Ok folks. I FINALLY GOT THE CALL. I am scheduled to interview on 29 July. No email, just a (703) area code number on my cell phone. I knew to answer it, and bingo! Good luck for anyone else getting the call!

When did you get your cert notice(s)? Have you interviewed before? Can you say what cities you might be interviewing for? Thanks

I too just got the call ~1 hour ago. Given a choice to interview between 29-31 July. Wasn't told for what city but I have a VERY small GAL. Was told I'd receive an email for travel arrangements today; I haven't received it yet.

SSA did something like this in November when some people were called to set their interviews before cert emails.

I just got a voice message from the same number asking that I return the call as soon as possible. I'm driving in the sticks with poor cell coverage. I plan on calling back later this afternoon once I get to a place with better cell coverage. Good luck.

When did you get your cert notice(s)? Have you interviewed before? Can you say what cities you might be interviewing for? Thanks How I got to this point - I did nothing and had nothing but radio silence since I got my NOR email from OPM. When did I get my cert notice? - I didn't. Never interviewed before. Small GAL, 3 cities in Region 3. None were on the last few rounds of hiring. Only one of my cities has ever shown up (last summer) since the register was established. Hope this helps.

If you folks that are getting the call could share your GAL or send someone (me if you like) your GAL so we can start getting a picture of what cities will be on the cert that would be spectacular. Also most importantly if anybody gets the cert email please pass it along.

Right on Sealaw, Also Friant and Ncatty -- good luck! I had a good time going out there to interview. Hope you also find it to be a pleasant experience as well.
Wait a second - no one got a new cert email? What does that MEAN?

So, anyone reporting getting interview calls for 7/29-31 has not interviewed before with SSA/ODAR on this register.

Wait a second - no one got a new cert email? What does that MEAN? I wonder if the cert e-mails will come out today or the beginning of next week. Hopefully today so that everyone has the weekend to rank/cut their cities. Sounds like it's going to be a really large cert and/or have even more new cities than I originally thought. Congrats and good luck to all that are finally getting their shot at the dance!

You don't think they're going to make the August 10 hires first, Hopeful?
Seems like a lot of moving pieces and it is very strange for interviews to be set this far in advance of certificate emails.

I will put something up in a bit.
