Could be somebody playing games. Maybe, though. It is strange there is only a vote in the poll, but no comment from anyone anywhere else on the Board. I guess it is possible, but until we hear of others we will not know.

Just got a call from 703 area code, I thought great, ODAR here I come! It was OMHA wanting a second interview by phone this afternoon. Great news, but wasn't the phone call I was hoping for from (703). I thought I was out of the running for OMHA, but I live to see another day. Good luck to everyone! Big Positive for you Top, hope you get the city you want out of them.

Congrats and good luck Tiger. Don't forget to wear your good luck spurs in the interview!!
As far as the mysterious poll response, it is weird they did not vote in any of the other polls. So who knows?!?!?

Perhaps the first person to be called works at Pearl Harbor and can't be called until 2PM Eastern time. Yeah, that's probably it and would explain the lack of calls today

Maybe they have to wait till OMHA is done? Does that explain the wait?

Maybe they have to wait till OMHA is done? Does that explain the wait? I think they might. OMHA is a much smaller agency and it seems that they have given them this courtesy in the past. The 2nd interview today makes me wonder if someone else declined an OMHA offer or had a background check issue.

Why can't they start calling folks who already eliminated OMHA?
(I know, I know, marathon not a sprint...)

I wouldn't think they "have to" wait but I can imagine that they might want to just so that they don't have somebody telling them to hold on while they mull over an offer from OMHA and SSA at the same time. Especially, if our speculation is correct that SSA has to wait before moving on to the next hire. Better to get as many snags out of the way as possible before starting the process.

When is your second interview with OMHA?

It is also possible that OMHA and SSA have an agreement so they can avoid candidates trying to gin up a bidding war. Not that they would participate, but why not avoid the potential issue entirely?

Tigerlaw said his interview would be by phone this afternoon which I think supports the idea that they are filling a slot for someone who either turned them down or had a background check issue. Sounds like they will move very quickly.

Today is a day that I wish I did not know about this board. I could be in peaceful oblivion about when the calls will come. Oh well.

This is what Chinook stated on another thread..... I would recommend that anybody that accepted an offer from OHMA call Bob at SSA and tell him that you are going to OHMA. It is the professional thing to do. When I received my offer at another agency, I called Bob and he did not know that I was no longer available to SSA. I expect OPM will tell them but who knows when. Hence, I do not see SSA waiting for OMHA to finish it's hiring.

I have an unconfirmed report that Bob G may be at lunch.

Anything in the unconfirmed report that says Bob is making phone calls today?
