Selection panel question

minsep · Posted: 12-20-2009, 02:51 AM

Hey what fellas,

Say can anyone give me some info, very new to the site:

I exited the Navy 01NOV09, applied for the VRA announcement in SEP09 via ASAP site and didn't get picked up. I do have a TRACON rating along with a current CTO. When will the next section board be? How would I get referred? Is there a site where someone could review my resume for errors, or maybe beef it up. I NEED A JOB, before I decide to trade the FAA for a one bunk Hilton over in the Afghanistan.

Panels are typically scheduled on a quarterly basis. If they follow the regular schedule, the next one should be in January. There's a rumor that it may be canceled... but I don't listen to rumors here much, as they're usually wrong. In any case, VRAs are pretty much the most desirable group to draw from (aside from REINST and DoD, I suppose), so you're in a good place to be.

Your resume doesn't really matter much as far as applying to the FAA, but if you'd like me to look at it for other stuff, PM me and I'll give you my email address. I edit my friend's resumes all the time.

Dude, have you ever had an ATC job? Please say yes.
