Accept or Except?  Shocked

Hmmmm.....

Honestly, I can't believe you actually picked up that one spelling mistake and actually tried to give this poor guy crap about it.  Especially when you follow it with a complete screw up on word usage.   

Anyway,

LanguageStudent,

I am quite sure that if they were no longer interested in you they would send you a letter letting you know that you are no longer being considered for the position.  With U.S. Govt. jobs it can usually take a long time between steps to be contacted, so patience is a virtue in any application process.

Dima,

If you passed the test, they will contact you for an interview. If you pass the interview, they will offer you a salary and then you will be scheduled for a polygrapgh. It takes a long time. Hang in there.

Opp

gelbdisliker,

Actually, I made the comment towards you because you chose to attack LanguageStudent  first.  I found it kind of ironic that you attacked him and then used the the word "accept" instead of "except".   

I am no spelling or grammar genius, however, before you go off attacking someone about their misspelling of the word "receive", you may want to learn the proper meaning and spelling of the words you use.

Just my two cents, as this guy asked for advice from people on this board and you decided you show your unprofessional nature and try to be witty instead of answering his question.

With most federal jobs you are going to see a long time from time of application and test to actual time of EOD.  It is unfortunately just the way things work with a bureaucracy that is as large as our government is.

Be patient, DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB, be more patient, apply for other jobs as well, be even more patient, Earn a doctorate degree, be even more patient and finally one day you will get a call.

It takes time Undecided

Dear Language Student,

Dimas is 100% correct.  Even if you have an extraordinary skill greatly needed by the government, there are no current methods to shortcut the process.

To put it in one word, the federal application process is brutal.

To expect "appreciation" for your special talents in a quick hire is a long shot.  Hang in there and per Dimas, "be patient."

Regards.
