No refs - nor my boss - have said they've been contacted. Either they have or they haven't, or the will or they won't be.

At least my sups and HOCALJ have been called and have given their impressions of me. Not sure that my personal references have been contacted yet.

None of my references have been contacted either. So there are at least six of us on this thread whose references have not been called. Based on that, it seems safe to assume the reference checks will continue this week. This is consistent with the other thread stating that the decisions will not be made until the week of the 12th.

my references have not been contacted yet. I know they are contacting about three times the number of candidates to be offered positions. Thus, you figure they have to check the references of 375 people, and each candidate has about 3-9 references. Thus, it will take the outside contractor some time.

None of my references have been called yet, although I was called as a reference for a colleague/fellow-ALJ-hopeful last week. But alas...I'm not gonna sweat it either. I'm much more focused on the upcoming offers!!! Yikes!

My references haven't been contacted either. Unfortunately, this process has taken so long that a couple are now leaving on summer vacations. Does anyone know whether it's possible to contact the agency doing the background checks to provide additional names for those that will be out of town?

My references were just called today - don't worry yet. They are still calling. Also, I don't think they have to reach all of your references - there is some percentage after which they can consider you done.

I received emails from two of my references today that they had been contacted.

I received emails from two of my references today that they had been contacted. That goes for me also with 5 of my 9 refs have reported being contacted. Interestingly, my current supervisor was contacted also. Where did I put those tea leaves?

Interestingly, my current supervisor was contacted also. Where did I put those tea leaves? I would expect my current supervisor to be contacted if I answered "yes" to the question about whether the current supervisor could be contacted; if you give permission, I'd think that in most if not all cases, that's the person they'd most like to hear from. I know I let my current supervisor and all the former supervisors I listed and still had contact info for that they could, or would, be contacted. Good luck!

Still no word from my refs/boss - at least a few of whom told me they'd let me know.

I know someone from my city who put the same city I did on his GAL. He got a higher score than I did from OPM. I got my call for an interview immediately. He was one of the last. All of my references were checked in the first days from what I can tell; his still have yet to be called. I'm saying all of this to demonstrate that it's all random.

I just learned that I did not receive the position I was certified to interview. Is the register staying open past October 2010. I ask only because I took the written exam and structured interview in Apirl, 2010. Also, if the current register stays open past October, 2010, what are the chances I can be certified for another position within my region? Can anywone help?
