Is everybody convinced that tomorrow is the day DOL DC offers will go out? If someone got a reference request yesterday it seems likely...I just sure hope not...

I got an email from DOL requesting references this morning. I had also gotten the "active consideration" email a few weeks ago.

Did you rank any of the regional offices as your first choice? I understand if you don't feel comfortable answering. I'm just curious whether that has to do with why you've got the reference request and no one else on here seems to have.

Do you mean IRS OCC?

Has anyone been extended an offer to any of the IRS northeast regional offices? (I interviewed for a regional office on a resume collection).

when were the 1st round interviews?

I believe today was the last day of first round interviews. I had a first round interview last week and was told second round offers would be extended very soon. Second round interviews will also be virtual, there was no mention of a third round. They only have two positions, and hope to make tentative offers by the end of December.

Thanks! Good luck

Thank you for the reply! I had a first round interview last week as well. Hopefully we both hear back soon.

Thank being said, my interviewers mentioned there may be a third round of interviewing. They seemed unsure. I was also told that there could be 1-3 offers, hopefully extended by the end of December.

Any word yet on second round interviews with NOAA?

I'm the third anon from this nested thread. Haven't heard anything. My first round interviewers said second round ought to be the second and/or third weeks of December, so seems like either I'm off the list and they haven't told me yet, or they are behind where they thought they would be. I will post here if and when I hear anything, good luck!

Received an informal DOL DC offer (will be formal when HR sends a letter) today after a request for references earlier this week and, before then, a continued interest email

Was it via phone call?

Here's to hoping they're just behind. I will post if I hear anything as well. Good luck to you!

Ok so if we haven't had our references requested we're definitely screwed then, huh? Siiiiiiiiiigggghhhhh

Hi guys (new anon here),

NOAA: I interviewed for the first round the last week of November, and received an email last week (friday) from the staff who interviewed me saying that they will be making decisions regarding the next round 'shortly'. I don't know if they sent out updates to all - maybe depends on who interviewed you. W/r/t this update, I am not sure if this means that the time has passed and second round notices have been sent earlier this week and we are out of luck, or that they are still behind schedule (hoping for the latter!). Anyways, I'll update if I hear anything, good luck!

I am in the same boat and would like to know whether your reference requests/offer came via telephone call or email.

Thank you for the information. I haven't received an update, so that may be good news for you! Hopefully they're just behind schedule, as it seems many agencies are this year. Good luck to you!

Also interviewed on a resume collection, and received an offer a while back.

Anybody know much about the USPS honors attorney program, or more generally what it's like to work as legal counsel at USPS? I have an interview coming up and know very little outside of what was offered in the ad.

How did they relay the offer to you (phone/email/snail-mail)? How long did they say you had to accept or reject? Was the national office your first choice?

has anyone heard from DOT? Had an interview end of October and heard nothing

So we have one person on here with reference requests and an offer?

Edit: referring to DOL

I don't feel comfortable saying too much but the reference request was by email and the offer by phone. The national office was my first choice.

That's fair. Thanks.

So is it safe to assume at this point that if we haven't heard from DOL DC it means we're alternates? Follow-up question: do they typically do all of the reference requests/offers at once for the first round of offers? We have one person on here with an offer - does that mean there are likely 9 others who just aren't posting?

I don't think regional interview requests have been sent out. Thus, there are probably only 4-6 offers out.

Where did you get this 4-6 number from? I guess it's still not a good sign for those of us who haven't had our references requested...

Speculation: There are four offices hiring (one national and three regional). There are a maximum of ten new hires. A vast majority of the positions are for the national office.

I heard there are 10 for DC alone, and that the regionals were an extra 3. I did not hear that DC was only hiring 4-6.
