Appeals (What You Can Do if You Were unfairly Passed Over)
This video training program explores some of the options federal job applicants have when they are not selected due to suspected improper practices (either by HR or by management). The discussion covers the following topics:
- How to combat suspected discrimination in the hiring process
- The one law that protects Active and Veterans from discrimination
- The key office you can contact for help if pre-selection occurred (‘they knew who they wanted’)
- The laws that federal HR personnel must follow during the hiring process
- Why contacting your congressmen/women may not be a good idea
- How the HR chain of command might be your best ally
- When to contact the quasi-judicial body in the Government, the ‘MSPB’
- How an obscure 50 year old law can help shine the light on what happened behind the scenes of the hiring process
- Much, Much more.
