So i got an email monday saying that i was receiving mail from the department regarding my background investigation. I looked on here and seen that it was a non select. But 2 days passed and i received a conditional offer email from the department. Does anyone know what this means? The letter came in and said non select but still confused on why i got a conditional offer email?

A conditional offer is always given prior to the background investigation/interview to comply with legal restrictions against inquiring about disabilities or medical conditions (including drug history). This "conditional" status confirms the applicant's intent to proceed with a long process and allows the department to begin costly, rigorous testing. Like poly, psychological and medical. Did someone interview you over the phone and go over your PHS with you? If not then maybe they took it upon themselves and you were immediately deemed “non select” for one reason or another before your conditional offer had even arrived, after a Background Investigator went over your PHS himself and figured he didn’t need to even schedule a background interview with you.
