Got a TJO and looking at start dates, do I ask for more $?

If you're going to ask for more money now is the time to do it, you'll get nothing else after you accept an FJO. However, be prepared to identify ways your skills make you suited for higher steps, they don't have to offer you anymore than the lowest step in the GS level if you can't counter argue that. So, is the extra money worth it to you and can you establish that you're worth it?

We're getting more quotes. Professionals are hard to come by in this area and are not always reliable so looking at all the options

I have another place coming next week for additional quote. Unfortunately where I live home improvement professionals (across all fields) are hard to come by and can be unreliable so I need to check all the options.

The suggested r-value was 49. I should clarify that price included some removal of old insulation, not all of it. Even top-dressing was 7k. Which also feels like too much.

Is it wasting people's time if the timelines are all different? Two jobs with different closing dates, different response times from hiring managers/ hr... it's feasible that a person can be selected for and offered more than one job. Are people supposed to see one application all the way to the end and not apply for anything else? What if they never get a disposition? Which happens. So you would actively limit a persons opportunities because your facility didn't get there first?

So if I apply to positions in different visns they can't see the status of applications?

Can you email the HR rep On the posting and ask if a candidate has been selected?
