Thanks again,

Reviewed- Likely SOL. Don't meet some requirement somewhere.
Received- the first thing you know after application. Won't change until job closes, unless it is a long term posting.

So who knows!
All I can say is to keep trying, keep your résumé updated and tweak your KSA's periodically and bounce them off other people.

I said sure and was set up for a face-to-face the following week. After that, I didn't hear a peep for about 2 weeks. I then got a call from the FLM asking if I was still interested..I said Yes, then I was set up for a sim ride and the rest was history....

Thanks for the info. I did not know that once you app was 'received' you could go in there and tweak it, THANK YOU for that I will go take a look.
Now another question, can you tweak your KSA's while and app is referred?
Thanks,

[QUOTE=Deadbone;1893753]Don't know when that was. Last year or so all I know of are trips to Denver. Either way, it has changed in the last year.[/QUOTE
