This is helpful! I have a TJO currently and will be transferring from one agency to another....I would think the transfer process would be relatively quick since im already a fed...we will see

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

It should be a little quicker if your requirements carry forward.

[@dogwonderdogwondefr5175]

Very helpful! Does the two-step/HPR pay setting happen at the FJO time or does that have to be set in the TJO? In looking at the lateral transfer TJO, it's listed at step 1 (although my current position is already step 7).

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

If it's a lateral your step should stay the same. The TJO might me step one while they gather your current information to keep everything the same.

@@federalhiringadvice1385 Thanks so much! It was a bit of a shocker to see the TJO start me at the step 1!

How long should you wait to hear back for an interview from the time you are referred to the hiring manager?

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

I'd say no more than 2-4 weeks. If you haven't heard anything in 4 weeks call HR to check the status.

[@kevinarodgers]

Hi! I’ve been a contract specialist (GS7) with the VA for 3 months. I’d like to transfer laterally to HR. Should I wait a year for time in grade? I have 8 years as a Assistant Manager in the private sector along with 24 HR college credits.

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

No need to wait, start applying now. It could take some time to get through the process because of the volume of applicants that tend to apply.

[@rosemarybenton8886]

Also to piggyback off my last question I we'll have to relocate do you think I can ask for a two to three months out start date? Or will they take back the offer?

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

You can always ask. They won't rescind just for asking. Just have to prepare for if they say no.

[@bountyhunter8968]

I noticed the time and grade job had the required experience then said “AND” the time in grade requirements. Does it make a difference if the “AND” is not there. I know that could be a big thing, or mean nothing at all.

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

If it is for an internal posting both will be required.

[@SalcedoR]

Is the two-step rule the max pay that one would be able to get during a promotion? In other words, they will calculate your rate based on the two step rule and you won't be able to negotiate to a higher step than what results from the two-step rule? When reading the two-step rule it seems it is the minimum pay increase that is required for a promotion and not necessarily a limit.

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

The 2 step rule is the max. There is no ability to negotiate for more steps during a promotion.

[@SalcedoR]

Good to know. Thanks for the insight!

Hello, I'm currently a GS-11 step 1 if I transfer from one agency to another in a lateral move to a lower cost-of-living state will continue to get my same pay?

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

You'll likely stay the same grade and step with your locality reduced to the lower area's.

[@rineshagrimes9903]

Hey! When getting an civilian award, do you always get some sort of incentive or could it just be a certificate?

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

Awards could be cash, certificate, time off, etc. Just depends on what the supervisor submits.

I'm retired military and also a 100% disabled veteran and I currently work for the United States Postal Service, how does my current job with the post office and veteran preference help me being hired for a Federal government job? The post office is not considered government

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

The post office should be considered federal. You can use your veteran status to meet the area of consideration for positions or preference for jobs open to all us citizens.

I'm currently a gs9 applying for an open to public direct hire gs 12 position. I have 2 years of specialized private experience but it is only parttime (about 6 hours a week). Does that qualify as "specialized experience"?

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

@@hiero365 if it's part time experience you'll need enough years to equal 1 year of full time experience. 40 hours x 52 weeks = 2080 hours to meet the 1 year of specialized experience needed.

Do you think getting let go from a part time job because you called out sick more times than they allowed will affect your chances after receiving a tentative offer

I just was contacted to do drug testing and the man stated that this is typically the last step before EOD. Is that true?

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

It just depends. Most requirements are scheduled around the same time to complete them faster. So they don't wait for one to be done before starting the next. If that's what they told you I'd believe it.

[@rineshagrimes9903]

Due for step increase its been 1 year on January 17th.When should expected date be to see I increase and new sf50

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

The effective date should be the 14th. Coding usually processes during the 2nd week of a pay period. Then pays out on the next check. Your HR office can tell you for sure though.

Hello, I work as an HR Assistant at the VA. I want to take the SHRM-CP. if I do that & pass, can I show paperwork to supervisor for an increase?

So what if you go from a gs12 to a gg12...can you get two steps hire or renegotiate step if you moving to a new job in your area of expertise?

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

Not usually since it's a transfer within the federal government. GG should be similar to the GS pay plan. Always ask your POC though.

[@bountyhunter8968]

Do you have your wait a year to transfer within the same pay grade?

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

Nope, only to promote.

Are the government raises the same as step increase or separate?

There are step increases and cost of living increases. If the position is a career ladder then there are also grade increases.

Do you think it's a bad sign that I haven't heard from them for 2 months after the interview? I emailed HR but their response is No additional updates have occurred since the referral was issued.

[@federalhiringadvice1385]

I'd say that if you haven't heard anything for 2 months there is a good chance the hiring manager decided not to interview you.
