      Entry Level Example

      "I attended two years of college when the covid-19 pandemic hit. The school closed and didn't refund my tuition, and I petitioned and was awarded an associate's degree. I was pursuing a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. I understand that this position requires a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent certificate."

      Experienced Example

      "I have completed three criminal justice-related courses via online correspondence this year. These courses include Ethics and Critical Thought, Public Safety, and Introduction to the Criminal Justice System. I excelled in these classes, with an average grade of 97%. Over the next four years, I plan to earn my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. This goal, of course, would be in tandem with working full-time. I am eager to use my knowledge to help the TSA protect the traveling public, and I look forward to learning more as I train and grow with your administration."

      "While I don't have any formal education in the security field I am very safety-conscious. I have to be aware and on my toes during my horseback riding lessons. I am also a very intuitive person. For example, during a recent safety training session at my current job, I noticed an error and brought it to the attention of the head of security. He said he was impressed that I was the only one who noticed the potential issue. I look forward to my training with the TSA and learning the operation."

      Good. If you don't have the qualifications the question is specifically asking about, talking about training and practical experience is a good place to start.
