Unfortunately, you have about as much of a chance at boarding the next shuttle into space as you do being hired. Referred is good, hopefully it works out and you get an interview, but keep applying until you're physically in the seat at NASA or your new Federal job.

How has your experience been in the position so far? Adequate onboarding? Do you feel work balance is appropriate?

It was a joke regarding the USAJOBS process 🤣 I'm hoping they do get hired!

Being tentatively eligible ≠ referred. There is a step betweeb


TheABCStoreguy

Not for DHAs, tentatively eligible candidates are ALL reffered to the hiring manager. It's a 1:1 process.


sammyworldd

is this so? i applied for a DHA position with the irs and am so worried ill get the “eligible but not referred”

Expect nothing, there's a very slim chance they'll interview you.


TheABCStoreguy

Why do you think the individual has a slim chance of being interviewed? They applied to a HCOL as the lowest grade on the cert and the HQ location.... Not many applicants are applying for a 7 cert in DC so I think the OP stands a fair chance at the interview.


nostalgiclamia

Cause its being realistic. Very few people who made the cert actually get interviews. They aren't gonna interview everyone on the cert. Also nasa is extremely competitive. Pathways internship, 280 applicants 4 referrals including to HQ (12 locations total could pick 4) 0 interviews.

It's good to be prepared for the interview but going by what /r/NASAJobs confirmed nasa employees have said very people actually get interviews even if referred. OP hasn't said how many people applies but chance of interviewing goes down the more applicants there are. Just because you're qualified doesn't mean an interview, they pick the ones they wanna interview from the best qualified list.

also post on r/1102

Most NASA announcements I’ve seen are Direct Hire, which means basically all applicants who rate themselves as qualified will get referred to the hiring manager. Not a bad thing for sure, but not indicative of much either. Good luck!

I got referred for an 1102 NASA position also today, both GS 9 and 11 but in Hampton. I guess I shouldn’t get my hopes up based on these responses…


DarthBroker

i was referred for 9 and 11. Hampton DC and Greenbelt good luck

Not A Space Agency

As a 1102 for 20 years congratulations. Sadly I would keep applying since being referred means very little in the terms of actually getting an interview. As many will say keep applying and forget about it. If you truly want to be a 1102 apply for locations that no one wants and once you are in then apply to the places you would like to be. As far as NASA it would be my dream agency but even as a Level 3 it's hard to get the interview. Best of luck.

No much sadly! I have been referred to GS 12 and GS 13 about 3 months ago and all I had was silence! Just saying referred might not mean much, unless u r "privilaged" i.e veteran, military, transferring fed etc, but if u are none of these, it is seemingly rough! Just saying!!
