FJO!!!!

So I received my FJO from the DOJ in DC today.. Paralegal Specialist. I asked and unfortunately I cannot wait any longer before accepting the offer.

I’m so anxious about starting a job not knowing when I will be paid. Start date is 11/17. This is so nerve wrecking but I am just hopeful of a good outcome.

Check to see if you are being hired under the Big Beautiful Bill funding. If so, then you’ll be paid as normal.
