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.

I scored the same and I consider myself a fairly good writer, so I was kind of disappointed to be honest lol That seems to be a default score for this new Writing Assessment contractor, (Vantage). Everyone I know that has taken the assessment has scored 4/6 immediately after finishing. It would be normal to have a variance of the score for different individuals. Everyone getting 4/6 in the same test is either a monumental coincidence or is just an indication of a default score. Maybe a glitch because the test/software is new? I guess everyone will find out in due time.

Interestingly enough, when they sent out the Vantage essay they accidentally CC’d everyone, so I actually saw that they sent it to at least 80 or so people. It’s kind of intimidating honestly, but we’ll see how it goes!

I received a tentative job offer for Immigration Services Assistant this morning 11/27/19.
I interviewed on 10/17/19.
I think they stopped posting jobs and offering jobs due to the budget but now that it has been extended I think that’s why they sent out the tentative offer.

They can give you a response if they have, or let you know if they are still in the process. I hope that helps.

I haven't heard anything yet.

Hello Everyone!
I have a couple of questions for ISOs/Employees/Human Resources personnel at the NBC at Lee's Summit/Overland Park.
You can post the answer here or send me a private message if you prefer.
Has anyone been hired as an ISO for the NBC at Lee's Summit during the last 4 years
without having an interview, just a Writing Assessment?
Are ISO's hired under the NBC announcement going to the Overland Park, Kansas location only or are they assigned
to the Lee's Summit location also?
I hope it's answered by an employee/former employee of the NBC.
Thanks!
