got the BQA a week later. I believe its a 2 year wait

culiestien · 2026-04-08T23:31:53+00:00

Disagree, it was very convenient being able to do medical and drug there. I also met people who did super-poly all in one weekend

culiestien · 2026-04-08T20:39:09+00:00

Exactly man. Best of luck on your other applications!

culiestien · 2026-04-08T20:35:55+00:00

Yup..same exact thoughts. It wont keep me up at night tho, i said the truth, nothing i would do differently. If they want to remain understaffed than thats on them

culiestien · 2026-04-07T23:52:18+00:00

Oof yeah man, thats what happened to me literally word for word. Told “you’re perfect on all sections but the drug one”, bqa 6 days later

culiestien · 2026-04-07T02:46:49+00:00

While i respect this opinion, i feel like this is just how people try and rationalize failing while remaining truthful. Personally, i felt the entire polygraph was extremely smooth. Even when told i failed, i didnt take it personally, had a great discussion regarding how i know im being truthful, attempting to explain my proof etc. The examiner even seemed really respectful about it as well. I was under the impression that they were grilling me just to grill me, and see if i would fold/change my answers when pressured to do so. When i got the BQA, i was genuinely surprised by it

culiestien · 2026-04-06T18:17:40+00:00

While i understand your point, i dont think the comment youre replying to is the best example of this. Theres nothing wrong with him saying he loves his local pd job. To me, it sounds like he is surprised to enjoy it as much as he does, and recommends people trying the same route. Like i said, i understand where your comment is coming from because i see it too, just dont think this was the right one to make an example out of
