If you're here, who's watching the Moors? Seems to me that Pixie mostly enjoys her weekends out for dinner, so you have another day before your opening for mischief, Judge P . . .

It's not. It's evidence of how great a ship the HR people run. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's also evidence of how good B*b is -- whenever I emailed him, I received a prompt response.
(I think there have been requests to not post HR names on the Board)
I was attempting to avoid using names.

If you're here, who's watching the Moors? As you probably know, there are a bunch of pixies causing mischief on the moors. I am here, trying to cut down on the mischief on this board. Occasionally I escape back home on the moors to wreak havoc as I see fit. But that is there, this is here. No mischief here. Pixie.

So maybe they've punted on the last few offers for the July class, in favor of getting an early start on the September class? On the theory that time is of the essence for the September class, because any delays might push them into the scary realm beyond 9/30/16 (end of the FY), where dragons roam?
Just thinking out loud.

Per a well respected source, there have been a total of 97 hires, approximately half for the June start date and half for the July start date. Durn close to the hoped-for 107 hires.

If you did not get the call this time and it is your first cert, will you get a FOAD letter or be put on the next Cert? I just want to know if I am completely out of the running or do I have to wait until this register expires.

Every time you are on a certain and that cert is closed, you will get a FOAD letter (email, actually). They typically close certs just before they issue new ones.

I just want to know if I am completely out of the running or do I have to wait until this register expires. If your GAL is broad enough, both. The most recent FOAD email said: "Dear ALJ Candidate: I regret to inform you that you were not selected for an Administrative Law Judge position with the Social Security Administration (SSA) during our latest round of hiring. Thank you for your patience during this process and for your interest in working for SSA." Note that it only says you weren't hired during the latest round of hiring. What it does is inform us that the prior set of certs have been closed out. You will be on the next set of certs to the extent your score and GAL qualify you for it. (Unless they start three-striking candidates which I do not expect them to do.)

Every time you are on a certain and that cert is closed, you will get a FOAD letter (email, actually). They typically close certs just before they issue new ones. And FOAD isn't a permanent FOAD, either. You can get a FOAD several times, appear on several different cert groups, and then get hired when you think all hope is lost. You never know with this thing.

Thanks for the quick responses! I will just wait patiently like everyone else and see what the end is going to be. Again thank you!

THIS!! 6+ years for me. Hang in there, keep trying, and do not lose hope!

Just back from a dinner party at a friend's house, now checking for mischief on the board. On the way back Sheriff's Deputies were checking for mischief at a DUI roadblock. Fortunately, they found none in our car as my husband only had two glasses of wine over 3 1/2 hours. Pixie.

I accepted an offer and will be starting on 7/25/16. For years, I have listened (read) and learned from the advice shared by generous Board members. I have never posted before now because all my questions were answered in various threads.
I want to thank all the members for their advice, including Pixie. The advice generously shared by all members helped me avoid mistakes in the process which may have derailed my application and appointment. I will continue to seek the advice from this Board and hopefully one day I will be able to give advice which will help someone.

Work has been keeping me very busy and I haven't properly congratulated many who have recently "got the call." Congratulations to all of you and welcome to the corps!

And is that a pun based on my other post? LOL

If you can vote it the polls and then confirm it to a board member you trust, it will authenticate the vote. The polls are closed, but if you will let me know which polls you are going to vote in, I will open it for you. Pixie.
