TSA Interview

OK well everyone here has been extremely helpful. NOW I call upon you once again. I have an interview at TSA in two weeks. Anyone give me some tips? What can I expect, etc.

Go for the experience but keep your options open. Just an opinion YMMV.

LoL yeah I'm kidding man, but honestly, go in with a smile on your face and show them a willingness to learn and you won't go home disappointed! Best of luck...Management is awful (you should have picked up on that by now!) but overall it isn't a terrible place...tons of great guys to fly with and even a few class-acts at Headquarters in STL.

Well I'm kinda stoked. I mean if things don't work out after like 6 mos I can go to pretty much any airline, especially ones that fly the 145. So I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried about this stack of paperwork they gave me! WHOA!!.

To have the attitude of just going somewhere else if I dont like it further justifies first year fo pay, and training contracts.

Some of the least successful people that I have met in life have been those who consistently jump from job to job. Extended periods of unemployement or multiple jobs within a short period of time are serious red flags, and it may not get you the first time around, but somewhere down the line it could come back to destroy you. Think first, and dont worry the shiny jets will always be there.
