One of my references was just called a short time ago. Most excellent.

How interesting. Unless they're not telling me (very possible bc I didn't ask them to) none of my references have been checked yet. No Linkedin contacts that I can tell yet, no background, no credit checks (for those of you keeping score )

Me neither. Over a week since my interview, turned in paperwork on the 12th. It's hard to avoid worry about the interview when references haven't been checked.

I wouldn't worry too much about it---if you read this thread, you will see that some references were checked prior to interviews--my understanding is that a Federal contractor co does the checking and there is no particular order to it---it's also my understanding (could be wrong) from the previous cert that everybody's references get checked---anybody out there know differently?

There's no particular order to it, and it's not unusual that only some, not all, of a candidate's references are called.

Anyone have anymore reports of background or credit checks since Thanksgiving? Not a word. All my refs were contacted, no credit check, but did have a hit by an investigator checking my LinkedIn account.

Do not get in a hurry or panic re; background checks. Full mandatory background checks are several months behind schedule. My ALJ application background check was conducted this week.....I was hired in August 2014.

Yesterday my linked in profile was visited. No word from references yet. I have no idea what is going on with the reference checks. It seems they are behind on contacting a lot of references. I get the idea that the January class may be a small 25 people (as reported earlier in the forum) and then a February/March class will be two sets of 25 people or 50 more hires. Maybe, they won't be checking all references unless your score is high enough for them to reach you in the first January small class. In my case they contacted one reference and received a glowing report and then contacted nobody else. Just very curious how it is being done. Who knows for sure what is going on?

Most of my references have been contacted. No idea on credit check, and I don't have a linked in account. I did get a bizarre Facebook friend request from an Ian Vestigator recently, though... (not serious)

Yesterday my linked in profile was visited. No word from references yet. This is a good sign! Movement! And I think MPD is right, if they already have folks in mind for the 1st start date in Jan, they have time after the holidays to get the rest done before another Feb/March hire. This jibes with ok1956 having word she should be interviewed after the holidays as well. This is ALL good for us folks.... they are going to hire, it is just a matter of how many and when. Being on the register this time is awesome, but being on a cert has amazing odds of being hired. It may not be in Jan for most, but we will get there!

(not serious) LOL! That was great! So, took off today to get ready for the DC trip. Those who had your interviews BEFORE Thanksgiving are lucky. Tried on my favorite spiffy suit. I may need to run, not eat, and drink nothing but water between now and Thursday morning. LOL!

It will teach you to overindulge in the Thanksgiving feast. LOL! Don't worry, go to the sauna today and sweat off 10 pounds and you should be fine. (just kidding). Good luck my friend!

I had high hopes I would get to wear my "lucky" suit to my interview. Unfortunately, it is now my "lucky skinny" suit and I went with a suit that hopefully will now be my "lucky fluffy" suit.
My linkedin was visited by a person requesting to be anonymous yesterday. No reference calls yet. But contractors take holidays too.
