Exactly that's what I'm saying. Don't believe enough that you see. And how can anyone lose a job they don't even have yet.
Phone Call from the FAA

Again, to which user are you even referring? I have no clue who you're talking about who said he has 2 associate degrees.
If you met the experience or school requirements, as this person does -- whoever it is, you "qualify" under the job requirements. However, if you don't pass the BQ, then you are automatically disqualified. That's it.
Yeah but the BQ was obviously weighted more heavily. And it worked IMO because here you are getting all worked up about it, shows how easily stressed you are.
Non of this makes sense. I'm a vet with ratings and over 4 years experience with an associates degree. I was disqualified. five other vets i know of, with CTOs, were disqualified. I didn't attach transcripts, but I did attach my airmen certs and CTO. That should be more than enough. I guess not. The thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was that generic DQ reply. I think they have a lot of nerve to say that they "predict" that i wont be successful as an Air Traffic Controller within the FAA. Really?? Military ATC has to be far more complicated than the FAA. Less than half of my mixed fixed wing, faster movers, and Helo VFR/IFR traffic was on a straight, just saying. I wish they would asked me about my .65 knowledge, but I guess that's to logical.
This is not what the "not eligible" means at all. Based on the studies/documentation regarding the BQ, those 10% selected to move on to ATSAT have a greater probability of being successful at CPC certification than the 90% not selected. This is much different than saying you are not qualified to be or become a CPC.
I don't think you've actually seen this DQ response. it says nothing about 10% blah blah. "The biographical assessment measures ATCS applicant characteristics that have shown empirically to predict success as an air traffic controller in the FAA. "
Yes, still received. Just called HR. They are so clueless lol. All they said is that green check means you passed and you will be contacted soon to take the AT SAT. Grrrrrrr.....
She said they have not a clue when that will be.
She said they have not a clue when that will be.
Ok. I was scrolling through some other threads and saw that some people had it changed to reviewed.
Ive seen that too, but don't think it was ever verified. Ie pic or something. I know I've called (multiple times) and they looked me up by name and verified I passed. Still have the received so who knows.
Titanman, although I respect your opinion, I do believe that you are putting those of us lucky enough to make it through down. Maybe, just maybe we passed for a reason and maybe it has been reviewed. Just because your multiple (unproven) sources tell you they haven't, then we can't take anything you say seriously.
FYI, I read that as saying that transcripts were only needed if you were using your education as your eligibility - if you were using work experience or one of the alternate MQs, you didn't need to submit transcripts with the original application. I knew they would end up asking for them, though, and thought they could conceivably be assigning points based on how MANY of the sections you qualify under, so I went ahead and treated each eligibility option as though I were using it to qualify.
I imagine a lot of the phone calls are to get documentation on 'backup' MQs. I also think they're probably going to try very, very hard to work with any candidates who are obviously strong choices - prior experience, CTI, aviation background - and make sure they get points for everything they possibly can. Of course, to do that, they have to do it for everyone...
I have a green check mark, but never have gotten a phone call. However, I did upload all of my official transcripts, and made sure I had hours on my resume for my full time jobs. So I guess my application was complete.
