Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am trying to start my officer package for direct commission (suppo) and need a list of items so i don't forget anything.
Being a GS employee or working for the VA doesn't mean you have an easier road ahead nor a guaranteed spot. Supply is SUPER competitive (selection rates have been sub 9% for the last few years).
Your OR should be able to provide you with a checklist that includes all the things you will need to submit a complete your package. Make sure you ask for it. My first OR didn't give me one and it wasn't until my 4th, yes 4th, OR who gave me the checklist.
Understatement of the year. Two CHOPS I know... One is a SVP of Worldwide Sales for some big company.. The other is some big whig at a bank handling finance and operations.Supply is SUPER competitive...
In defense of the ORs, they do not HAVE to provide you a checklist. The checklist is for the recruiter.
While it may seem like a good idea to simply push the checklist to an applicant and just wait for items to roll in, it doesn't work in practice. Some would be turned off to apply seeing a laundry list of items to complete. Plus, the checklist is not a step by step order or provides specifics on completing certain items.
