TSA seems pretty hard up to keep their screening stations staffed. There are newspaper ads, job fairs going on...pretty serious hiring push it seems
I'm wondering, are these PT screener jobs total dead end positions? could you maybe move to full time or supervisor roles if you did a good job and hung around for a while? I'm interested in TSA and homeland security jobs and seeing how so many other federal positions seem to take forever to hear back on/get hired I was thinking of doing a screener job in the meantime. what do you think?

A part-time employee is not eligible for advancement, such as promotion to lead or supervisor, however you can ask to become a full-time employee and as far as i'm aware you'd have first dibs when a full-time position becomes available. It is not a dead end job, it's a new agency with lots of room for advancement. Your hours/schedule would depend on the airport you were applying to work for. I know at our airport the part-time positions have the most flexible work with you schedules I've ever seen and anyone who wants full time gets it.

That is a tough one, but you need to get yourself through this, because otherwise, you may never want to look for another job, or approach every future opportunity with despair. I believe that such feelings get picked up, and jeopardize further chances. Try to find a job with similar perks and guidelines, and make sure that you don't come through whiney when interviewing for other positions. It was one moment in your life. How long do you expect to punish you for an error in judgment that you think you may have made? You live and learn, and since you cannot turn back the clock, it is time to make peace with that. Right now, you seem to be your worst enemy!

It's not a bad idea because 1: you get federal benefits (including health benefits) for part-time and 2. once you are in the federal system it's easier to get hired for another federal job once you've already got one as opposed to trying to get in from the outside. I'd do it with the thought that it was only temporary until I could move to another agency.

According to one person I know (cause I thought the same thing) It's extremely stressful. They work you 32 hours, that's it cause it's "part time" and no room for advancement. Basically a dead end he did it for a few years and he had had enough and went back to being a Prison Guard..tell ya anything?
