I applied in-person. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at FAA (Binghamton, NY)
Interview
The interview process includes a psychiatric questionnaire, a drug test and a background check. All of this takes an inordinate amount of time. The interview itself is conducted by the local air traffic manager and isn't extremely important to the hiring process. It does help you get a feel for the job and the expectations if you are hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The actual interview isn't difficult nor is it really as important as passing the AT-SAT exam and making the hiring list. It's more of a formality.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at FAA in Jan 2020
Interview
The interview process and background check took 6 months and then another 6 months before any final decision was made and list of facilities was given out... I hope the process has improved since,
I applied online. The process took 10 months. I interviewed at FAA (Cleveland, OH) in Oct 2016
Interview
There is no interview process. After applying online, you are sent to take an exam at a private 3rd party testing center. After the test, it may take anywhere from 3 to 10 months to hear results and acceptance.
I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at FAA
Interview
No interview really. You just apply if you meet the requirements. They will send you an email in a few months. Then you have to take the ATSAT test. If you pass that and the Questionnaire they will send you a TOL to be followed by an FOL.
