The process took 3 months. I interviewed at TSA (Transportation Security Administration) in Dec 2018
Interview
After passing the computer based test, I went in for the face to face airport assessment with 2 interviewers. They took turns asking a series of situational questions which they read off of their papers about past interactions. After 20 minutes, I was excused and brought back to the main lobby. Another agent then came to get me and took me to another office. As I sat down she read from her paperwork stating that I hadn’t passed this step in the process. I was given no reason as to why I wasn’t accepted, only that I could try again in 6 months. I’m an 8 year combat veteran with more experience than 90% of the people walking into the TSA and yet they hire those people over a qualified and competent veteran. Boggles my mind.
