The dance of federal hiring: We at @USOPM have heard that some hiring managers feel obligated to make job offers at "Step 1," the lowest comp level for a particular job grade (or "GS" level), even when the candidate's skills merit a higher Step. Then, the hiring manager instructs the candidate to reject that initial offer, after which they will make a new offer at the appropriate Step. We don't think that is an efficient hiring process - for agencies or for candidates. So today we issued guidance to effect a final curtain call on this dance!

NEW 49ers playoff path UPDATE after the Niners loss to the Seahawks.

If the Rams beat the Cardinals tomorrow; the 49ers will be the 6-seed. If the Rams lose, the Niners will be the 5-seed.

If the Eagles win and Bears lose tomorrow; the Eagles get their teeth kicked 2-seed and the Bears drop to 3.

If the Bears win, they’ll be a be the 2-seed and Eagles will be the 3-seed.

Even though the Bucs beat the Panthers today, if the Falcons win tomorrow, Carolina is in as the NFC South champ.

So the 49ers will either go on the road to play the Bears, Eagles, Panthers or Buccaneers.

Help desk is the best entry point into tech and everyone treats it like it’s beneath them. You’re making $40K-$50K while learning Active Directory, ticketing systems, and how corporate IT actually works. Do it for 18 months then pivot to anything. It’s paid training.
