So…after you’ve completed your Hiring Process –
the e-QIP, your entrance exam, the polygraph, the interviews,
the tests…
what can you expect from your Final Offer?
We issue Final Offers based on mission requirements and availability,
which can change from the time you start the hiring process
to the time you complete it!
The needs of the agency and mission requirements will determine when
positions in the role you applied for will open up.
When you get your Final Offer, we’ll ask you to pick your work location
and start date from the duty stations that are currently available.
We’ll do our best to honor the location preferences you selected
when you applied, but it’s always possible hiring requirements will have changed
and your preferred location may no longer be available.
You’ll have a limited amount of time
to consider the options
and make a selection.
And the place you select
will be your work location,
so weigh your options carefully
and choose the location that’s right for you.
If you have any questions about what life and work is like at the duty stations you’ve been offered,
reach out to the local recruiter.
You can find the local recruiter by going to cbp.gov/careers,
selecting the position you’ve applied for,
and selecting “Contact a Recruiter”.
After you choose your duty station and accept your offer,
you’ll receive a Final Selection Letter that outlines the details of your
position, including your salary and start date.
Note that your starting salary is non-negotiable and based on
the established salary range and qualifications of the position
you’ve been offered.
You also must be in compliance with our Conditions of Employment by your start date, including the grooming standards.
If you’re not, your offer will be postponed, or may be cancelled.
See the Conditions of Employment video
or contact the Hiring Center for more information.
So, what can you expect from your first days on the job?
Shortly after your start date, you’ll head to your duty station,
sector, or field office for pre-Academy orientation –
detailed instructions will be included in your Final Selection Letter.
Then, Border Patrol Agents will go to the Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, New Mexico…
…and CBPOs will go to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia.
See the Border Patrol Academy video, or the Office of Training and Development’s Youtube Channel
or cbp.gov/fo-academy for more information.
After you graduate from your academy,
you’re part of the team!
A community that values growth, integrity and making a positive impact every day.
