Not really -- most federal agencies are anticipating operating on continuing resolution through spring of next year, which means budget shortfalls and hiring freezes.

But what about the hiring process itself. Will they phase out the stupid KSA's or will there be an abrut end. I can't stand those stupid things.

I know in our agency we just moved 8 positions forward (not lawyer) all to post after November and they all have the KSAs in them. I think as long as you get them to HR to post before the Nov 1st date you can still use KSA. As for us, we're also asking for an exception for all positions that were open.

I'm not sure what they will do -

OK - for us non-government people what the hell does this mean? They will have KSA's even though the governement said they would not use them anymore and applicants should still answer them and that you already have people for the postitions? what is an exception?

Oh and this has been one of the most helpful threads I've read on this board in a long while...thanks everyone.
