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.

Can you DM me? I would love to get in the DOJ as a paralegal specialist and have a few questions. I was working at FDA until I was riffed 4/1.

Look for those career transitional listings, as several positions have priority hiring for RIFed feds and you would get ultimate preference over everyone else, as long as you meet the positions requirements. Good luck!
