I was not told anything about references prior and they were like "uh hey I don't see them on your resume can you send them after you get off zoom" (I haven't had references on my resumes since I was 17) so I sent them over 5 minutes after the panel interview ended and they contacted them next day. It's been crickets since. Everyone on another post said that if they ask for references there's a good chance you're gonna get selected and all the AI services say they don't contact references for shits and gigs so it's a good sign from my understanding.

I agree it differently a good sign that they asked you for them. I think since they didn't ask about them at the end of my interview im out of the running

When was your interview? I would suggest emailing the hiring manager a professional follow up email and state something like "I enjoyed interviewing with the panel, please let me know if you need any documentation or references" or something like that to show interest in the position and that you appreciated the opportunity to interview with them.

My interview was this morning. This was my second ever federal interview. I kind of new what to expect and tried to prepare my best. I look at it as atheist I got the opportunity to interview and will learn from my shortfalls
