It's been so quite around here lately …hope everyone is hanging in there and occupying their time while waiting!

I believe there will be an opening posted on USAJOBS for the pre-doc internship, and applicants will have a week (Nov.10-14) to submit their app through USAJOBS. !
No idea... I just received a "yes" and to complete the appl at usajobs, but the I couldn't even find the job opening!So does this mean that if we haven't heard from BOP sites by this week then it's a no-go? Or is this process more site-specific?

Yeap....They posted a little while ago....It wasn't there earlier but it is now.
It seems very site-specific. I heard from one last Friday and another one today. Someone said they heard from one Thursday. The job application is open from 11/10-11/18 (at least for the site that asked me to move forward) so I would imagine they're aiming to let us know by today.So does this mean that if we haven't heard from BOP sites by this week then it's a no-go?

Actually, I believe is only one application to be filled out in usajobs... And then we need to assign where to send it... I got the same dates for a few bop sites.... But still havent heard for all of themIt seems very site-specific. I heard from one last Friday and another one today. Someone said they heard from one Thursday.

I heard one of the VAs sent out invitations the day the deadline passed. I wonder if that means no invitation that day = no luck. (As in, do sites inform if we are not invited?)
This process is truly nerve wrecking!
Today is a federal holiday..... We need to wait until tom!I've heard from one BOP and am still waiting on one... The usajobs.gov piece adds a whole extra layer of application fun!
There usually is. I'm not really sure of the procedure, last year (I think) one of the mods started one around this time. I'm not sure if someone just volunteers to maintain the list or if there is some kind of protocol.Hi All! Hope applications are going well. Is there a separate "interviews" thread on here???
Im new to this... How do you PM? Sorry for the ignoranceJust started a separate interview thread! Feel free to post to that thread or PM me with any interview notifications you have received.

Bureau of prisons. And at least as of a few years ago, an e-mail was the preferred way to notify. Keep a calendar handy, all the best interview dates go fast.
Hello all. For those who have posted regarding BOP sites, I'm currently on internship at a BOP site, so here's the info...
A tip: try your best to match your CV language with the job requirement language used in the internship/position description. Obviously, this new process has the potential to really mess things up for BOP internships, but if applicants can make it through then they'll be nicely setup to graduate into a GS11 position and start working towards that 20 year retirement. Good luck!
Ok great. I have my calendar all marked up and ready to go with all the possible VA dates for interviews already scheduled in as reported by APPIC and on brochures. I just need to highlight the one I want (if and when offered) and I'm done. However, I should keep that calendar with me at all times, right? I need a bigger bag.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
You do not have to do that. I asked them.For those entering USAjob applications, are you also uploading your undergraduate transcripts? This process is taking a lot longer than I anticipated!
Thank you so much!You do not have to do that. I asked them.
They recommend to create a resume...I'm working on the usajobs.gov application now and have heard contrasting info about whether to create a new resume or upload an already-existing CV. Given that you're at one of the BOP sites now, what do you think is the best route? Thanks!

Do you know if the graduate need to be official or unofficial? Some people here have said unofficial are fine and the training director I talked to said she thought it needed to be official but recommended I talked to the contact people from usajobs she gave me.You do not have to do that. I asked them.
Unofficial for now. Official if we get offered a spot.Do you know if the graduate need to be official or unofficial? Some people here have said unofficial are fine and the training director I talked to said she thought it needed to be official but recommended I talked to the contact people from usajobs she gave me.
This is just a shot in the dark here - I would imagine you're in less bad shape having your signature missing versus your supervisor's. I remember one site wanted a report specifically signed by a supervisor, and I think that's what they're mainly looking for, i.e., that an actual psychologist read and approved your report versus you just typing something at random or using a class report. I'm not sure that contacting the site would do anything to change the situation because I would imagine you would explain what happened and they would have guessed that anyway. I don't think it's a huge huge deal in the grand scheme of things. If they love all your stuff and think you'd be a good fit, I can't imagine they would be like, "Well, it's missing this applicant's signature so let's dump that person." If they don't find you to be a fitting candidate, the signature issue could add to it, but I don't think it'll overshadow all the other stuff you brought to the table.I need some advice, I just realized that my sample case report I uploaded is only signed my my supervisor. I uploaded a version without my signature. There is only one site I applied to that specifically asked for the report be "cosigned." Any thoughts on what I should do? Should I contact that site directly? Or do others think having just my supervisors signature is sufficient?
For those of you completing the USAjobs application, has anyone else found their resume to have zero formatting once it is transferred to your final application on the FBP website? It did not give me an option to upload a resume on the FBP website so I'm assuming it automatically transfers from USAjobs, but it looks terrible and confusing in the submitted application. Thanks!
Does anyone know if McClean Hospital changed their application deadline? I originally had 11/18, but now it says 11/10. Just wondering if I had it wrong or if they changed it...
This may fit better on the interview thread but this one seemed like it had more seasoned folks on here. Any tips for us on interview prep besides practicing? Any curveball questions that threw you for a loop on your interviews? Any and all feedback is welcome!
The question that threw me for a loop was "if it was your wedding day and your best friend was making a toast, what would he/she make fun of you for" something along those lines
I received an interview invitation from University of Oklahoma yesterday. Waiting to hear from UAB today. Anyone else heard?
