Good to see you back brotha

glad youre back
Lol thanks its hard getting videos made and edited after a 12 hour day for 3 months in a row
Awesome job!
Thanks for all the info!
Happy to help
Thank you, this was very helpful!
Happy to help
about time.
Yea I know lol
Thank you for your page. It is very informative. Could you do a video explaining the difference between pay grade & pay steps?
Yes, I’ll add it to my list.
@@theTSAguythanks!
HI, great video. Do the years of federal service (per your retirement calculations) take into account military service? Thanks
Only if you buy back you time.
@Fazle Hasnain Could you do a video on the differences between competitive service & excepted service? I would definitely appreciate that, thanks.
Yes I can make one, just give me some time since I’m juggling work and travel
Nice video. I have an interview coming up and they advertised the pay rate. Do you automatically by default start at the lowest rate advertised? Or can you negotiate your rate based on the scale provided? Let’s say for example, that the pay grade starts at 45,000 and can go up to 67,000. Do they start you at 45 or is it based on experience? Are you able to ask for the starting salary to be more? And last question I read that there are benefits for continuing education for employees, but what about dependents? Our children offered any type of assistance with college? Thank you.
You can negotiate salary before you accept the final job offer. Whatever GS pay grade you're hired at you can ask for a higher step. For example if you are hired at GS-12 Step 1, you can ask for GS-12 step 3 or higher. However you will need to show that you have experience that qualifies you at the higher step or GS level. You can ask for a higher GS level but you can't go higher than the advertised promotion potential. If job you applied for a GS-5/7/9, job then the highest pay you can ask for a is a GS-9. The pay grades are filled based on your skill level demonstrated on your resume and HR also has quotas they need to fill. So if only 10 spots are open at the GS-9 level and all 10 are filled, then they don't have to honor your request for a higher starting salary.
I asked for higher pay after 3 months of working and my agency honored it, so you can always make you case and see what happens.
@@theTSAguy Amazing. Thank you.
🙏
I have a serious question man, I have congenital Iris coloboma in one of my eyes and I know for a fact that I cannot correct it’s vision in any way ( no eyes glasses or surgery ) but my other ( healthy ) eye is 20/20, could I still get a job for the TSA or perhaps a different government job? It’s hard for me to find a career because of my annoying eye condition and absolutely nothing can correct it.
I don’t think this should be a problem. I worked with a guy who wore an eye patch and was able to do the work without any issues. You may get disqualified at the medical exam with an option to appeal. Just have your doctor complete the paperwork and you should be good to go.
If you haven’t subscribed go ahead and do so, I’ll have more videos coming.
I have a CBT test on next week. How much time is between the CBT test date and the health appt/drug screening?
Once you pass the CBT, the rest of the process will start within a few days to about 2 weeks. Depending on how fast you airport is hiring.
Hi, i love your page it has helped me through the whole hiring process. Im currently waiting for background, I just passed medical. I was wondering if after you have a interview with an inspector and you get an interim security clearance do you go to georgia for the two weeks after you get fully cleared
You can go to FLETC with an interim clearance.
@@theTSAguy wow thank you for responding :) Im just waiting now phoenix airport does have a lot of job openings so hopefully im not waiting to long. I was however wondering if you by chance know how long after you got your last job offer did you go to georgia. If you dont mind answering
About 2 weeks later I got a final offer and then 2 weeks later I was in orientation
Hi I’m sorry but I’m scared to ask people. My EOD is may 8th and is 2 weeks. I’m wondering after that training is done how far out till I get my schedule to work at airport for OJT? Like how long did you wait. If you don’t mind me asking
My entire training was at the airport so I got my schedule 1 week before, so you’ll know well in advance.
Hello! When are breaks /lunch during all 3 shifts? 3am-1130am, 11am-730pm, 2pm-1030pm?
Lunch is after 4 hours, you get 2 breaks - 1 every 2 hours. Lunch and breaks don’t always happen “on time”. They are usually scheduled around the flight schedules.
I have a question, so I applied for a TSO position at several locations, and received an email saying I meet the minimum requirements to continue to the CBT for each application. One in particular is close to home, but I don’t want to go through this process for each application. What should I do?
Just call and have your application transferred
Hello, your videos are on point, I'm waiting for my background check and medical appointment..
I got hired on as a gs5 with my bachelors degree. Do bachelor degrees or any education outside high school help you move up the Gs scale faster?
If your job posting says that you can get a higher pay grade based on education then you can go to your management and ask for an upgrade. They will run it by HR and HQ and see if they can get you approved.
Fazael. Man i enjoyed your videos . Can you please talk more about the TSA and their benefits also.i am in process . Need help on the e86 form. Can you talk more about that form . Thank you
I’ll make a separate video on the sf86, till then just send me and email and I’ll answer your questions.
The benefits I talked about in this video, these are the same benefits TSA offers.
@@theTSAguy thank you .i really need help on the e86 .especially my age now is 39 . So going back 10 years . Need help in all the info they need there
Email me at 91ambitions@gmail.com
Holiday pay adds up quickly
Hey faze. I’ve been watching your videos for my tsa process and it help me a lot. Thanks for that. Now im trying to fill the e-86 form. But is asking me for a registration code can you tell me how to get this code. I saw is a 14 digits and I’ve been sending tsa emails but there not responding and i have 21 days to complete this form. Please help if u know something. And thanks again pal. Great job with the videos
Look in your spam box, it sometimes get sent there.
I try that. Is there a number i can call for this issue
The number should be in your candidate dashboard. Have you already done your airport assessment? If you request access to the Facebook, you can ask the community there bc they have already been through this.
Just passed my TSA interview, next is medical + background. Any word on how long I could be waiting in the hiring pool? This is for North Carolina by the way.
No set time. Just depends on how fast your individual airport is hiring.
You are so funny! 🤣
Lol happy you enjoyed it
Hey so I did my AA yesterday and did my os 306 last night and got a email saying to update it today but when I logged in on it it says it was complete also I scheduled my medical for 4 future days but haven’t heard back either should I worry and contact them or wait it the days are next Monday thru Thursday I have my medical bag
It's a common email a lot of people have been getting. If it's correct then it's fine. You can send an email to double check what's going on.
Okay I will and what about the medical I got my bag yesterday and they told me to select dates in the EAS website from the candidate portal which I did I hope I hear back because my dates I selected are all next week
Give them a chance to reply, I say wait til Monday COB, if you don't hear back go ahead and contact them.
What’s up, man? So say I retire after 20+ years and am not 62, will I still get full pension?
If you’re law enforcement, yes. If not then you forfeit a percentage for each year under age 62. I think it was 1.5% or 2% for each year under age 62.
Please make more videos
Sorry I have more coming. Just been busy with work. I should have one up by Wednesday
@@theTSAguy 🔥🔥
Deep dive, I worked several temporary full-time back in 1990 through '93, if I get on permanent full-time now will I have any retro grandfather benefits?
The short answer is no, you will not get grandfathered benefits because you were never a permanent employee.
See the OPM Congressional testimony transcript. www.opm.gov/news/testimony/111th-congress/temporary-employee-practices-how-long-does-temporary-last/
Also if you are not in service for 4 consecutive days or longer you incur what is called a "break in service". When you get rehired after a break in service you are subject to the new Federal benefit policies....unless your break in service is converted to a transfer but this must be done with in a certain frame. I was in this situation and my conversion was done within 90 days.
@@theTSAguy aight, Don't know if it matters, I was Air national guard working 180 day temporary, there would be 6 months a year later I would come back as another temporary I was promoted from a 05 to a 08 and then 10. I mean I was out for many months and when I came back I was automatically promoted. This is why I asked because I didn't even expect that then. So my last service I was at WG-10.
@@JSFGuy Yes, that does change things. If you search "Arman Curet" in the youtube search bar, he would have your answer. He's a retired E-7 and he would know more since he had to jump through these hoops.
@@theTSAguy 🙋... Interesting, the plot thickens. Thanks a lot for the info.
@@theTSAguy Well, so far search has yielded nothing except unrelated things.
Hey I have a vacation trip coming up and tsa just called for an interview, is it possible they will let me go on that trip ?
It’s a virtual interview so you can do it on your trip or you can ask for a reschedule. If you reschedule there’s no estimate on how long that would take.
@@theTSAguy well my interview is feb 2nd it is virtual but the trip is on memorial weekend
@@brianp6169 you can ask for a reschedule or you hotspot your laptop from your phone or a starbucks. TSA wouldn't have a problem with you rescheduling but like i said, no guarantees on how fast they can get you in again. I say just bite the bullet and do it on your vacation if you can.
@@theTSAguy ok what about if they call me for the training now ?
You will always get ample notice before your training starts. That won’t happen until you’re fully hired.
Hey so I talked to you before I failed my medical last week and then this week I appealed and I got a email at 3:57 pm today saying I passed my appeal for my medical so I logged in my appeal and it’s went pass the medical and now says I didn’t pass the background but I don’t see why and how they just sent the email a hour ago and already not qualified for my background
I think I sent a message to you about this in the Facebook group. It's a glitch in the system. Just call them and let them know.
Oh sorry what number do I call I only have e medical number
@@theTSAguy is it the same number we called for medical
@@codywilkins9951 there should be a customer service number for applicants to call. You should see it on your dashboard or you can ask the people in the group. I don't have this number.
@@codywilkins9951 if you call medical, they did be able to give you the right number to call. I'm sure they get that question a lot.
Hey @TheTSAGuy make a video on tuition reimbursement and how do vegans/vegetarians make out at flectc, please n thank you.
Will do
Thank you!
Can you tell me What the SPECIAL BASIC PAY SUPPLEMENT
I don’t understand your question. Are you asking why there is premium on top of your base pay?
So does all these benefits apply for TSA TSO OFFICER as well so let's say a person works 5 years and 1 month do they get retirement benefits
Yes, these are benefits for all federal employees. Retirement benefits only kick in after a certain time frame.
You get vested into your TSP after 3 years. Meaning you can keep all the money the fed matched regarding your contributions. You’ll be eligible for retirement benefits after 20 years, at the earliest. If you leave after 5 years and 1 month you get to keep your TSP and cash out your annual leave, you don’t get anything else.
The benefits vary based on your job, for example law enforcement jobs get different retirement benefits and their retirement time requirements are very different from non law enforcement jobs.
Each agency also offers different perks based on the type of people they are looking to attract. Some offer tuition reimbursement while others offer signing bonuses.
@@theTSAguy ok one more question on your final job offer letter from tsa did they have your hourly rate or did it say annual salary
I think mine has my salary written on it
@@theTSAguy so it say only $13,000 because it was part time and is it really "part time" they told me 20 hours a week
I got 25 hours when I worked at ATL, but it just depends on the airport needs. You can always work extra hours when they are available. Is TSA your only job so you have a second one?
I've applied for sup position, let's see how it develops
Good luck!
I just got a email for my job offer + orientation day. Took about a year for a response
That’s about the average time right now. Congrats and good luck!
@@theTSAguy any advice my guy for orientation
@samuelalvarez6051 it’s straight forward. After you show up HR will do the rest. When you get to FLETC that’s when you’ll need to read the SOPs and policies since you’ll be tested on it.
Hey man I got a email today after the medical pass glitch from a women saying to update my sf 86 so I did hopefully I hear back soon and my portal updates and get put in the ready pool I just hope they check my sf 86 update fast
Should be resolved within a few days. They just make the correction on their end and then wait for the system to refresh
@@theTSAguy do you know how long the background portion takes ?
After you send it corrections
You'll get hired and start working before that clears. You'll need to have an interview with an investigator first. Then about 90 days after that you'll know if your SF-86 clears. If you're not a felon, terrorist, didn't lie about anything and you don't have any skeletons in your closet then you have nothing to worry about.
@@theTSAguy Awesome so yeah in my portal it still says my background is failed but I talk to my recruiter and she said by next week that should’ve automatically fix itself because I did get that email today saying to make the corrections but so you’re saying that before I passed my background check I’ll get a job offer or the sf 86 itself cause it’s the sf86 the background check
When you posting your video to your Facebook page ? We’re waiting for a minute.
I have videos recorded, just need to edit. Work travel plus 3 family medicinal emergencies…I’ve been tied up
@@theTSAguy how long you worked for TSA before you transition to USCIS?
22 months, 3 weeks, 6 days
I want to become Secret Service Agent and since these agents work for the federal government, they will be receiving federal employment benefits
Yes they do. They also have additional benefits since they are law enforcement.
1.1 times 20 years if your lucky enough to make 50 k high pay that’s a whopping 10k a year ......lol
At TSA it’ll be hard to hit above 60K, at other agencies the average person is about GS-12 anyways which is about 90k. You have your TSP to help you as well, but you definitely should not rely on govt retirement benefits alone. You should be building additional investments on your own.
The retirement is awful is not a livable pension income no tsa officer makes a
100k and even so it would come out to 24 k a year that’s garbage
Yes that is true, but the video is not catered to just people looking to work at just TSA.
