Default Is VA currently interviewing???

Just wonder if anybody knows if VA is currently interviewing, or have they still postponed everything till 2009?

If they are interviewing what is the process? I hear their is an on-line assessment? How long after the assessment does it usually take?

Just curious. I know you need a recommendation to get hired and bus time. Is their anything else that might help someone out to get an interview?

We are interviewing and hiring. We are hiring 30 through the end of the year and will be hiring continually throughout next year.

If you get selected for the online eval and pass you will get an email to select an interview date within a couple weeks.

Recommendation HIGHLY regarded. Bus time is nice but no longer required.

Hope this helps.

I heard from a friend that works there, that there will be 2 classes in October and another 2 classes in November...with 6 in each class. I assume they've already interviewed people for the October class, but I have no idea how much advance notice they give for the class dates.

Any room for a 7000 ttl + Regional Captain? Someone please help me break out of this place and finish my career there. Have an online app and just updated but no response. Any suggestions?

Your friend is correct. The official number is 24 for the rest of the year. Four classes of six starting on Oct. 2. There are just a couple waiting for class right now but not enough to fill the 24 spots so interviews will continue (only the 10/02/08 class has been assigned so far). Also, VA usually gives around three weeks notice for class.
Growth is projected for 2009 so there will be more classes to come.

Run over to any door and slam your hand in it several times.
There now take a deep breath and move along.
You'll thank me later.
