TSA recruiting at SPC for Tampa airport security openings

Public Safety - All

Interested in going into policing, security, corrections or government work? St. Petersburg College’s career services can help you get your foot in the door with a great agency. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security wants to hire SPC students to work for the Transportation Security Administration as security officers at the Tampa International Airport .

TSA representatives will be on SPC’s Allstate Center, 3200 34th St. S., St. Petersburg, on Wednesday, Nov. 4. They will present information about the requirements and benefits of working with the TSA and interview to fill positions at the airport as soon as possible. Doors for the presentation open at 3:30 p.m. in the campus’ Florida Room. The presentation begins promptly at 4 p.m.

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.

The TSA lists its minimum requirements  for this role as:

  • U.S. Citizenship (or U.S. National)
  • a high school diploma, GED or equivalent
  • English proficiency
  • passing background, credit and drug screening

Anyone who has looked recently 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 stand out.

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 receive more than 200 applicants per job posting, having the benefit of speaking to the hiring manager can be invaluable.
