I'm no longer expecting to get the call.
State is really cutting back on their hiring. The upcoming budget fight has them scared. At the current rate, they will hire half as many people as they did last fiscal year. So far, they eliminated one of the proposed classes for the year, and for the last several classes, they have cut back on the number of people they hire from 95 to around 55. For the March class, there were only five slots given to management candidates. Management offers reached #8 on the list of more than 100. I'm in the high 20's.
At this point, I expect to expire off the list in August. There are just three more classes to be called before I expire. Based on the way State was hiring over the last two years, I had thought all along that I'd get the call, but they keep moving the finish line, and now it seems out of reach.

Think positive...you just never know. A few people may end up pregnant or all of a sudden won't be able to go. Hang in there. I am sending you a ray of hope.
I'm sorry, Nick. I know how you feel. I'm retesting next month with (nearly dashed) hopes of getting another invite to the OA. I know I'm going to expire in October.
Keep strong, Nick. You are going to make it there. You have had great perserverence, and you deserve this. Passing the Spanish test is an enormous accomplishment, and you should feel proud of yourself. Keeping my fingers crossed for the May class!
