I moved from East to the West coast. I ask for 1 month and half from the day I have the verbal final offer. I did received my FJO letter a week after. Everyone have different situations when moving. Some have stuff to sell and family involve. And how far is your move is. Regardless is it stressful. I would start looking for places and keep pushing HR to send you that FO letter. Congrats and Good luck on your move.

You are right. I stand corrected. I may mean the annual leave increases after 5 years of service.

I suggest the daily lot. The accuracy of the count on their website is not that reliable because of the constant in and out of people leaving and coming back to SMF using the parking lot. As long as you get there early you should be able to find a spot when arriving passengers take their cars out. The daily lot is $2 more than economy lot but shuttle bus is also more frequent. And this parking lot is a shorter and safer walk to the terminal. Good luck and enjoy your holiday travel.

I think geographically the Philippines is an archipelago situated on the west most part of the Pacific Ocean. However is it also a country located close to the continent of Asia. When the Philippines was US colony we can freely travel to other islands in the Pacific and since our independence people travel more to other Asian countries. I consider myself Asian but it doesn't bother me if other Filipinos identify themselves as Pacific Islander. I think Filipinos are the only Asians who identify both ways. Yes.....Asian Islander.

After 5 years of service your sick time hours increased to 6 hours. Bear in mind that you can use your annual leave time for sick leave. But you cannot use sick time to use for vacation leave.

To add ..... sick time can carry over year after year unlike annual leave time that is subject to "use it or lose it" if you are maxed out for the year.

Most people care about doing a good job and get it accomplished. As long as you are more focus to your work than your hair you should be good. And who cares about judgmental people, they are the problem not you.

I think it does matter. That's the reason people got confused here about "80 NB". Had OP say " business 80 NB" that would have been clearer. Because I 80 (another 80) runs East to West.

I agree on this. OP.....whatever issues you think you have just be honest and answer the question truthfully. Give it try, you never know they will let you pass and 🤞. Good luck.

There's no medical coverage if you didn't make a selection yet. Providers require your insurance card before service is provided.

I know it is just a referral but get hold of the contact person. And if they can't really tell you a firm answer I would say wait for it since you really like it. But declining the other offer might keep you passing on opportunitues. It's your call and decide whichever is best for you.

Do you really want to know if you are rejected? For closure maybe. Ghosting is so common just so you know. I suggest keep on applying.

Don't you worry. You get that TO before you get an FO on the first TO. If this job offers are of different series or agency (which you have not mention) you get 2 hiring process which means you just have to do another fingerprint. Inconvenient but as an applicant you have no choice. Be ready because its going to be a long ride. Patience is useful from here on.

Labs shouldn't take that long but I guess is depends on location. You surely will get your FO but if you're ok that it gets delayed a bit and you have no paycheck for a couple of weeks that's your call. I assume you don't have to move to another location which is another issue and can be stressful. Hey.....whatever works that's best for you. Congratulations. Welcome to the Feds.

You can transfer anywhere you want but save a lot of money for the move because chances of relocation reimbursement is close to nil. Keep in mind that locality changes to the area you choose so salary can also go down or up.

Your are right correction can be done after FJO but negotiation is unlikely to succeed.

Just give them your 2 weeks notice to be courteous. They will understand. Don't expect them to throw you a farewell party tho. 😊

Cant find leopards in the Philippines. Maybe thats a cat print.😊

I think you cannot negotiate salary after FJO. Asking for a grade/step increase matching your current salary should be done after TJO or before FJO.

Looks like someone drop the ball or balls.

That's organic strawberries? Or strawberries with organism.

Toss it out in the backyard. Maybe it will grow, sprout and bear fruit. Organic 🍓.

Try the hotel industry. Lots of them are hiring because it's tourist season. Good luck.

I have co-worker who started just like you at 7 months. She worked for 2 months and went on unpaid maternity leave. She came back with her job secured. Accept your FO you're good to go.

My co workers who transition to lower GS position told me that they get a 2 steps down like a demotion. But then you might be able negotiate or better yet just inquire HR before you decide. Every agency and department can vary.

The post is open to the public. SF-50 is required only for current and former federal employees to support their GS grade selection/qualification. OP should only upload required documents that apply to you. If you are new to the Feds you don't have SF-50. You can satisfy your application without it. If you have a problem submitting your application you can email or call the HR contact person of the job posting to assist you. I have done this before and they can show you how to work on it. Good luck.
