DOJ Honors Program 2017-18 Forum

[Anonymous User]

For anyone who was selected as an OCIJ finalist and had their references checked. Did they call them or send an email? I just want to make sure that my references didn't get an email stuck in their spam. Also if it was an email did is come directly from OCIJ or through AVUE?

Is anyone an EOIR-OGC finalist yet? Is there any sense of what chances are of being offered the job if someone has been named a finalist for that subdivision specifically? Also if someone has been named a finalist, have their references been checked already?

Haven’t had references checked.

Just got an offer from CLB. I haven’t accepted yet.

Status changed to “Finalist” for Tax-Crim. Fingers crossed it turns into an offer.

Is this for Honors Program or SLIP?

SLIP only designates Tax generally, so I'd assume this is Honors.

They don’t give you an offer into a section. You get hired into CLB generally and then in the spring you submit which offices you’d like to work for and they Place you then. You could get placed in Fraud, National courts or CORPFIN. Also I don't believe they checked my references.

So if mine hasn’t hasn’t changed, I assume this is an indication that I’m out of the running, right?

Judging by Deana's post on Avue yesterday, it sounds like they've completed their designations but she said they could add more before the weekend. Fingers crossed for you!

I’m sorry but I’m not sure what Avue is. I’m an Honor applicant, is Avue a SLIP thing?

Thanks for the encouragement either way.

Avue is the site on which you submitted your application! There's a community board on there where Deana posts updates.

Have either of you had your references contacted?

[Anonymous User]

Any other AFMLS finalists? I'm guessing Im out of the running since I have not been designated. Congrats to finalists!!

Just got an email from one of my references that OCIJ sent him an email questionnaire. Sounds like good news I hope

They don’t give you an offer into a section. You get hired into CLB generally and then in the spring you submit which offices you’d like to work for and they Place you then. You could get placed in Fraud, National courts or CORPFIN. Also I’m the one they never checked references for....

To clarify, they called my employer yesterday. And gave me the offer today. My references weren’t called.
