Applications will be accepted online until 11:59PM Eastern Standard/Daylight Time on the closing date of the job opportunity announcement (JOA). However, if a sufficient number of applications are received, the announcement may be closed before the published application deadline. Therefore, applicants are strongly encouraged to promptly apply online and in advance of the announcement closing date.
Application Steps: To submit your application online:
- Step #1: Click the "Apply Online" button from the USAJOBS application page
- Step #2: Enter information into the resume fields and follow the process outlined in USAJOBS for creating and submitting your USAJOBS resume
- Step #3: Submit any required supporting documentation. Please ensure you have included the Required Documents listed below, if applicable.
If you do not have access to a computer and you are unable to apply on-line, please contact the TSA-HRAccess Help Desk at 1-877-872-7990 or TTY 1-877-872-7992. The Help Desk hours are: Eastern Standard/Daylight Time 7:00AM - 10:00PM Monday - Friday, 11:00AM - 3:00PM on Saturday, and 12:00PM - 4:00PM on Sunday. An "Employment Packet" will be sent to you via mail which must be completed and returned no later than 11:59PM Eastern Standard/ Daylight Time on the closing date of the JOA. An email address unique to you is required to apply even if you are submitting a paper application. And, if you have access to email but still cannot apply on-line, you may contact the TSA-HRAccess Help Desk by email at: Helpdesk@mailserver-hraccess.tsa.dhs.gov, to request that the "Employment Packet" be sent to you.
Please note: If you have previously applied to a TSO JOA, you must utilize your existing USAJOBS account when applying to other TSO vacancies. If you need assistance accessing your existing USAJOBS account, please contact USAJOBS via the Contact Us link. Upon each submission of an application for a TSO vacancy, you must update your profile and demographic information, answer each application question, re-submit any applicable documentation, and select Finish at the end of the application. Otherwise, the application will be considered incomplete and will not be processed. Applicants must each use their own, individual email address when applying to a TSO job opportunity announcement. Email addresses are used as unique identifiers in the www.usajobs.gov system, so if you apply using the same email address as another TSA applicant, then all of the applications for each candidate who shares that account will be adversely impacted.
This JOA is being used to fill positions at this airport location only. If you are interested in a different airport location, you will need to apply to a JOA for that specific location when advertised.
Due to the extensive pre-employment screening process, we are actively recruiting to fill current and future Transportation Security Officers within TSA. If you are interested in a career with TSA as a Transportation Security Officer, we encourage you to apply to this announcement. TSA encourages women, minorities and veterans to apply for an exciting career as a Transportation Security Officer with TSA.
After applying, you will be notified of your status by e-mail. You will also receive instruction on how to monitor your application status on-line via the TSA Candidate Dashboard. Because some systems may re-direct TSA emails away from your Inbox, please be sure to also check your junk and spam email folders on a regular basis for emails that may contain important information regarding your application status and specific instructions about the hiring process.
In order to help prevent these important messages from being automatically removed from your inbox, you may also want to consider adding the following two e-mail addresses to your contact list: 1) correspondence@mailserver-hraccess.tsa.dhs.gov, and 2) HelpDesk@mailserver-hraccess.tsa.dhs.gov.
To render a final decision regarding your qualification for selection, several assessments are required, each of which may vary in length of time to schedule and successfully complete, and several of which may be dependent on you for submitting information as requested.
