If you’ve ever flown on a plane, you’ve seen them! if it’s been in the last 14 years they’ve likely asked you to remove your shoes, belts, or separate your liquids into a plastic bag. The Transportation Security Administration, colloquially known as TSA, is a major part of travel in the United States and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has turned to St. Petersburg College in hopes to find students eager to become the newest Security Officers at Tampa International Airport (TPA).
They will be on SPC’s Allstate Campus, located at 3200 34th St. S., St. Petersburg, FL. 33711, on Wednesday, November 4th presenting on the requirements and benefits of working with TSA and interviewing to fill positions at TPA as soon as possible. Doors open at 3:30pm in the Florida Room and the presentation will begin promptly at 4pm.
Part-time positions begin at $14.95 per hour and include medical benefits! There is no previous experience required, and training for the position will be paid. TSA lists its’ minimum requirement for this role as U.S. Citizenship (or U.S. National), a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent, English proficiency, and passing of background, credit, and drug screening.
Anyone who has recently searched for a part time position knows that finding one offering medical benefits is extremely rare. Not only can this position provide you with benefits and a high rate of pay, but also experience. If you are interested in working for the government at any time in your career, in any role, it can be very difficult to enter into that network, having former federal government experience can make your resume really stand out against the rest. Even if you’re not interested working with the government again, having this experience shows future employers that you are reliable, trustworthy, and possess leadership skills. In a time when employers are receiving upwards of 200 applicants per job posting, having the benefit of speaking to the hiring manager can be invaluable.
To help you prepare to speak to the employer, ready your resume, and research the organization, contact the Career Service professional on your campus.
