FBI

But nothing is guaranteed now, right? We still have to get through the background and polygraph, and that's IF we get invited to a class soon?

Congrats!! :) How did you receive your offer?

So an update and some partially bad news.

Yesterday I decided to email the recruiter who sent the invitation for Phase III because I thought it weird that I had not received an email or phone call regarding travel arrangements. She replied quickly saying that she did not see in her system that I had scheduled a date/time slot, and asked if I had scheduled a slot and if I had received a confirmation email. I had scheduled a date/time slot and did receive a confirmation email, which I forwarded to her. She said that there must have been a glitch in the interview assistant because she did not see on her side that I had scheduled anything. She went on to say that she could not add another date or time slot because there weren't enough interviewers available. She did say that if someone dropped out, I would be the first person she would reach out to, otherwise I would have to wait for the next round which has not been scheduled yet. She did say that I would still get to do Phase III this fiscal year.

To say that I was upset is an understatement. Them not being able to do something about it is only understandable if I had slacked and not chosen a slot at all. But I did, the error was on their side of the system or the scheduling software they used. So, to me it seems unfair that they will just shrug and essentially say, "Get back in line, I guess." But, I guess I shouldn't expect them to move heaven and earth to help out an applicant.

I'm still going to move forward because this is something I really want. Thankfully, I just started a new job, and will still be applying to the CIA and State for more options.
