The appraisal goes to the 1st RO first, not the subject
Yep, but remember,if done properly, subject and first RO should have sat down and populated a lot of the report on day one of the reporting period, filling out objectives etc...
The two boxes on the old F6000 that the subject used to fill in before giving it to the 1st RO are automatically taken from your JPA preferences
Yep, update those preferences and aspirations boys and girls. Advice from the current random posting plot is do this carefully and be careful what you ask for. If you want to stay where you are,say so!
Copy and paste from Word into JPA will save you countless hours of pain. In my experience JPA is unbearably slow and prone to dumping you out of the report writer without saving your data. One gotcha here is if you try and paste too much text into the box nothing will appear at all, even if it is just one character over the text box size.
Yes, yes, yes, please do this or you will have a mare!
The promotion recommendations page is very confusing, do I have to fill in all the boxes? Eg the ones on specialist employment?
Good question, guidance is pants! Sorry can't help, surely there is an HR professional out there that can help???
