Offers Going Out from Supplemental Cert

Congratulations!

Congrats from here, too. After reading your post on the "Frustrated" thread from '09, I'm glad to see you are another one whose persistence has been rewarded.

And, is the city you are going to one of the ones on the original May cert?

Wow. Did those getting offers receive prior notice they were on the supp cert, and did they receive reject emails? See if we can pin those answers down so I can finally stop thinking about what might have been.

If they are offering cities NOT on the May cert, then I guess all that stuff about the CBA and transfers doesn't come into play. Interesting that they didn't give people time to confirm their GAL cities, if they had cities on their GALs that were not on the May cert.

This process only gets MORE confusing. Congrats, bucksfan!

I understand the reluctance to identify your city -- ODAR can easily identify you and see what you have said. However, the information would be valuable to others. I suggest you send a private message to ALJD and let him post your city without identifying you. In my view, he has demonstrated that he can keep a confidence.

ALJD -- sorry about volunteering you without talking first.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. The City I was selected for was not on the most recent large cert. I also received a rejection letter about 3-4 weeks ago. I did not receive any prior notice about a supplemental cert.

To encourage others out there, I was told from a pretty reliable source that I had been "three-striked" after my non-selection from the May/June 2009 cert. I don't know what that means about the information, but all I can say is, please do not give up or give in like I almost did.

Portland?

Portland was on the last cert. A longtime friend got the position and is tickled to death about it. Under Region 1 on the list.

Yes, I was referring to Portland, Oregon. The original poster in this thread said she'd been offered a position on the West Coast. I was at a Federal Bench/Bar CLE in Seattle in July - put on by OGC - and the Region 10 RALJ mentioned in his remarks that they needed to fill an ALJ position in Portland. I now see that someone accepted a position for West LA in the supplemental cert thread in the polling forum, so, perhaps, the Portland position was filled by a transfer or by someone on the supp cert that doesn't post here.
