We are trying to establish a baseline since we are not getting any directives.

No, I have some experience with pre-award functions. This is what I'm used to.

Thank you everyone for replying. I appreciate your advice. This is a cradle to grave shop for services and supplies contracts. It's one of the reasons why I was excited to take the job. Well, I'm assigned work but one or two things happen. 1) I'm told the there is nothing more to do at the moment and they will reach back out to me. 2) They will not respond when I follow up to ask what are the next steps. I've talked to my supervisor about this and was told that they are too busy. I'm wondering why I was hired at this point. The other new hires and I are going through the team drive to try to piece together the agency's policy for acquisitions so we can create a checklist for ourselves.

Hi, I'm a new specialist and other than FAC Level I classes my team won't provide any hands on training. I've asked several team members and was ignored. They don't even respond to my emails any more. I've talked to my supervisor and didn't get any help. Is there a way to gain practical experience without throwing my new team under the bus or is my career over before it even started?
