Hey Everyone ,
I just received an offer from LA General, I haven't gotten the details pertaining to start date but I believe it will be in April from what I was told during my interview. I want to connect with anybody else that is set to start here keep each other updated!
Hi everyone,
I just got a call from ONA, and the worst case scenario I was anticipating came true. As of four days ago, there is a HARD FREEZE on hiring with no anticipated end in sight. I had received my banding letter (band 1 with 100%) and was waiting to be contacted for an interview.
That means that nobody, new grad or otherwise, will be offered jobs.
As an MDA scholarship recipient, I am *contractually bound* to accept any position offered by the County for the next *18 months*, and I am positive I am not alone in this boat. I was told that, if or when hiring unfreezes, I would be contacted first for a position.
Condolences to all who were hopeful. If you didn't receive a scholarship, though, know that envious of you, as I did not apply anywhere else, and would necessarily need to drop out of any other new grad position or job I found later down the line (or pay the County thousands of dollars back.) They're really serious—look elsewhere if you haven't been offered a job, NOW.
