Pubnat 5/6

I can tell when I'm not wanted. However, before I go, I'll say looking at signatures I'll guarantee the following will get picked up:

sixthman20
tacotico
bigBOSS

and probably utamav.

Everyone else, couldn't tell ya.

You guarantee it? That's pretty baller. Can you also tell me where I'm going and my class date?
 
I haven't seen many people picked up for the states I chose, so I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm pretty pessimistic on my chances of getting picked up, but that's mainly to keep from getting disappointed

I actually put CO first and TX second. Hopefully I don't need a second time around....

I feel ya. I was way over confident ..... and the email never came.... I'm pretty prepared to not get selected this time. If you have low standards, you get disappointed much less often.
 
Glad to hear people are gttg picked up for TX - it was my second choice for 5&6. but I'm not to sure I want to be working there if this doom and gloom abouit swine flu comes true

That's the truth. I feel like I've done everything I can, so now it's just sit and hope. With that said, I'm going about everything like I won't get it. I'd rather not be crushed.
 
I really hate the whole you must choose at least 1 but not more than 2 states for geoprefs thing. I truthfully would work anywhere they want to send me.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it either, but I sort of understant it. A lot of people would probably put it, and then when they got sent to Idaho or North Dakota and didn't like it they would leave. I mean I would go anywhere, but I'm sure there's a few that would say that but not really mean it.

They pretty much have to do it that way. Many people will take any location to get the job, but once they check out not many people would stick around some of the po-dunk towers out there. I'm sure facilities don't want to deal with training people just so they can transfer to a more desirable location as soon as they possibly can.

How important is it to have talked to ATMs in the states that you've picked? I've gone through a lot of posts that pretty much say it's hard to get hired unless you do this. Just wondering how important it is

Only matters if they feel inclined to pass your name along to whoever's making selections for their facility. Then, it only matter if that person is inclined to take their ATM's suggestion, put it on a list, take it to OKC, and actually use that list. And that's assuming that they have enough space there, that there aren't too many people going for that spot, or whatever else could pop up.

In other words, it could help a lot, or it could make no difference whatsoever.

We all for some reason believe that the test is king. I'm still not entirely sure why we believe that, other than that other people on here have told us that. I have noticed one thing though, that I find hilarious:

Everyone who scored 95-100 is totally sure that the test is the only thing that matters, and that they definitely care about your score.

Everyone who scored 85-90 is totally sure that other stuff must matter and that even if it IS just the test, all they care about is that you got WQ.

*sigh* Right. Got that all figured out too, eh? Just like you were able to write off as pointless doing any sort of study for the AT-SAT? Look, just because you're too lazy to search through the forums to see the things posted up which were quoted directly from the people who do the selecting that support that, don't go complaining about it. I know you really, really, really, reallyreallyreally hope that they're going to look at your background, work history, blahblahblah, and make a decision based upon your superior analytical skills which you so astutely have posted up here by disregarding stuff which was well-established here and elsewhere months ago... but it ain't gonna happen, man.

Or, since you're disinclined to believe anything you hear unless it's in line with what you hope to be true, why bother listening to us at all? You've got a couple of weeks to hear back about the panels, so why not track down your district manager of choice to ask them what role the AT-SAT will play in the hire of an OTS candidate? I've had three willingly go over it with me, I'm sure they'll do it with you too, if you ask nice.

That is... if the panels are even real at all. All of the people with AT-SAT scores over 90 believe that they are, so it's doubtful.

I didn't get picked up for NY or VT. Granted VT only has one facility and they have like 12 CPC and 12 trainees.

You didn't pick En Route Only, right?

Kidding. Keep in mind that they may not have been hiring that particular round. That's what kept me out of my facility of choice for PUBNAT3/4, according to their ATM.

Everyone I spoke to said the absolute most important thing was to make sure you got as high as you could on the test. I visited the facility I want before I took the test, and every person told me to make sure I get a great score. I asked if that was it and almost every response was "basically, yeah."

Your score was 100, so you're probably making that up. If there's even an AT-SAT at all.

I think we've got some score envy going on here.

Edit: I just realized you're from Niwot. I didn't know they had computers up there. Must be getting classier by the day. Have the suburbs reached all the way out there yet? It was kinda more rural when I was growing up... ...yes, I'm highjacking the topic, but there's nothing else to talk about while we wait for our futures to be decided, so, you know.
