DHS
The Department of Homeland Security has a vital mission: to secure the nation from the many threats we face. This requires the dedication of more than 230,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector. [Their] duties are wide-ranging, but [their] goal is clear: keeping America safe. (source: www.dhs.gov)
Perhaps you are working for the DHS or interested in working for the DHS. Here is a forum to share your experience with the DHS.

Probably a silly question, but does anyone know if the invites for interviews are all sent out at once? I'm from the Minnesota area and was really hoping for a crack at this position and it was my number one choice for location. I did the Wonderlic and am now waiting for follow-up.

For those who did their fingerprint check, was the form sent to your email address or mailed to your physical address?
How many days after the drug test did you receive the the fingerprint form/card?

Congratulations! What office will you be working at? I figure you were already an ISO 1 there, since you had an "in person" panel interview for the ISO 2? Tex
