I wanted to take time to wish good luck to all those interviewing with SSA this week in Falls Church, VA. At the same time, SSA should be making more offers for the March 2015 class sometime in the next couple of weeks, after the finish of the newest round of interviews. Good luck to all of those still waiting for an offer. It's an exciting time to be on the Register. If you want you can make comment below as to when you think the newest round of offers will start, post-interviews. My guess is the week of February 2nd, 2015.

Thanks for my laugh of the day Sealaw90, as I like to get one chuckle from the Board a day and yours was a whopper of a chuckle.

I'm guessing they finish interviews this week and meet (maybe by conference call) early the week of 26 Jan 2015. Since they won't have too many new candidates in the mix this time, I'm guessing the first offer is made Thursday or Friday the week of 26 Jan 2015.

The last few hires have had at least 4 weeks notice from offer to report date. So this fits nicely.

There's presidential precedent for that. I don't want to get too technical or too graphic, but wasn't that was more spittle and less spew??? Admittedly, on any scale, they would disqualify you at an interview. Hopefully. Working with nutty people is one thing.... this would be another level entirely ...

So far, so good. I've made it to the hotel, found the interview building, and found food. Now to attempt to relax and prepare for the interview that could change my life tomorrow.

That's a great feeling, Yellowbird! Relax, focus, and knock 'em dead!! Not literally though. The last guy who murdered an interviewer got a "not recommended." Not sure if they three-struck him.

Good luck all. Wear deodorant. Heeheehee. I forgot to bring deodorant when I went for the WD. At first I thought, aha! Stink out the competition! Then I regained my senses and stopped by 7-11 to grab a stick before I went into the OPM building. Turns out, OPM was in a different climate zone, and I didn't need it. But I definitely recommend it for the ODAR interview. Best of luck, yellowbird, and to anyone else interviewing today!

Good luck, all!
