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)

That sounds like my timeline for a ISO position I applied for . The hiring process is just long and overly drawn out lol. Hang in there! |

Applied - 7/18/2017
NOR - 9/1/2017
Phone Interview - 10/24/2017
Offer - 11/6/2017
