Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-19-ALLSRCE-61676

It's a long form but for someone like me who has lived at only one address all my life, and never been in trouble with the law, and only had 2 jobs, I could probably skip a bunch of pages as I would not have any information to put on them. Probably would be pretty quick for me to fill out.

Man you are in good shape then. I was in college for five of the past 10 years moving almost every year to a new dorm/apartment. Then with my job I had to move three times as well. I was a rolling stone for sure.

To try and get ahead of the game I have begun compiling a spreadsheet of my residences and employment history. I just browsed an example of the background check form and its a beast (127 pages).

It has about 34 sections but doesnt take too long if you have all the information ready .

Yeah I am in the same boat. I have already started gathering the information and have finished the addresses portion . . . I have moved 13 times since 2013. Now I am working on a list of the countries I have traveled to (somewhere around 20) . . . I fully expect to be denied conditional clearance since I've spent time in Russia and other countries that might be worrisome to investigators.

Just curious but say you pass the academy and get your facility assignment, how do people find housing so quickly if we're only given a few days to report to our facility after the academy? Seems like it would be almost impossible to find a house or apartment in a new state in such a short amount of time.

It is tight for sure, but doable. Some people do an extended stay hotel for a couple weeks while looking around. You could also reach out to the NATCA FacRep and see if anyone has a room they rent out or anything of that nature, depending on whether you have a family, etc.

Thanks, I figured that was the case. I'll probably be finding a hotel for a few weeks then when the time comes assuming I make it that far in the process.

Airbnb is a viable option these days as well. Most people at Potomac TRACON did extended stay and got a storage unit for the first month before finding a place and canvassing the area for a place to live.

You also get 8 days of “Change of Station” leave you can use, unless that has changed. When I started I used it all prior to reporting to my facility, though it can be used anytime within two years of your official start date at the new spot.

It's still a thing and I highly recommend to use at least some of those days before you report.

What exactly does that mean? I've visited Russia twice myself.

Not that complicated. They might want to ask a few questions about the purpose of your visit and what ties you have to foreign countries. Thus you may not get the easy conditional clearance and be required to take additional steps.

They ask about every single time you have ever left the country. They ask where you stayed, who you stayed with, who you talked to, etc.

Even when younger than 18?

 

[Yukatan]

I work for a big bank here and they did the same for me. I was actually a bit surprised as I've never had previous employers dig pretty deep like they did. This will likely be more thorough.

 

[Counterclockwise]

I believe so. Also, if you have any relatives in foreign countries you’ve talked to in the past years be prepared to provide contact info.

Hey, so I received my EODS. Just FYI
