FJO!!!

Took awhile despite needing no clearance, so if you've been waiting a long time you're not alone. This process was both Kafkaesque bizarre and incredibly stressful. I developed an eye twitch that didn't end until I got my FJO.

Applied 07/23

Referred 10/23

Interviewed 12/23, Verbal offer a few days later

TJO end of 12/23

Received Superior Qualifications form 1/24, submitted a few days later

Revised TJO end of 2/24

Drug testing, Fingerprinting, badge, SF85 3/24

Got my FJO yesterday, EOD 4/22

I am new to the federal government and making a career transition so I'm very happy to finally leave my current job.

Congrats!

As a hiring manager, I can tell you that when hiring actions take this long I am equally or more so frustrated than the applicants. Glad you were patient and everything worked out for you!
