FJO received!

So got referred via a friend to a non-supervisory 14. Never posted on usajobs as they have direct hire authority in a niche field. Always told you get the job via connections. Seems true in my one sample size.

Interviewed in mid-February. TJO in early April. Tried to negotiate higher with little luck. Background and fingerprints done and then FJO received last Thursday. Start in July. Start terminal leave from service in June.
