That’s what I’ve heard but so far I’m just stressed and over worked and have no clue what’s going on. Tbh I recommend waiting until in person is an option. Virtual onboarding is a nightmare.

Okay so not KPMG

Interviewed for a GS-15 (same agency but different office) and totally aced the interview with excellent answers. They know I’m a top performer with senior references.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
