New phone call:
Me: (i lay my situation/story out)
"Given that your webpage doesn't indicate that we have to include
military experience in the employment history for it to be counted
as previous work experience, your system is at fault and I'm losing
out on the Pubnat4 authorization process."
operator: there's nothing we can do. if you didn't fill out the application
in the correct manner and the announcement has been closed
there's no way for us to go back in and change your information
and you'll have to just wait for the next announcement to
process.
Me: I understand that, but... once again, all of my qualifying work
experience is in the application and can be VIEWED as qualifying in
pubnat4. I fill everything out correctly per YOUR INSTRUCTIONS on
asap page.. but you failed to make note that our military experience
had to ALSO be included in employment. Is there any way I can get
it changed.
operator: If we went in and changed your information that means we
would also have to go in and change information for anyone
else who filled out their application information incorrectly.
Me: well, anyone else in the same situation I'm in DIDN'T fill anything out
incorrectly.. YOU FAILED TO INFORM US THAT WE HAD TO INCLUDE
IT in employment information. therefore your process is at fault and
the application/eligibility information may be skewed or otherwise
incorrect.. anyone in my shoes should be given a chance for further
review.
operator: i'm sorry but the announcement is closed and if you missed out
because you filled it out wrong you're going to have to wait
until the next announcement is processed...
Anyone have an in @ OKC?
