Hi all, I accepted an offer. My start date is set for just after the new year. I’m getting worried with the current CR ending December 11 that the gov could be shutdown when I’m supposed to start. what happens in this case? I don’t want to give my two weeks notice at my current company and then have a shutdown because then I wouldn’t have any pay/insurance coverage (doubt I’d be eligible for back pay if I couldn’t start during shutdown)

I applied for a Direct Hire Biological and Physical Sciences position on 7/11 I was referred on 7/22 for GS11 and GS12. Then complete silence. I reached out to HR on 9/18 inquiring about the status of the hiring process. On 9/22 they responded that a candidate has yet to be selected and the position is still vacant. What is the likelihood that I will be contacted for an interview?

Can anyone please share some updates on August GSFC insource applications? Questionnaires? TJOs? timeline?

Thanks

TLDR: Following the interview, how likely is it that I'll hear back in 1-2 weeks like the hiring manager predicted?

..................................................................................

Hello all! My first post, I've been reading on here for some time and it's been very helpful. I thought I would both share my experience and ask my question.

I applied to a DHA (external) role at Langley Research Center back in late June, was referred 10 business days later, and was invited to an interview late Sept.

I interviewed early Oct, was invited to a follow-up chat with the hiring manager answering any questions I had (we talked about the role, team, etc.), then I was told he would be making his selection to HR the following day or by the end of that week.

He also told me I should hear back in 1-2 weeks, and that he's moving quickly to fill this role ("urgent need"). However, I know there's a lot of work being done regarding insourcing efforts.

Is it likely I'll hear back in 1-2 weeks or so like the hiring manager said?

Just like everyone who dreams of NASA, I'm eager to hear back to see if I was selected for the TJO. I figure if I don't hear back after 3 weeks, I'll reach out to the hiring manner for an update.

Thanks for reading and/or replying!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for vanpooling or carpooling options to NASA Kennedy Space Center from Orlando, Tampa, or anywhere along the I-4 corridor.

I've already contacted Commute with Enterprise through the Space Coast Area Transit program, but I'm wondering if there are any other options or existing carpool groups that might not be widely advertised.

Is anyone currently using one of these services? Are there any groups with available seats, and how can someone join or sign up?

I'm sure others might be interested in these options as well.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or information. Thanks!

Subcontractor here. I have ~ 17 years cumulative time in on my prime’s contract between 2006 and now (-6 years working Shuttle and primarily ISS with a lay off in between).The past 11, going on 12 years,I’ve been working on Orion in the exact same role that aligns with the 0301 series, currently open under a DHA listing as part of insourcing across multiple locations. My position co-locates me onsite with the customer; most of my contract got renegotiated with the bulk of the employees going full remote, only going to the office to support customers for meetings.

My subco is based in another state and I’m hesitant to use my company’s POC for the employer as the supervisor on the header of my resume, since they have zero insight into what I do. Heck, the direct report l have on the prime’s side barely knows! I’d have to go up a level or two in management to find someone who does!

First question: For my resume submittal, should I list my direct report on the prime contract as the supervisor, or the POC I have at my direct employer who doesn’t have insight to anything I do (they basically cut the check and provide the benefits)?

Second question: Any thoughts on Grade selection given the years of experience? Posting is a combo for 0301/0343 GS 9/11/12/13/14/15, so I assume it’s not a ladder position.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Currently a 2210 in DC. Spouse and I are both from Florida and are contemplating a return for warmer weather and family (Tampa & West Palm). I wonder what is like living and working at KSC? Was looking at Viera area - is the commute too long? Does getting thru gate and parking add much to commute? Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!

I want to be a planetary scientist at NASA and want to determine the feasibility of this goal from those in-the-know.

I have a B.S. and M.S. in Astronomy (with a B.S. minor in Planetary Science). I failed out of a Physics PhD program because I failed a class twice, though I completed all of my other required coursework (including getting an A in my uni's Planetary Science class). The reasons (both medical and personal) that led to my failing out of my PhD program have since been addressed, so they won't be an issue in the future.

I am currently working as a physical scientist for the federal government in another agency and am planning to have them send me to another PhD program in my area (this one with more of a focus on planetary science) in a couple (~2-3) of years. So, it would likely be a couple of years before I am ready to apply to NASA.

I am wondering if my dream of becoming a planetary science research scientist at NASA is feasible given the information I provided. Any suggestions would also be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Anyone know info on the NASA security specialist position. I randomly applied and was referred to the hiring manger for gs13 position but have no idea about the job. Is it good or bad? High turnover? Bad QOL? Thanks

I applied in August for the DR-1310 series at GSFC. I’m currently a contractor there, but I haven’t heard anything about which positions are being converted or when selection decisions will go out. I suspect it’s because I wasn’t selected. Has anyone received an update beyond the “referred” status? Also, now that the same jobs have been reported, does it even make sense to reapply?

Hello! I'm curious if any hiring managers are willing to share what their experience is like after a job announcement is closed and applicants see the status go from "Received" to "Referred." Do hiring managers really get all the hundreds and potentially thousands of resumes that are cleared to go through to decide who to interview? Is there a system in place to filter and vet certain applications and resumes for what you are looking for? Is there a pre-determined ranking system? Any insight, if possible, is greatly appreciated to learn about the process from your level and side of things.

Hey everyone, I’ve received an offer at KSC as a GS12 in engineering as an external applicant. I was wondering how life was working there these days? I’ve been weighing pros and cons of accepting mainly due to the turbulence from last year. Would you recommend working at KSC right now or waiting a bit?

Any help would be most appreciated, TIA!
