Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
I had my initial interview about two weeks ago and was informed call-backs would be conducted in October. Did anyone else who interviewed get a more specific timeframe (i.e. beginning of October, end, etc.)? Thanks!

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
OP here. The hiring committee is just now getting a critical mass of the first round evaluations, so I would not expect to hear about second round interview for another couple of weeks.

If we haven't had a 1st round interview yet, are we SOL?

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
I had a first round interview on 9/19 over the phone. I didn't get to ask when applicants would hear about second rounds, but I'm assuming early October?

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
Going off of last year's topic, it looks that way. I submitted my application at just about the very last minute and had my 1st round interview on 9/20. I would think that means they are done with the 1st-round.sam509 wrote:I had a first round interview on 9/19 over the phone.

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
OP recruiter here. First round interviews should be pretty much done, but there may be a few stragglers doing some at the last minute. Second round interviews should occur in mid-late-October. I am not involved in the process of selecting/notifying second round candidates, but would expect that to take place over the next few weeks.

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
My interviewer (late August) said she expected decisions to be at the very end of September into early October - so next week or the week after sounds like the right timeline, for what it's worth.

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
Does anyone know if they will reach out to us if they decide not to conduct a call-back? From last year's posts it looks like people just never heard back and didn't receive a rejection email.

Did all of the second-round notifications go out at once?

Which state do you go to school in if you don't mind me asking? I know the DOT is organized in regions based by state(s) so I'm just curious if you're in the same region as me. Congrats!

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
Do the different DOT regions send out second-round invites at different times, or are they all sent out at the same time, regardless of region?Anonymous User wrote:DOT Honors Attorney recruiter here.

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
All honors attorneys are stationed in DC, so I don't know why they'd go by region.

Re: DOT Honors Program 2020 Hiring
They are all stationed out of D.C., but there are different recruiters responsible for each region and the schools in those regions. For example, Region 5 covers Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan. That's why I was just curious if maybe one region has sent out callbacks, while others haven't. I agree it would make sense they all go out at once and this could be a total long shot, but I just figured I would ask the recruiter on here!Anonymous User wrote:All honors attorneys are stationed in DC, so I don't know why they'd go by region.

I got a callback offer on 10/7, so there's definitely still hope! Second interviews are the last week of October.Anonymous User wrote:Has anyone else received a callback?
