The May schedule of courses offered by the NIH Transition Center is available at http://extramuralmeo.nih.gov/documents/TransitionCenter-May2004Calendar.pdf.

Applicants for the GS-8 task leader positions in the Division of Extramural Activities Support (DEAS) may want to take advantage of the class on interview preparations, in light of a recent change to the selection process for those positions. As announced previously, review panels will evaluate the applications for the GS-8 positions (that is occurring now) and forward their recommendations to the DEAS leadership. But in a departure from earlier plans, the final candidates for the GS-8 positions now will be interviewed (initially there were no plans to interview candidates for the task leader jobs).

As always, we encourage you to visit the extramural MEO web site at http://extramuralmeo.nih.gov for the latest information. The FAQs on the NIH Transition Center were updated last week.
