2022年10月4日 · From my understanding, the only way you could not get the job after the tentative job offer is that the background investigation uncovers something alarming. Or they go into a hiring freeze between your tentative and official offer. In most cases, within 7 days of tentative you will get the official offer. And here is one pitfall I made.

2022年9月8日 · A conditional offer is an agreement between two parties that an offer will be made if a specific condition is met. These usually have interviews and extra steps before a tentative offer is made. A tentative offer means you were selected and are the person the hiring manager has decided they want working for them.

2021年6月4日 · I got a tentative offer for a GS11 step one. Part of the initial offer was a request for my most recent SF50. I'm currently a WL-12 and was happy with the offer. Within an hour of submitting my SF50, they came back with an offer for step 6. $11k pay raise off the bat! Just trying to say that it can happen.

Just an FYI for anyone looking through here. DO NOT put your notice in with your current employer until you get your FIRM offer from the VA. ( I didn’t put mine in) I interviewed, was selected, got my tentative offer, filled out ALL paperwork, did my background check, fingerprints, gave them 6 vials of blood and my offer was rescinded!

2022年6月18日 · For reference, I'm a permanent federal employee and I recently accepted a promotion with another agency. From verbal Tentative Offer to written Tentative Offer it was only a few hours, but from written Tentative Offer to passing background investigation to Firm/Final Offer, it took 2 1/2 weeks but I'm already a federal employee so that helped.

2023年6月20日 · This subreddit is for all those interested in working for the United States federal government. Since the application process itself is often nothing short of herculean and time-consuming to boot, this place is meant to serve as a talking ground to answer questions, better improve applications, and increase one's chance of being 'Referred'.

2022年12月6日 · In my experience, the tentative offer only meant that they want me for the job. I didn’t get any details with the TO and all the negotiations happened after I accepted it. I definitely could have backed out later and I don’t think it would hurt my reputation in any way.

2019年7月27日 · The offer is only "tentative" because you are pending background check, you generally can consider it an offer and i would try to work out your thoughts now as much as you can. In my experience I never even received something that feels like an offer when you get the "final offer letter" it's more like - here's your letter you passed background ...

What are the worst case scenario(s) that the offer can be rescinded? You lied on your application. Or they do a MQ check and it turns out you don't meet MQs. Or the previous person in the position is exercising mandatory reinstatement. Also MQ’s are all verified before tentative offer is sent, correct? Depends on the department.

2022年5月10日 · I received and accepted a tentative offer for a position. Does that typically mean I was the final selection, or can multiple candidates receive a tentative offer for the same position? To rephrase: is a tentative offer the hiring agency's way of saying, "you've got the job, assuming your background check clears"?
