How do promotions for Federal officers work?
my friend brought up to me tonight every few years the federal buro comes by and gives out promotions and usually that means you might need to transfer to another location
I am a bit upset if he does get it I mean I will be happy for him but he is someone I hold dear and i dont think I could stand him being in another state….
How do these promotions work?
who gets choses and under what conditions and circumstances?
Is it choses by age? performance? years in the job/position?
If an employee wants a promotion they have to apply for the job and, if you want the job, you go where the openings are. For example, I was a Data Review Technician for Social Security. I wanted to become a claims rep so I took the test and applied for the job. I was offered the job in eight different cities and not for the city I worked in. I moved out of state for the job and two years later I transferred back to the city I started out in.
When someone applies for a promotion, the people who look over the applications assign points. Points are assigned for special assignments, whether or not you have a college degree, any awards a person has received, leadership activity in organizations outside of the office, years of experience and all sorts of things. The points are added up and they then make a list of all the people interested in the job, ranking them by the points accumulated. The jobs are then offered to the people on the list with the highest points.
A person can apply for a particular job if they meet the requirements of the job. In the federal government, offices are sent job vacancy notices. The job vacancy lists the requirements, e.g. five years experience in a particular field or whatever and where the job vacancy exists. If you meet the requirements listed on the job vacancy you can apply for the job.
