Guys I applied to EVMS and Geisinger too, but to peds tracks. Good luck to y'all and maybe we'll cross paths!
Hey! I applied to the Inpatient Forensic Track and Chronic Mental Illness track at Butner
Totally weird huh? Apparently this is the first time this is in the Usajobs app. Current BOP interns have no idea what i'm talking about when I asked them about this. I'm going to attach the basic appi as part of my documents? it has my match number as well which it also requests that we have included.
Is anyone else actively preparing themselves for rejections? I've already seen that 2 of my sites have sent out at least a portion if not all of their invites...

I'm in the same boat. Don't worry, it's still so early! I sent out 20 applications and knew I wouldn't get 20 interviews. The offers will start coming soon! I hope
I think my worry stems from seeing that 2 of my sites had already sent out invites, and since I haven't gotten one I've automatically assumed a rejection is heading my way soon. This is exacerbated by the fact that I made the truly excellent and adaptive decision to compile invite/rejection dates for all the sites on my list from the past 2 years so I have "data" to back up my panic. It's really too bad I don't know any mindfulness and distress tolerance skills to stay in the present moment and manage this anxiety and worry effectively...I uploaded the email I got from AAPI saying I applied to sites and a screen shot of the NMS page with my Match Number and wrote out my match number for the selective factor information and uploaded that into the OTHER documents.
That was confusing. I chose to do the second option they listed: proving I submitted to AAPI and my match number. I just screen shotted the confirmation email from AAPI saying I applied and a screen shot from NMS of my number. I might call tomorrow and make sure it's okay I did that. It would stink to be ruled out over something dumb like thatHey! I applied to the Inpatient Forensic Track and Chronic Mental Illness track at Butner
Congrats on your sites, lots of good stuff coming in the future!
As for the usajobs stuff I'm having previous applicants help me out... It's pretty anxiety provoking but the questions seem pretty straight forward. The only thing i'm a little bit unsure of is the DCT statement regarding completion of the APPI? ... I uploaded the basic APPI with my match number included so I'm hoping that will suffice?
Are you uploading official transcripts?? My school has the option to do a program evaluation that reflects our courses and grades...I was thinking of uploading that. Does it need to be official? Also, do we need to upload undergrad transcripts?? I'm finding this process very confusing...
I don't think they have to be official. I have official copies of my transcripts in PDF form so I just used those. You can usually get them from previous institutions in less than 48 hours. There's a spot for undergrad transcripts and since it's an employment screener, I think you should verify every degree you have.
Awesome-- Yes I did the exact same thing you did! But because it doesn't match up perfectly i'm questioning whether or not its right. I sent an email to the usajobs help center email and am awaiting their response. I hope we did it right! blehhhh
Agreed-- gotta just roll with this usajobs process that is very "extra" right now. I uploaded a PDF of the basic appi (that has my match number included) so I think this kills the two birds with one stone/document. A previous applicant said the usajobs help center (phone/email) was very helpful so hopefully they'll pet our heads and reassure us that everything will be okay.
I got at least one of those myself...I changed my app and uploaded the basic APPI. That makes more sense than my screen shots of emails. Good thinking. Do you know how long until after the vacancy closes it takes for us to know if we're "best qualified?"
A previous applicant said they found out early December... let the waiting begin
ugh... it doesn't seem like it should take that long. I wish I could just be confident and happy that I've been told to move forward with sites...but it won't feel real until I actually get the email to set up the interview.A previous applicant said they found out early December... let the waiting begin
Thanks for the insight from the other side! Personally, I would welcome news (good or bad) from a site ASAP because I just hate waiting so muchJust wanted to post a blanket reminder that those of us reviewing your applications (a general "us" -- I'm sitting this one out this year) are doing so on top of our other responsibilities. But, we remember how stressful this process is. So...if you get an email late at night or on a weekend, it's because we want to get you information ASAP and that's just when we had time for it.
Although I think there's a special place in hell for programs that send out rejections on (US) Thanksgiving eve or day.

Random question: has anyone researched credit cards that are best for racking up travel rewards/cash back? Lol we're about to be spending big money so just wondering if anyone has found a particularly good credit card.. Is something like a capital 1 venture rewards card OR an airline-specific credit card the way to go?? Yay to spending money I don't have!!
I just told myself that I wouldn't want to go to a site that sends a rejection letter on a Saturday anyway

OKAY- for all of us applying through the USA jobs application. I just spoke to someone on the phone and he said upload a copy of your AAPI, and they are aware that the categories of where we can attach files doesn't exactly match up well and they will check every document we upload regardless of what category we put it under. So that was a relief - basically just make sure you have your transcript, enrollment verification ceritificate, and a copy of the AAPI uploaded somewhere.
Seriously, dudes. If we don't get more distraction action, I might wind up submitting an application to a site in Alaska. I mean, they get a low number of applicants each year and have several positions...
Ha, had that thought myself.
You could hand me a stack of cash and a box of donuts and it still wouldn’t get me to stop obsessively hitting the refresh button on my email.

Ummm....I really don't recall giving you permission to use my likeness in your profile pic.
Congrats!!!
