Really confused right now. I got a call from a recruiter yesterday about an interview tomorrow with a company I've been dying to work for. I was so excited! Then he calls back saying the interview's off because they discovered I also applied through their website. If they were interested enough to want to meet me, shouldn't I still be in the running somehow?

The employer likely has a vendor contract with the recruiter that has terms that applied in your scenario, leading to the interview being cancelled.

For next time, don't apply at the company. Always work directly with a recruiter for your best chance.

GT1 - this applies only if you know of a third party recruiter that is looking the fill the position you’re interested in. This works because the recruiter can ensure that your resume makes it to the hiring manager directly. If you apply through the company, your application needs to make it past their automated sorting system, then through internal recruiting, and then it gets to the hiring manager. It can be tricky to find the right third party recruiter as they don’t openly advertise the companies that they work with and they typically don’t disclose it until you hop on a call with them. Me personally I’ve had better luck applying through LinkedIn and/or through an internal referral.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

Applying to roles within the same federal agency. I know you need one year within the probationary period, but can I apply to a higher GS level? For example, if I'm GS 9, receive a promotion to GS 11 at the end of probation, would i be able to apply to GS 13 roles if I'm qualified? Tried researching this for hours but only found info on applying to other agencies.
