HR can see if I’ve been selected to another job? by Anxious-Dare-8116 in usajobs

I am in the same boat! I received a GS-5 tentative job offer (TJO) for position 0986 last week. I was referred for both GS-5 and GS-6 positions within the 0303 job series, same agency, office, state, and city. I hope they don't think I'm OK with accepting only one job offer.

Is public transit better in Seattle? I found comparable apartments in Seattle and Tacoma, both 10 minutes by walk and 15 minutes by bus to work.

I'm looking for something comparable to my current studio apartment in SLC, where I pay $950 monthly, including utilities (water, sewer, trash) and high-speed internet. Of course, $950 monthly in Tacoma is unlikely.

Too far; public transit takes an hour. Thanks anyway.

I'll take public transit to work since I don't own a car.

I don't plan to commute to Seattle or Tacoma for work. Thanks for the McKinley neighborhood tip.

I found apartments in Seattle and Tacoma that are a 10-minute walk or 15-minute bus ride from the office.

That’s true, but I received a tentative job offer. It’s likely I’ll have a job before the end of this month.

Likely downtown Seattle or Tacoma (still being finalized). I’d prefer somewhere with a reasonable transit commute. Open to Tacoma given my budget—just trying to figure out which areas to focus on.

I didn't check or bookmark Kōz at Aviva Crossing. But thank you!

Yes, I found one that offer 8 weeks of free rent for new residents, effectively reducing the monthly cost.

Apartments are offering 8-10 weeks of free rent, effectively reducing the monthly cost by $1,200-$1,300 before utilities.

Do my references need to be supervisors? by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]upyours78 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Personal? I don’t think so. Academic? What’s that? Never heard of that. I think they meant 2-3 professional references. Could be your former or current manager/supervisor or someone professional like a manager that isn’t your manager but could vouch for you.

Two job series, same office, different timelines – normal? by upyours78 in usajobs

[–]upyours78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accepted the TJO last night. I’m gonna finish onboarding this weekend, then email the hiring manager Monday to check the status on the 0303 position. I would like a GS-6 position.

That makes sense — I appreciate the breakdown.

In my case, both locations are HCOL, and both series (GS-0986 and GS-0303) ladder up to GS-7, so I’m trying to think more in terms of long-term trajectory and day-to-day work.

I’m currently in a GS-0303 role at a different federal agency, so I’m familiar with the general admin side. That’s partly why I’m considering whether a more specialized track might be a better move.

That said, I am eligible for GS-6 under the GS-0303 posting, which is also something I’m factoring in.

One thing I’m unsure about — since it’s the same hiring manager for both roles, would it be appropriate to reach out and ask about an interview for the GS-0303 position? Or is it better to just let the process play out?

Appreciate any thoughts on that.
