I was contacted by one of my references who had returned a call this morning and was told the reference calls closed yesterday at 5:00. Hopefully, this means the selections were being discussed today so calls can be ready to go on Tuesday - fingers crossed. [b Welcome news!!

Hopefully your other references were amazing and the lack of this one wasn't a big deal, but welcome news for all of us!

As usual, Gaidin hits the nail on the head.

Aloha, all:
Quick question. Since submitting my references through USA Jobs a few months ago, one of my references passed away, and another changed jobs. Both will not be able to be contacted as a result. I have updated my reference information on my resume in USA Jobs, but I doubt that is going to come to the attention of folks should my references ever have to be checked (a long way) down the line. Is there any way to update your reference information for this job application as the process wends its way along?
Thanks!

There's plenty of time!
If and when you get on a certificate of eligible ALJ candidates, that agency will ask you for an updated resume and list of references. If you just applied this spring, you've got a year or more before this comes up.
Until then, no one will look at your resume or references.
Good luck!

OPM doesn't contact the ones you listed on your application. Once you make the register, if you land on a certificate, you will submit updated (and additional, if we are talking ODAR) reference info to the agency doing the hiring, and you would update your resume if needed at that time also.
