Is anyone having problems with the word count? In word it says I have 250 words but when I copy and paste to CDC application, it says I have more than 250. If so, did you decrease it or submit as is?
Might be the formatting. I'd try copying and pasting the text into a plain text box first, then recopy it into the application screen. You can do this in notepad or text edit.Is anyone having problems with the word count? In word it says I have 250 words but when I copy and paste to CDC application, it says I have more than 250.

Hey everyone! So I ran into a question when I went to review my application in FMS. In the Program Awareness Survey section I didn't come across a section for location preferences but when I went to review the application there was a space that listed "States and territories where you are willing to relocate" but it was blank. Has anyone else run into this problem?
Does anyone have a rough idea how long it will take until we hear back about interviews? I was trying to gauge a timeline based on from the forum posts from last year.
Probably a good thing if the took it off the application, I don't think many people who didn't choose all states got where they wanted to be.As far as location preferences, I haven't seen anything yet..... But honestly, If I am afforded the opportunity, I will go anywhere!

So I submitted my PS in three section and have numbered them. Initially I had the questions followed by my responses but when i copy pasted them to the PHAP app, it said you are more than 250words blah blah... so I removed the question and just numbered the three sections. It looked a bit wierd but I couldnt think of any other way plus I didnt have any time left. Could you guys share what everybody did...
Hello everyone! I just got my NOR and it says I'm eligible! There's no rating, just an EL. Anyone else hear back this round?
I got a an email this morning with a rating. My rating was EL. Anyone know what that means? It only says "You are eligible for this specialty and grade".

Hey Everyone,
I'm new to this thread! I also just received my "NORs" follow up email with a specific rating but couldn't locate the "EL" statement. Best of Luck to everyone!
I received the same email this morning. It seemed generic.... like anyone who completed the personal statement would get it. But, idk..... **fingers-crossed***
Hopefully the actually rating will be available soon!
Hey, thanks for all your help. I received the eligible email today, but I was not requested to submit my personal statement last week. So, are there different rounds? Will I be asked to submit my personal statement or do you think the NOR EL email I received this morning was a fluke?Not everyone who applied via USA Jobs my year was eligible. For me the "EL" was at the bottom of the email from NOR and a second email a few hours later gave me my specific rating. I'm not sure what the eligible rating cut off is. After I submitted, I got an email from PHAP a couple of months later to complete the application.

Since I'm just an associate, I'm not involved in the hiring process. My views and opinions are just my own, but I'm happy to help when I can.Hey, thanks for all your help.

I got the same thing! Hopefully it means good news.Status on USA jobs says referred, even though second NOR says "Not Referred" and "Referred". Rating is 98.
The score is just used as a cutoff to be forwarded on in the application process. I have no idea what the cutoff is, but don't focus on the number as long as you were rated EL and referred on to the actual PHAP program for review.This is how it has gone for me thus far, and I hope this helps:
Jan 14 - I applied through USA jobs.
March 9- I received an e-mail saying I have been selected to move to the second phase. I was told to register and submit my personal statement.
March 15- I submitted my personal statement (the deadline was 3/15).
March 18- Receive a NOR saying ONLY that I am eligible for the position (Grade 05, Rating EL).
Current USA Jobs Application Status: Reviewed
That's all I have up until today. Can anyone shed some light on the numerical scoring (what is the average score of those offered an interview)?
I wasn't asked to submit a personal statement though, this is all very confusing. I wonder if I'll be asked to submit a statement now?
Hey beerho, I will definitely keep you updated on what happens with my application. Please keep me up to date too!I am in the same situation. I received an EL status e-mail, but was not asked to complete a personal statement. I'd appreciate it if you keep me updated on what you receive/if you decide to call and ask them what's up.
Hey Everyone,
I have experience with HR and the rating you received was from the USAJOBS application and is completely separate from the FMS application. The score is most likely what they used to narrow down the people they were selecting to write a personal statement. I am pretty sure that all of the people who were selected to submit a personal statement were notified on March 9th. Just my opinion.
Reading is fundamental (I asked a question that you answered). Now I feel better about what I received.Status on USA jobs says referred, even though second NOR says "Not Referred" and "Referred". Rating is 98.
Do you mind sharing if you received and interview and/or offer last year?Reading is fundamental (I asked a question that you answered). Now I feel better about what I received.

I also received an NORs email this morning saying that my application status was updated to "reviewed" but that my rating was solely based on my responses.
So my current status is reviewed and my rating is EL, grade 05. For those of you who submitted a personal statement already though.. lnsertCoolName - you said you submitted a statement before you got the NORs? I haven't gotten any email yet about the second phase or an official rating. Seems that we are all on a different timeline, or I just didn't make it..
Best of luck to all of you in the second phase!

Hi all,
I received my NOR and it says my eligibility is going to expire on 4/12/2015. Anybody with similar experience?
Thank you.
