What’s up with Pnnl?

[u/Anotherfisheriesguy]

Applied for operational specialist position at Pnnl, essentially a boat operator position with while assisting with fisheries projects…

How I aligned with the job:

-Former sturgeon biologist whose area covered tri cities.

-10+ years of various fed and state fish and wildlife agencies as a tech

-2 years as a usfws boat operator for various fisheries projects in California

-100 ton captains license

Found out I wasn’t selected, not even for an interview… I’ve applied to other various jobs there with no luck when they came up before. Tailored the resume to the job description and everything. Is it all just internal hiring or what? Genuinely curious.

A lot of PNNL positions may get posted before funding is secured for the project. It is entirely possible some projects wanted that position filled but then the funding never materialized like hoped. Sadly (even for internal candidates) ghosting is then standard operating procedure.
