On Average, How Long Does The Federal Hiring Process Take?
I've put applications in for several Federal job, a couple State, and one private. The private agency has already called me for an interview but the Federal jobs close this week and next week. I'm leaning towards the private job because I plan on going back to school for my PhD but I need to make some more money in the meantime, but I'd prefer to work for the gov't and the pay and job trypes are LOTS better. I'd just hate to take one job, start it, then jump ship, just to leave a year later.

- fed jobt won't even look until after the close date and usually much longer before you'll hear back from them. What agency and job?
- I've been on the candidate list (I've completed the interview process) for over a year for the dpt. of treasury. Guess what I have to start all over because the original vacancy I applied to is to old. Its a mess, but the pay is worth it, as soon as I pass the CPA exam I'm planning to pursue my PhD also. Good Luck!
- Sorry - at least three weeks after the close date. Plus, expect to be interviewed multiple times. No one person is allowed to make a decision - there is a system that must be followed and it takes time. The nature of government.
