"I recently earned a degree in Criminal Justice. By earning this degree, I built a strong foundation in criminology, evidence, and procedures, as well as law and the judicial process. This knowledge will be valuable to my contribution to the TSA as I come with a robust understanding of the regulations and best practices related to public protection. I have also set myself up for success both emotionally and with mental acuity. I participate in guided meditations, I read books on leadership, and even take the time to train my memory through Luminocity brain games."

      Experienced Example

      "I have read and memorized the Employee Code of Conduct Handbook. I have thoroughly read through the history of TSA. I have spoken with three TSOs, asking them about the expectations of this role in detail. I have upped my exercise regimen, watched all the videos, and read the stories and testimonials of your employees. I am open to any recommendations you have to further prepare for the role. I am dedicated, no stranger to hard work, and would put in maximum effort to be as prepared as possible should the opportunity present itself. When starting a new job, I do my best to get as much of a running start on my onboarding and training as possible. Every step I can take to propel my career, you can count on me taking it."

      Mary's Feedback

      Despite not having been in the role, think about the skills that are easily transferable. See responses below. [Example only- refer to job description]
      "Being a TSA screener would be a new role for me, but I believe I can adapt quickly because of my experience in [i.e. operating various screening equipment], [i.e. following state/federal compliance measures for the safety of others], and [i.e. familiarity with controlling entry and exit points]."
