5/23- Geo Pref closes. What ever your last pref. submision was is the one that is taken. Apparently they have a record of each time you might have changed your preference, but only the last one is selected.
6/6- Found out she made the referal list. Shows up in ASAP under the submitted tab.
6/9- Selection Panel begins meeting in OKC. Each state has a rep that goes to OKC and selects applicants for each facility in their state. Suggestion: if you are looking at a particular facility, it can never hurt to go visit that facility and meet the manager, see how they operate, and sell your desire to work there. If it's not possible to visit, give them a call and let them know your interested in working there.
6/25- Received email invitation to PEPC:
Thank you for responding to our inquiry regarding your consideration for an air traffic control specialist position with the FAA.
Based on your response, we have reserved a place for you to attend the ATCS Pre-Employment Processing Center (PEPC) which will be held in New York City, NY July 9 or 10 2008. The PEPC will include your interview and, if you are tentatively selected, you will receive a Tentative Offer Letter providing specific information on your facility assignment, salary, etc. In addition, a security screening, medical evaluation, psychological evaluation, and drug testing will be completed.
All of these activities will take place during one day - Monday or Tuesday for EnRoute selections and Wednesday or Thursday for Terminal selections. Your start time will be provided in your confirmation email. Please be prepared for an all-day event. You will need to make advanced arrangements should you require overnight lodging. All travel costs incurred will be at your expense.
This is what you need to do:
? Respond to this email to xxxxxxxxxxx@faa.gov.
? Identify the day you will be able to attend ? either July 9 or 10 2008
? Respond by (06-30-08).
I am copying our Air Traffic Organization PEPC coordinator, Terri Owens, on this email so she will have all of your contact information and be prepared to receive your response. Once you have confirmed that you will attend, she will send you all of the detailed information about the PEPC program and enrollment, including forms that must be completed prior to your arrival.
7/10- Attended PEPC. She showed up for the PEPC at 11am and gave her SF-85(terminal) at check in. Had her interview with one of the facility mangers. When she finished that she was given her TOL and moved on to the next open station. There is no set order for the day because they move you where spots need to be filled with bodies. The rest of the events were MMPI(psych eval: 370 T/F questions), security clearance paper work filled in on a computer, finger printing, hearing test, vision, EKG/Blood pressure, drug test and basic physical(height/weight/reflexes). Finally she met with HR again and was given a tenative academy start date of 9/8. Some got tenative dates others did not. This was in part due to the end of the FY happening at the end of Sept.
Presently she is still waiting for the FOL so her tenative date could still hold or she might be set back to Oct. so thats getting kind of crazy as 9/8 is soon approaching. Her HR Rep has been busy with the other two PEPC's in Memphis and Chicago so her FOL has been delayad as a result.
