    New subscriber just off of how informative, and too the point this video is. I’m current at 440lbs, with osteoarthritis in my knees. My right knee is in pain daily, so after watching this, it’s clear this job may be to much for me in my current state(as I’m working to lose weight.) thank you so much for making this video.

      You can get a waiver/exemption for it. Though you can be denied. All federal jobs are highly competitive, so they can easily choose someone without any medical problems, unless your medical problem is due to a disability caused by the US military.

    What is the background check? Is the written one and do you do fingerprinting?

    • @taeabaea
      @taeabaea Před dnem

      background check just checks if you have any misdemeanors or felonies. if you’re a felon you will fail the background check. misdemeanors are okay. It depends on the charge though. and yes, you do finger printing.

      I don't recall seeing any age limit listed when I compiled the information for the video. If there is an age limit, then it will be mentioned in the job posting on usajobs.gov
      I saw TSOs that looked to be in their 50s at least.
