My recommendation to anyone that is "waiting in queue" is to call prospective offices to inquire as to vacancies. As USA Jobs limits an applicant to 3 locations they can specify, it may be that there are no vacancies at any of those offices. There are many offices that have experienced a significant amout of attrition. If you are flexible in your locations and willing to move to a central US location that is known for significant tornadic activity and oil production, that might be a good place to indicate on your app.

Best advice is be patient, it's the Federal Government and they move at there own pace.

Secondly, If you offered a choice between ASI-AC or GA choose carefully! The jobs are very very different. When I was initially contacted for an interview I had no idea what CMO stood for. LoL
I'm not saying one is better than the other, but the lifestyles, responsibilities and promotion opportunities are vastly different.

Interviewed this past Monday. Had a Tentative Offer in my e-mail this morning.

That might be a new speed record record involving any facet of the government. Ever.

Yup, I interviewed for GA and CMO at the same time since it was same office and was referred to both. Which office did you interview for?

Interviewed and offered MSP FSDO.

I'm still internally reconciling the reality of not flying to pay the bills, but I'm also excited to see where this takes me.

Congrats! I interviewed for KSLC and have been referred to two other locations since then. I know exactly what you mean... I've thought looooong and hard about it myself. PM me if you wanna talk about our decision to leave lol. I'll give you my number and we can talk.
