Posted on the boards at work, the next Public application for off-the-street hiring will open July 7th and close on July 16th....

July 6th-17th, 2009
January 25th- February 5th, 2010

I was told today in class by an HR rep there are about 3-5,000 people with at least a TOL or more right now. Many just waiting on secuirty clerance and/or a class date.

Talk about back of the line.

I'm not surprised. These next 2 PUBNAT announcements are going to be extremely selective, IMHO.:crazy:

Yeah, but it matters most about your facility and how many are waiting. If your facility has nobody in line, good chance you will go quickly. However, some of the centers are super loaded atm.

Any way to find out whether or not a certain center is backed up with candidates?

It's hit or miss. This question has been asked quite a bit.

*EDIT*
You can choose TN. Looks like they are having a "major staffing problem" with the recent facility split in Memphis.
 
Would it be appropriate to apply for the upcoming OTS application if you're still in the process of going through the previous one, the PUBNAT7?

Just wondering, since these don't seem to come along very often and I don't know if it'd be a good or bad idea.

Absolutely. Nearly everyone here that's OTS applied for multiple PUBNATs. I personally applied for PUBNATs 3-7, as well as the Alaska PUBNAT from last year. Doing this gives you multiple chances at being selected, since you will be considered for each PUBNAT individually, unless the panels for different PUBNATs are combined, like they were for 3/4 and 5/6. In that case, you will actually get to make 4 geo pref selections instead of 2.

However, this new PUBNAT will supposedly not have a Geo Pref stage. Instead, the Geo Pref section of ASAP will be used. So how PUBNAT 8 will combine with 7, if it does, is still unknown.
 
Yes, it is common knowledge (though not confirmed) throughout a number of facilities that the open date for the new pubnat will be July 7th.

I would almost certainly bet geo pref's are within the application.

The CTI announcement that opened 3/2, the Geo pref. question was the very first part of the application. I would assume this cuts a great deal of time out of OKC's already busy schedule.

My $.02
 
Took a tour today and some of the controllers there mentioned that the next open date is July 7th. Cant wait to find out if this is the truth or not!
