Thanks for the update man. Hope all is well and you’re taking it easy!
That’s only natural but it is also a good way to drive yourself nuts. Every person’s timeline is different and sometimes there’s really no logical explanation.
I wanted to update everyone on my status. I was placed on the CCL back in November. Since then, I gotten a few interview requests and did get a pending FJO with one of them. Interestingly enough, they gave me a EOD before sending me a FJO? I am still waiting for the full FJO.
As a side note, apparently, once you have a pending FJO, no other position can offer you a FJO. Choose your interviews wisely! There was a position I preferred over my current pending one, and they told me they wanted to extend me an FJO but couldn’t because I already had an active pending FJO.

I was placed on the list around the same time. Unfortunately, no interviews. That said, I have an offer from an NSA prime contractor.
That is interesting about the interview. I was just offered a position, which makes me think it was my original position and they just didn’t want to fill it because of uncertainty around the new administration at the time.

Just saw Trump is signing a EO for several Fed Departments to cut employees in half, and to limit hiring to almost nothing…
At a quick glance, that EO still has the disclaimer that it shouldn’t affect things like public safety and national security. I’m still in adjudication but I’m struggling to stay optimistic.
Unfortunately, they both will be hit… National Security will be next, with CIA and homeland being taken out by Doge… How much they will be hit is the issue? They keep saying DEI is what they are looking for, but I honestly think that is just an excuse to do other things…
Public safety locally has been hit… FD have been limited or not able to get granting, and such.
Hey question for you, if you don’t mind me asking, have you been placed on the cleared candidate list?
Let’s not lose hope just yet. I am anxious too, knowing there’s nothing I can do but wait. I keep checking my application status regularly and occasionally get updates from contacts inside the community, of which I’ll share what I can here. Fingers crossed!
Well I did finally get my FJO today. Same as my original CJO from when this process started. Now to see if the FJO holds up, but I won’t lie and say I’m not concerned about cuts. Especially with some of the posts I have seen on /rFedNews about people on probation suddenly just being cut. Lots to think about before my EOD date arrives.

How far out is your EOD?
Two months was the soonest they offered.

I wonder if they offer different EOD’s based on job title.
What field is the position?
I am not sure. I wouldn’t imagine so as I believe there is an orientation for everyone entering work there. I do know that with the government you have to start at the start of a pay period, so it is only possible to start once every two weeks.

I am not willing to discuss that here as I don’t want to dox myself with anyone. I did look at your post history though to see if you posted yours, and I will say it is not a SWE position.

Good to know, thanks. Best of luck! Hopefully I’ll see you there!
Hopefully! I don’t know if everyone goes to the same course regardless of what station they are at. Guess we will find out.

Everything went fine with your clearance crossover from NSA to contractor? Going through the process now.
