LinkedIn shows that as of May 16, 2015 I would be in the top 10% of the current applicants for these positions. I am very interested in a position with the FAA. I am transitioning out of the United States Navy after 14 years of active duty service as an Aviation Electronics Technician and a Quality Control Inspector.<br /><br />Would someone mind providing me with some feedback on ways I may increase my chances of moving forward. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Richard Barnett Mon, 25 May 2015 21:43:16 -0400 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-am-looking-to-become-a-part-of-the-faa-is-there-anyone-on-the-inside-that-would-be-willing-to-help-me-get-my-foot-in-the-door <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I recently applied for Job Announcement FAA-AMH-15-ACV-38358 Aviation Safety Inspector - Air Carrier Avionics and Job Announcement # FAA-AMH-15-GAV-38357 Aviation Safety Inspector - General Aviation Avionics positions located in south Florida.

USAJOBS shows both are Received... However, when i click the "More information" link the FAA application page shows a box that says <br /> Referral List Status<br />• Referrals are based on submitted questionnaire at time of referral.<br /><br />Can anyone tell me what this means? Have I been "referred"? Is so, why hasn't USAJOBS updated the status? PO2 Richard Barnett Tue, 26 May 2015 14:07:48 -0400 2015-05-26T14:07:48-04:00 2015-05-25T21:43:16-04:00
