FBI

I am a bit confused about this as well and had assumed the same. I had heard that the process can take up to a year with the interviews/background checks/etc. so I assumed by this September I would be starting a position if qualified. Doesn't seem like that will be the case but who knows, I'm a first time applicant. I saw someone say somewhere that it's wise to have other jobs lined up while you wait.. so I'm not sure.

I just got put under review for another position about four or five days ago, but I have not heard anything about being scheduled for interviews or anything, even for the positions I was put under review for months ago. Also a bit antsy about everything, hopefully some more activity happens soon. Good luck to you!

Yes, two of the positions I applied for have dropped off of my profile as well, but I still have them in the Under Review For section for specific FOs. Could be that they just don't need those spots filled anymore.

I had an interview for a position in Albuquerque, NM this last week, but that's the only correspondence or update I have so far! I hope everyone else is making some progress!

It was the OST position for the Albuquerque division, I think it was the only one they were interviewing for. But the correspondence wasn't an "official" FBI email if that makes sense, it was just an FBI employee reaching out in a normal email asking if I was available to interview for the OST position opening there.

Is anyone planning on applying for the 2023 cycle as well when that opens up? I'm not sure if I should do it or not and was wondering what everyone else was maybe thinking.

(1) Anyone know if you can renegotiate your CJO salary amount? The city I’ve accepted mine for has increased the cost of living exponentially over the past year since accepting it. I didn’t want to call and ask since I’m still waiting in the background investigation, but I was hoping someone was wondering the same thing or might be able to give some advice/ clarification on how to approach the situation

(2) I’ve honestly been doordashing to make ends meet because I was told I could receive a start date at any given moment. I was wondering what some of you guys/ gals were doing in the meantime to make money but still gain experience since graduating college recently?

(3) I hope good things work out for everyone 🙌🏾

Okay so minor update on my end. I reached out to my local field office to check on my background investigation status and they said, my investigation appears to be complete. However, they said the “official email” won’t be from them which was kind of confusing based on what I’ve read on their website and from other user experiences. It’s been about month since they sent this.

Anyone have any experience of where this “official email” will come from? Or any insight on what I should do?
