Has anyone gathered in one spot the cities where folks have been hired with the March start date? Trying to figure out if they include cities that had January starts, or just new cities from the Nov 2014 cert. seems like there were an awful lot of cities on that cert with no hires yet. As a outsider, it is nearly impossible to figure out what is going on with hiring. I have a good NOR, but very small GAL Not that it helps, but the insiders can't figure it out either. If you want to know locations, check the posts of the people who have accepted March offers and see if they have disclosed where they are going. That's the only information we collectively have. Insiders may have information about what's going on in their own office and be reluctant to post because they want to retain anonymity. With that exception, we do not have information about process/location/lucky winners not available to outsiders.

One of the folks that previously announced their hire but kept the city to themselves would like to anonymously report the city as Fort Wayne.
"Fort Wayne. For all your Fort and Wayne needs, there's really only one Fort Wayne."
Also, for accurate counting, there are three for Middlesboro. Including one that anonymously announced.

Off the top of my head I can think of at least 1 location hired to start in January and March. I believe there is verification of at least 1 more.

Received a PM from one wanting to remain anonymous. This person was offered and rejected Charleston WV yesterday. They are still in for some other cities but personal reasons led to declining Charleston. They wanted all to know that hiring for that city is apparently ongoing.

I forgot to mention that some information comes in anonymously via another board member. My point was that the institutional knowledge that insiders typically have about their employer's hiring process has been largely irrelevant since the new system went into effect.

Can anyone confirm if Chessparent actually ate an applicant to take his/her place? Gel, err, Gaidin said something to that effect, IIRC...

However, there was a report of a mysterious "declination" of an offer by a candidate. Moreover, there are persistent rumors that Chessparent's favorite movie is "Soylent Green" and that she believes Rod Serling's best work was the teleplay for the Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man." And her fascination with the Donner Party is widely whispered among those who might be standing in her way. The circumstantial evidence is compelling.

Yeah, tell us about the ODAR odor. It's funky I would guess. Don't use a black light. Funky, it sounds like you're transferring already. Congrats. In my day--I joined up three years ago this month--the Agency didn't pamper and mollycoddle the judges like they do now. I had to wait 27 months to transfer. Hope you're going to a nice place. Also, congrats to all the new hires! Lots of great news, indeed. But we need all the regular denizens picked up! I've got my fingers crossed. Best, Hamster

You were betrayed by a Board Member who indiscreetly posted at the closed cities poll:

Hope this is not dense of me, but it appears that no one has received a new list of cities for March hiring? Is the correct? Just trying to keep hope alive here, as I have received nothing from ssa since Nov/dec time frame. Thx!

I think you are right, bettyrubble. There is one post by Batman stating that he was notified of a cert for Charlottsville VA late Friday, and otherwise no new notifications of any certs for new cities or emails regarding same. Since they were working the transfers and retirements last week the thinking is that we should see an email with new certs/previous but withheld certs/other(?) for ranking and submission in the next week or so. Stay tuned.

I can't vote! Sorry - I think bobharris betrayed himself when he complained about not being able to vote in the closed poll. Why would he care unless he had a vote to cast? I know that I mentally added him to the list of successful applicants when I saw that. Congrats bobharris - wherever you go!

So now the cover of the formerly anonymous indiscreet Board Member is blown. I hope bobharris doesn't exact retribution from him.

Wow, you guys are observant. Can't slide one past you! What a great quote! I am going to adopt that as my new signature! I figured if I drew an incorrect inference, I would be corrected, but better to assume you had an offer in hand.
