came from outside.


Oh wow - yeah I've looked at openings at treasury since Jan on usajobs and there seem to be barely any openings posted for outside hires

Congratulations


thanks. I think there were a few positions that were looking for very specific skillsets that are best gained not in the government. There was only 7 people in my orientation and only 1 was a current fed. The positions were all 14s or 15s.


PP here - an ok - that's why. I should've been more specific as I'm really only looking for gs-9/11 rated stuff.

State is still frozen. I work in HR and tons of people are transferring around but almost no one is coming in unless they're a contractor or agent.


Do you mean agent as in dssa?

I have my orals in august.


Yep, agent classes appear to be proceeding normally. Good luck!!!

I'm frozen out of a USDA position. I spoke to the guy who would be my boss, and he clearly said they're not bringing anyone on board until they know what the 2018 budget is. Sucks.
