I applied for a job with the federal government. I was called by a close friend to say I got the job. I also received another email from another friend, a contractor who said welcome in into the job. Once this info was realsed by the selection official someone who knew me made a call and advised the selection Offcial of some past history and I was not selected. Both people who told me I was selected were not part of the selection. They should not have even knew I was selected the Seletion official told some people and then reversed what he told people. I beielve ethic and privacy rules were completely violated.

They surely were and I am sure if you report it, the people who called you will have a warning put in their file.

Hello John:

It's true. But they are NOT violations of the Privacy Act.. Although it LOOKS like that act would protect you, it DOESN'T. It protects company's FROM you.
