I got a call a week later from someone in HR who I know personally and she was completely surprised that they decided not to hire me. She made it sound like I bombed the "interview." Turns out, out of the 5-6 of us who interviewed...none of us were hired. 2 weeks later I got a call at 5:30 on a Friday, telling me to be in class at 8:00 am on Monday and not to ask any questions why I was now hired. So I show up. 8:30...they gave me a check for a days pay and told me I wasn't in this class and handed me a letter saying I was fired. When I was then recalled to TSA, I asked the CP about it and he chuckled, shook his head, and said that wasn't all that surprising. He said if it was something legimitment, I would have never been recalled to TSA, seeing how I was on probation there at the time as well. I still took all this personally until staying in a crashpad in STL and seeing about 5 new hirers per week come back with that same letter and pack their stuff up for home. I survived the valentines day massacre at TSA so I must know how to do something right. Trust me...I don't sweat it.


Oh...and after the last furlough from TSA...they were nice enough to call and tell me I was elegible for rehire if I would like to interview. I declined.
There's no excuse for treating people like that ANYWHERE. Glad that things have worked out for you regardless!
