Let's play the "Get hired as an Air Traffic Controller" game. 90% of you will fail. Are you ready?
The first question is an easy one if you've been paying attention:
That's right! The answer is "science". well done, everyone.
Next two questions are "lowest college grade" and where you heard about this opportunity:
Did you say "history" and "a public notice or media advertisement"? Full points! I hope you didn't say you were referred by a friend; that'll set you back. Next up: Sports and grades. Think carefully—you only get one shot.
4 or more sports, I hope, and let's hope you at least got D's over C's. What about weekly paid employment in college and jobs applied for over the past three years?
Acceptable answers include: "Fewer than 10 hours" and "Didn't go to college" for the first; "1 to 2" and "5 to 6" for the second. Next, we'll look at your employment history and your group behavior.
Good work: the answer, as you all guessed, was "1 to 2" or "5 to 6" months of unemployment in the last three years, and reluctance to express well-received views for group behavior. Now, how do you take criticism, and how much job-related formal training do you have?
Most answers are fine for criticism, but sorry if you answered "Somewhat more than most" or "somewhat less than most." That indecisiveness will cost you! And you've gotta hit that sweet spot for training: 6 months to 2 years, and not a day more or less.
That should be enough for a start. Only 69 more questions to go. You've got this!
To take the full questionnaire yourself, examine exhibits 139-25 and 139-26 here, and perhaps you too can be an ATC one day. drive.google.com/drive/folders/…
