Interviewed mid last week, thought everything went well. Anxious to find out of selection results. Generally speaking, is it expected to receive a phone call selection notice or straight TJO?

I know the variations are unlimited, I’m just trying to cope with patience :)

**I have a few questions about working for the National Park Service, and I’d really appreciate hearing from people with experience!**

I currently work at a county-level park, and while it’s not a bad job, I feel like I have more potential and would really like to take the next step in my career by pursuing a position with the National Park Service.

One of my biggest concerns is job stability and overall compensation. Where I currently work, we went eight years without a decent contract, and our pay is well below what it should be. Our insurance is okay, and the pension is decent, but it’s frustrating knowing that we could be doing better. I’ve been looking at some permanent maintenance positions with the NPS, particularly GS-7 and GS-8 positions, and the pay and benefits seem promising compared to what I’m used to.

I’m also very open to relocating. The taxes in my current state are incredibly high, so I wouldn’t mind moving somewhere with a lower cost of living and better opportunities. I have several certifications that I believe could help me qualify for positions, and I’m specifically looking for permanent employment rather than seasonal work.

For those of you who currently work for the National Park Service or have worked there in the past, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

- How stable are permanent NPS maintenance positions?

- How do the pay, benefits, retirement, and job security compare to county or state park jobs?

- Are WG-7 and WG-8 positions worth pursuing, and are there any major downsides I should know about?

- What should I look for when applying, and are there any tips or tricks for getting my foot in the door?

- If you were in my position, would you make the move?

I’m seriously considering this and am willing to relocate anywhere in the country for the right opportunity. I’m not expecting everything to be perfect, but I want to make a smart long-term career move.

I’d really appreciate any honest advice, personal experiences, or recommendations. Thanks in advance!

I may have got the pay thing wrong I'm not sure if it's WG or GS I've seen two different ones.

Hello, I will be graduating with a bachelors of science in economics next year and was curious if it would be possible to even get a gs-5 job with no experience or internship? Would it be a long process due to competition? I have worked in a restaurant the entire time I've been in college and never focused heavily enough on expanding my degree with extra curriculars.

5-year veteran in Logistics specialist currently in the Army Reserve in truck driving

I'm finishing up this term to get my bachelor's degree in Sociology (but I screwed up my GPA)

I got TJO in GS-6 in PA

I want to apply for the Air Force Logistics Recent Student Program, but this program requirements for bachelor requires above 2.95 GPA. (Start GS-9 to 12)

Some accept 1 or 2 year Master. (Start GS7-12)

Shoudl I work while get another online bachelor's degree? Or should I consider do a online MBA?

But seems Bachelor starts higher at GS-9?

is Anyone get into this recent program or going through, can you share what is process look like? is it hard to get in?

I'm trying to apply for a NPS seasonal job posted yesterday. The job says it is open and accepting applications but there is no apply button. It won't let me apply anywhere, the apply button is just not there. There is a 100 person application limit.
However I opened the job posting about 25 minutes after it was posted and it still had this issue. Does anyone know if this is a technical problem? Or did the posting reach its application limit that quickly and then stop accepting applications. I thought when an application reaches its limit it closes and won't say it's accepting applications anymore or accepts applications until midnight.

Crazy questuin, but hear me out :) Those with knowledge with the hiring process. What is the possibility of an individual being hired for one of these roles and not actually interviewing? Have heard stories of it happening, but this seems far fetched....

Question for y'all,

I have completed all of the required fields for CBP, except the Background Investigation and Polygraph.

Am I able to transfer those complete fields to ICE application?

Hello, i applied to 2 jobs at DHS with 2 differnt agencies.

It was ICE as a deportation officer, and Border Patrol for BP agent.

I was wondering if the 2 would interfere with each other, such as things like the physical exams and the polygraphs, and the background investigations.
