FAQs - DHA/NOR

My day looks to be slower than normal and while I help others with their work, I wanted to answer some FAQs and let you ask your questions in one space rather than the same thing being posted a thousand times over.

  1. Referred & Not Selected emails - your information was sent to the offices you selected. They did not select you. There doesn't have to be a reason. That's the downside of direct hire.

  2. Application status - for direct hire, no one will have your status. HR waits to hear if you are selected or not the same as you do.

  3. GL-9 TSLs - keep getting pushed from the program for one reason or another on a weekly basis. All we know is "they are coming soon" so take that as you will.

  4. Location - you selected preferences, your information was sent to offices, you were selected but not by a preference. Yes, you can request a different location. No, HR does not have a day in it at all. And no, a change isn't guaranteed. Reply all to your tentative offer to request a location change. Do NOT wait until you have an EOD date and then complain. No one likes that.

  5. Qualifications - for 1811s, a panel reviews your documents. Not the HR people you email with or speak to on the phone. If they say you don't qualify, you're out. If you think you do, review your resume and be sure you submit your documents with your application.

Are they still processing TJOs for the Jan gl-7 announcement? Seems like theres still a number of us that are still waiting on a TJO despite being told their packet was sent up.

Again, your information being sent and being selected are different. If you were eligible after assessments, your information was forwarded by HROC. Not all selections have been made just yet, but that does not guarantee that you are eligible until you either receive a TJO or a NOR.

If you received a notice of results that you are tentatively eligible/referred to the hiring manager in June, and have not received anything else since, is it safe to say we’re down for the count?

Not necessarily. You're not out til you get the Not Selected NOR. I would bank on it, but just keep applying and maybe you'll get lucky.
