Hiring Bid Air Traffic Control Specialist - Trainee: FAA-ATO-17-ALLSRCE-53474

[JNev]

I've worked 30-40 hours a week for the past 7 years. Do I still need my school (community college) transcripts or do I qualify solely based on work experience?

I was never asked for transcripts, so I don't think it's a requirement for everyone

 

[OUA1]

What kind of information?

I believe MJ has a post called “Security Clearance Information” or something like that, if you search the forum for *Security Clearance” or similar terms you should find it.

This is from my EODS email, not sure if everyone's says the same thing.
"If you do not receive the system-generated emails in your inbox, check your spam and junk folders. If you do not find them, reply to this email, call me at the phone listed in my signature block below OR call Aviation Careers and request the emails be resent."

No hold off on contacting them, thats probably the last thing they need/want. Just give it some time - it's tough I know

Hey so good news to those of you that screw up your Eqip and regret not putting things in/forget to add stuff. I had sent mine in last week. Got an email stating that they wanted me to correct some errors and resubmit.

Interesting, like what kind of "errors"

Logged into EODS this morning to check on the status of my submitted forms and I keep getting this message:

"Unknown Error.
Please contact your Human Resource Representative or Please contact IBC Customer Service at 1-888-367-1622."

It's surely nothing, but is anyone else seeing this error?

They said I needed to fix a couple addresses, and the needed to know city of a foreign national I knew and I needed to fix types of work experience.

“have reviewed your SF-86 questionnaire and it has been rejected back to you for the following corrections:”

Contact Aviation Careers. They will re-issue you a new login. I called and they had emailed me new information within the hour.

Their email to me: "I just sent you two new emails. Please try it again. They did an update to the system and we think we have it fixed now."

I know MJ was quick to reassure you after last scare, but it bears repeating. The FAA is not trying to trick you guys at this point and say "Gotcha, you're out". The application process does a lot to weed people out, but from the moment you guys receive a TOL it's a complete 180. HR will do everything in their power to help you through the process, including correcting mistakes, sending out additional emails and phone calls if you miss a deadline or don't respond to an initial email, and (if it comes down to it) offering you separate OKC dates (within reason) that fit your schedule.

You joke, but there's a lot of truth to this. This past bid was relatively quiet. I can't tell you how many articles I've seen in the past from Forbes, CNN, Huffington Post, etc. claiming SIX FIGURES - NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED - APPLY TODAY which sent droves to usajobs.gov. Unless you count a tweet from NATCA, this past panel largely came and went without any real advertisement.

I'm curious, are there any OTS candidates here who applied for the first time in 2017 without hearing about the job from word of mouth, stuckmic, here, or reddit? If so, how did you hear about it?

First time applying for OTS, but I had been checking for the bid to come up. I also joined Army reserves for ATC that's how I learned about the career then waited for FAA opportunity

So if we 're getting this error we need a new login? It won't just be fixed once their system is updated?

The system is already updated. So if you're still getting the error, yes, I would assume you need a new login.

Figured I should post this, Monday was my three weeks since CIL, emailed medical, they told me to expect something within the next two weeks, so medical is very far behind

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why is is so difficult for them to schedule a simple physical?

I dont think its a matter of difficulty but just the amount of people. I cant get ahold of my MMPI reference.
