Last year’s DHS calls went out late September, early October. So fingers crossed for this week

Is it too late to apply then? I know the app deadline is coming up, but I just submitted my app today for DOL. I know you're not the recruiter, but did you get the vibe that they may still be reviewing incoming applications? I applied to HQ and regional office.Anonymous User wrote:I interviewed with DOL-HP. Was pre-screened for OCI. Decision for national office will be made in January, at the earliest. Likely before the national office decisions, regional offices will be calling back candidates for secondary interviews with their individual office. Excited and anxious to see what the coming months have in-store for me.
Good luck to all.
At least in past years, the OCI screeners and screeners for apps sent directly to HQs were on a different timeline. They only do OCI at a small group of schools, usually earlier than they do the interviews for people at schools where they don't do OCI (or clerking or the like). They do phone interviews for the latter. As long as the applications hasn't passed your app will be looked at.Anonymous User wrote:Is it too late to apply then?

I have it on good authority that the process for OCI and non-OCI hiring is de facto separate, so that even if you don't get an interview through your school, it still makes sense to apply through the regular process, since that is run by different people.

I applied through my school's simplicity and did not get such an email. Should I be worried?Anonymous User wrote:Email from IRS saying thanks and "application received".
When did y'all apply? I applied toward the end of August and received the email roughly 2-weeks later. I directly emailed my materials, however.Anonymous User wrote:I applied through my school's simplicity and did not get such an email.

I applied aroune the beginning of September and emailed directly. Their email was a reply to mine and not a mass one so it seems like they are doing it one at a time.Anonymous User wrote:When did y'all apply?

Thanks a lot for the update on this. Was wondering if something weird was going on or if I missed it. At least a SEC hiring freeze means I wasn't totally in the dark. Appreciate it!Anonymous User wrote:Nope. The website has stated: "Continue to monitor our website for Chair's Attorney Honors opportunities" for months now. That being said, the Honors page was hidden (no linkage within the SEC website, only findable through google) up until 2-3 weeks ago. Hoping they post soon.Anonymous User wrote:Was SEC Honors Program even posted this year? Never got the alert on USA Jobs, but maybe it was posted under a different job title??Anonymous User wrote:SEC Anyone?? Radio silence since last month.
ETA: I've been told by SEC attorneys that there is a hiring freeze and to not expect it to post.
The attorneys that screen and interview candidates may review OCI candidates, internet applications, or both. If an attorney realizes that an internet applicant they're interested in interviewing attends an OCI school, they may reach out to the OCI interviewer to see if they have already reviewed that applicant's resume (some OCI schools self-screen applicants out, others leave screening to the employer) and/or interviewed the candidate. There is only one Hiring Committee that makes the final decisions on both OCI and internet candidates that the interviewers have recommended.Anonymous User wrote:Anonymous User wrote:Anonymous User wrote:Anonymous User wrote:I have it on good authority that the process for OCI and non-OCI hiring is de facto separate, so that even if you don't get an interview through your school, it still makes sense to apply through the regular process, since that is run by different people.
