Hey sobie saw your post as being UD. I as of last week can now say I am former UD. I am moving on to another agency and just wanted to encourage you to do the same. UD is okay as a stepping stone to other things, but as career I don't think so. I was supposed to be going to the house soon, which I didn't want, but luckily another job came along. My advice keep looking and applying to other places now so you have options. Just wanted to say hi and wish you the best of luck. When I saw your screen name I beleived I remembered you from some details so I thought I would drop you a message.

Got my panel interview set up for July 11. Was thinking about going in with my juggling routine to seperate myself from the pack...

LOL! I tried my tap dance routine (with top hat, tux, AND cane) in my 2nd USSS 1811 panel---don't think they were impressed... :D

Seriously, in my opinion, I think Fed interviewers are more impressed if you tell them what you're currently doing to "spice up" your resume, e.g. learning a language, working on your master's, and the like. One reason they'll be more interested is that they'll be impressed that you are dedicating more time to improve yourself while working a 40+ hour job. Makes sense eh?

That reminds me, I still have to submit my grad school app. Damnit! :rolleyes:

Xudfroj,
Hey whats up bro, so what branch you at?? My roomates at the VP. Im at the house. Yea , that last election was no joke, My life expectancy dropped by 5 yrs. So you get picked up agent, different agency, or just leaving? How long you been on? I agree with you 100 percent that UD is good as a starting point and hopefully to lead you into that 1811 gig. But 25 yrs ? mmmm....dont think so.....dont want to see what I will look like 10 yrs from now in UD. lol . Hey drop me a pm or whatever. Sobie

tunlrat,
In all seriousness Im not going to juggle in an interview with an ATSAIC and two other SA's in the room......but a pair of pull off pants and a stripping routine while playing the night at the Roxbery theme song should do the trick. Its all in the hips man,,if you can pull that off .....your in!! lol. We'll see. I have a pretty good strategy. A couple of things should help me out. Im pretty personable , so I should be fine. Its out of 20 points , so Im shooting for at least an 18.

Yes, you are definitely LE. Across the board, all LE guys (& gals) have a "unique" sense of humour. Must be all the downtime we have.

"Tear away" pants? I'll leave that one alone. Although, it has been joked that might be funny while standing in an inspection... :rolleyes:

I DID not know about that points system. Now you got me wondering. Is that just USSS or standard Fed practice?
