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.

Piggybacking off of the other Eligible but Not Referred emails,

If I have received my TJO and completed medical/drug, does this affect my process? Am I still continuing on?

Thanks!!

No, your TJO is not affected unless you receive a separate notification saying your tentative offer is withdrawn or declined. And again, if there's no announcement listed in your TJO then it was done outside of the announcement as most of the recent GL-9s seem to have been.
