The timeframe from Referred to interview/hired can vary. HR says that the referral list is "valid" for several months. Being referred is a good thing, but it may not necessarily mean you will be interviewed or hired. It's more of a mystery/suspense than an exact science..

I know everyone is going to get tired of me asking questions but here I go...... I see that some new 1825 positions just opened up, the question is do they pull applicants to be 'referred' with the application window open or must the window shut before anyone can be called?
Thanks again to everyone for your patience!

Usually a vacancy announcement is open for 21 days. Sometimes the "window" for a particular announcement is open for almost a year. Once you apply and get on the Referral list, there is a finite period of time where the selecting official can interview and hire off the "referral list" (often called the selection list). The key is to check back often and apply to any/all openings that interest you and you are qualified for. If you are not a current Federal Employee, you can only apply to vacancies that are open to "US Citizens". Does not hurt to contact the offices you are interested in working for.

A rather complex question.
If someone applies for a specific 1825 location and gets referred, then a nation wide window opens up and the individual, that already has been referred, applies for a different region as his first choice, would the original region find out via the preferences or was the original preference captured when he was referred?
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks,

Having worked here six months, I can sort of see the reasoning. There are a lot of tasks, you have to be organizing, have to prioritize, you have to deal with some upset people, etc. There really is no prep, in my opinion, you just have to be yourself.

The Interview was just an HR panel type, and the questions mirrored the KSAs. It really was a none event, and not something you can study for in advance. I was offered a date for the flight check, but looking at the pay for GS11 I don't think I can make that work.
