[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Merry Christmas. first person to respond. I think you should take a step back and break from this thread.  Then go back and read everything that was posted and take to heart some of the common themes in these responses.

Very unclear about not referring to hire someone because a cert full of qualified spouse preference applicants means they have to hire a new positions.

I don't know all the details of the position, your spouse's expertise and work, how it is being captured on the resume, or how she is answering any of the responses to the questionnaire.  But i will reiterate the vacancy announcement can be exactly the same, and depending upon who applies and what they submit, provide in their resume, or status (maybe an ICTAP HR Specialist applied who is being displaced from their job that is moving somewhere else), the process of the screening and cert selection with all the laws and regs applied can give a different result of who is referred.

No matter how much the hiring manager says he/she likes your spouse's work and implies she would love to have her working as a civilian for her, a good civilian HR Specialist knows to never promise anyone a job - because anything can happen (and it's a prohibited personnel practice - HR Specialists who can see what is happening and the electronic paper trail are the ones who typically report to OSC).

Empower your spouse through advice and encouragement to fight her own battles.

Wishing you the best.[/quote]

I appreciate your response, but I guess I'm looking for actual information on the hiring process. But to be clear, no one promised her a job, and no HR specialists has even talked to her until she appealed their decision not to refer her. We were both blown away when she wasn't referred to this job and I came here looking for answers. I'm really not sure why everyone is so torn up over me being the husband trying to find answers to some questions to help my wife appeal the decision some HR rep made when they didn't refer her. Why is this such a bad thing? This is quite literally just a forum and I'm must asking questions and doing research. To say something like, have your spouse fight her own battles is just, I mean I don't even know how to respond to this. Not a single person has been able to even come close to answering the original questions I posted, its like one person after the next trying to deflect and accuse me of something. I actually found the information about Executive order 13473 myself. What it doesn't really tell you is if the different categories included in this Executive order has a higher priority over another. I don't expect anyone here to answer that.

Its no wonder everyone thinks this stuff is shady, and its no wonder the President is working to take this process out of the hands of OPM. Honestly, after 20 years of my own military service and hearing the stories and talking to GS employees about their experiences, and even my own experiences at applying for some of these jobs, I am amazed its been allowed to go on this long. My last update is here for information purposes for those like me looking for answers. I will post the final conclusion once we get it for the record and for anyone else searching. But I honestly don't think this is the best place for people like to me to ask questions. [/quote]
