Because they can’t do OCI at every school they’d hire from.Nebby wrote:Why in the world would an agency have two separate OCI and non-OCI tracks?
Regardless of whether you participate in OCI, you should always apply directly, too. Earlier the better.
No. I meant, why would their be two separate committees making hiring decisions based on whether the applicant applied via OCI or not.A. Nony Mouse wrote:Because they can’t do OCI at every school they’d hire from.Nebby wrote:Why in the world would an agency have two separate OCI and non-OCI tracks?

Oh, got it. I think it’s that different people screen apps for OCI and for the direct applications, but they all end up on the same desk in the end (at least, that was the impression I got the year I applied).Nebby wrote:No. I meant, why would their be two separate committees making hiring decisions based on whether the applicant applied via OCI or not.A.

I've heard that CFPB interviews have been extended for both Fair Lending and Enforcement.Anonymous User wrote:Any real news here? I'm still waiting on:
CFPB (I see they've sent out interviews so this is probably out)
IRS
FTC (not a formal honors program but entry-level)

I expect all of their attorneys are deep in over their heads right now and have generally delayed examining applicants.

Me. Mine is also next week. I called to schedule the CB in mid-September and the woman I spoke to said the travel agency would contact me soon.Anonymous User wrote:Anyone have/had a callback with the OCC that needs/needed to travel?

Same exact deal with me. Hopefully we hear something soon. Good luck!Anonymous User wrote:Me. Mine is also next week.

I got a follow-up email from the same woman last week confirming the interview and saying again the travel agency would contact me soon but nothing since then.

No, I did not intern with DHS. Good luck!Anonymous User wrote:question: did either of you intern with DHS?
OCC is still in the middle of callbacks. I wouldn't expect anything until November at the earliest.Anonymous User wrote:Has anyone heard from IRS (first-round) or OCC (post-cb)?
Where did you get the 400th application thing from? I am in the same boat except I didn't apply until a couple days before the deadline.Anonymous User wrote:If I never got a confirmation email for the CFPB program that was open for less than a week and haven't received any follow-up, should I assume that I am out of the running? It's extra weird just because of the 400th application thing. I applied pretty early but it's conceivable that I was too late, I guess.
I interned with IRS field office SBSE last summer and had interview with them. Heard back that they wrote me a recommendation to hiring committee. It's been dead silence since then.Anonymous User wrote:Has anyone heard from IRS (first-round) or OCC (post-cb)?
Other than a “we received your application” email from the hiring director, I haven’t heard anything. They did extend the application deadline last month though, so I can’t imagine what’s going on over there.Anonymous User wrote:Any word from the FCC?
Same. Anyone?Anonymous User wrote:Anyone heard from DOL recently? I applied deadline day (Oct. 6) and haven't heard anything. This is the only honors program I applied to and I'm not sure if I was supposed to receive a confirmation email...?
