Do we have any idea on a potential time frame? Are we talking like this week? Or there's time to work on getting stuff together I don't think anyone would tell, even if they knew.
I doubt anyone with decision making power would care, but I would hope that those affected by the hurricane would at least have power and internet back before the announcement drops. I don't think the posting would be live for more than a day, and it would be cruel for someone otherwise prepared to have to wait years to apply again due to something totally outside their control.
I feel like this is something that absolute should be considered, but probably won't be. They most likely have an opaque hiring timeline pegged to the announcement date.

It was open for about 9 hours last time. I wasn't able to even get an application in due to being stuck in an airport. Felt like being punished for daring to take a vacation. what time in the morning does the announcement usually post? The April 2022 posting opened at approximately 9- 930 Eastern time (something like that) and it closed the same day at 11:59:59 PM Eastern time as the 1,000 app threshold had been met. So it was open for approximately 15 hours on the day it was released and anyone that got their application completed and submitted that day before that closing time (midnight est) was considered. That being said, make sure if you’re in a different time zone to adjust your expectations of opening and closing times - submitting an app at 10pm pacific time would not work. I would not expect the app to remain open beyond the first day - the same as two years ago. Get your stuff in order ASAP. When the app does go live, word will spread like wildfire. If you’re remotely paying attention you’ll know it’s open.

I can’t recall, but I think it’s safe to assume it’ll be up at the start of the working day for East Coasters. I am not an insider, so my info is from Lord Varys and his little birds (is it still cool to make GOT references, or did the last season ruin that?), but I heard a rumor that that it might (stress on the “might”) be a fixed open period this time. In other words, it wouldn’t shut down after a certain number of applications. A very short open period, but an open period, nonetheless. Do not rely on that, though. It’s most definitely a rumor.

Even a full 24 hours would be an improvement

Any guesses on when they would work the transfer list relative to this potential new posting? Asking for a friend.....😁
