It came from DOL directly! And no, I was always clear about to location constraints - I assume everyone just has to rank them again now haha
Cool. My panel said they were recommending me to the National Office. That was the last I heard from them.

Good luck!
One more quick question—sorry!—what type of questions did they ask you during your interview? Typical fed govt questions or more about you personally?
It was typical fed gov questions (so mostly standard behavioral stuff) but they ended with “is there something on your resume we haven’t covered that you want to make sure we get to” which was a bit more free flowing. They had separate questions about the National office and the regional offices (I’m interested in both) so it was helpful to know what they both do, how they differ, why specific interest in a location. Hope that helps!
Have you had any progress since this email?
Nope.
Any status change on Usajobs? Or does it still say referred for further consideration?

I tried reaching out to the Office for a status update and no response
I got the same email and my status still says referred for further consideration

I only applied for the national office. However, I have not heard anything beyond that. So this is helpful because it suggests what indicates still being under consideration.

Fwiw, I seem to recall one of the people on my panel saying there was one interview, they would recommend either the national or local branches and then the Office would caucus in November and then offers would go out in December. However, that timeline seems a little late compared to the other agencies moving to extending offers last week and this week.

Has anyone heard back from the OCC since the second interview?
I have not. Interview was 2+ weeks ago and they haven’t asked for references, so I’m getting pessimistic.
Mind letting me know if you hear anything, and I’ll do the same?
Still haven't heard from OCC.

Yes I had expressed interest in the regional offices and the national office, so I was asked to rank my preferences for nat'l and the five offices that the previous post had mentioned.

And wrt the timeline, I was under the same impression - that December was when they were expecting to extend offers.

Do you know about when you got the email? and were you told at your interview that they were referring you to national or local offices or both?

DOL historically says they will make offers in early December and historically is often late. What other agencies do isn't really relevant.

DOL reopened applications, though, and the new posting closed last week. Unless they’re planning to turn around those applicants’ interviews extremely fast, January seems more likely.

FWIW, a friend of mine was contacted with an offer from NSA on Wednesday. It was by phone and a letter followed.

I applied to the reopened solicitation and got the referral notice from USAJobs yesterday. No word from DOL yet, obviously.

Still haven't heard from OCC.
When were you told that offers would come out? My first interviewer said thanksgiving time frame, but my second interviewer said earlier.

FYI I got an email today from NSA saying I was not selected to move forward for a second-round interview.

Did anyone here interview with Procedure and Administration in the National Office for IRS Honors Program?

If so, when did you interview? Did they call your references? Extend an offer?
