clamchowder

don't worry same.....LMAO and my thoughts exactly haha; even with scrubs I feel like im gonna have to buy a whole bunch hella last minute, bc im waiting on more info LOL

VERY CASUAL.... LMAO dress pants and this one shirt I have. I feel like ima look underdressed tbh.

oh GOOD call thank you for that; I need to read the email again haha

no actually, it was at this courthouse close to the civic center haha; and huh so strange, I have yet to get my actual unit schedule hmm LOL yes I did go...oh god I showed up 5 min late it was so bad bc parking. it was fingerprints again and a picture for an ID photo!!! so defo be prepared, bc I was not LMAO. I expect my photo to turn out so badly haha I was wondering this same thing; I was wondering if I should bring my laptop for potential things LOL. otherwise, id say maybe bring a notebook and pencil/pen, if anything

I was also wondering if we need to complete it asap...bc of that, I actually scheduled an appt for tmro in SF LMAO...I too, thought we would be doing this on Monday as well. also, did you receive what shift you are going to be working (like day/night shift)? I thought this was gonna be in the offer email, but I guess not hmm..more waiting LOL

anyone receive a "sponsorship complete" email, saying they have to get their photo and fingerprints done? I guess I was a bit confused, since I know we already had to get our fingerprints done long ago. maybe this is a separate thing hmm...like maybe for our badge? o: honestly if anything, it wouldn't hurt to!

I just sent out an email, asking if I should disregard the calendar that was sent out regarding classroom times/onboarding orientation (since my start date was supposedly changed to the 31st), but now they are saying I should disregard that email bc HR messed up. I am very very confused LOL

still no final offer; I also got an email just last night saying my start date was changed to 7/31

oh thats great to hear!! also, anyone get a final offer yet? o:

no idea...was wondering the same here haha

LOL I'm still waiting for info regarding scheduling my physical...contacted them 3 times now, but haven't heard anything!

nope...I sent out another email just now; hope I hear something back haha

completed all of that as well, but still haven't done my physical...sent an email out last week asking about scheduling info, but haven't heard back..not sure what to do LOL

not sure if we got concrete info regarding orientation yet. I have a feeling maybe the benefits will pop up soon for you; should be on the onboarding tasks. seems like we all get info at different times (prob bc we all have different timelines for processing our stuff like background checks etc) I have no idea LOL, I still havent received any info regarding this. has anyone else finally received info about actually scheduling the physical? wondering if I should send an email out asking about it.

Finally got an email about E-QUIP, but still nothing regarding the physical LOL. Also, are most of you guys waiting till orientation before filling out the benefits stuff in the on-boarding tasks? I always feel the need to ask, because the due dates make me feel like I need to complete stuff ASAP ? Don't wanna fall behind somehow haha.

yup! it just says this: "You must satisfactorily complete a pre-employment physical. Follow instructions provided to complete your pre-employment physical. Please enter the date that your physical was complete." LOL oh gosh I feel that; but OMG I hope u have a fabulous vacation XD

don't worry, im pretty confused too LOL. and oh noo this isn't the website where I accepted the offer. It's like a whole nother website to verify my employment (which I thought was interesting, bc I thought this would be taken cared of by them LMAO). and no I didn't receive anything about e-QIP yet!! I was thinking maybe they'd send that after getting fingerprints done or smth xD so currently I feel like I am on standby once more haha!

oh phew! thanks for sharing, that's reassuring haha. also did u guys get an email regarding employment verification via a website called The Work Number? I was forwarded an email, but the directions were a bit confusing. Not sure if I had to create an account and enter information on this website myself (or if this stuff would be taken cared of by other VA staff)

same here! I'm not sure what to do for the online portal, bc it says the "pre-employment physical" is due on the 7th o.o

was looking at some of the onboarding tasks on the portal and saw how things like the physical exam and vetpro are due so soon LOL. hope we get another email with more instructions, bc half of these forms I feel like im filling out wrong lmao. also was wondering when u guys plan on getting stuff like fingerprints done o:

oh what, onboarding portal? o.O where do I find that again? LOL now im wondering if I should email her asking if there r other forms I need to sign or smth

wait did u get multiple forms to sign? the only thing I got was the employee verification form LOL. otherwise after telling her I was interested in the job, I heard nothing haha

OMG CONGRATULATIONS AS WELL! Time to celebrate haha; was worth the wait :^D

I just got a call and email with a tentative offer (upon clearing pre-employment screening)!

Right? For me when I asked when to expect to hear something back, all I got was "MAYBE 3-4 weeks.." With the way they said it, I inferred this timeline could be longer LOL...
