Usually it's at least three years. There are agents with a lot more experience that get dibs first anyways.

Looks like I'll be applying based on education alone.
And Tampa is listed. I live in Clearwater, FL. If anyone lives around and me and wants to study for the test or whatever, then PM me.

if they're only looking for 25 why don't they just put out a lateral announcement instead? Not to bag on the external applicants or anything but given the tight time constraints from app to possible EOD date, wouldn't it make more sense to open it up to current 1811s?

Because, that is a poor idea. The time constraints should not be considered tight, but rather what should be expected and is hopefully a sign that the government recognizes that the previous hiring format is not acceptable. Lateraling just fills one hole and leaves another empty.

All special agent applicants must take and pass the ATF Special Agent Exam and an applicant assessment test. ATF is no longer using the Treasury Enforcement Agent (TEA) Exam. Results from an ATF sponsored exam are valid for three years from the date of the exam. Sample questions for the ATF Special Agent Exam can be found at the “Careers†section of this website.

Just looked at the sample test questions... The actual test questions have to be considerably harder, right? We couldn't be that lucky...Last edited by SoxDolphin; 02-24-2012, 11:53 PM.

If you have ever taken the postal inspector application exams they are almost the same... basic questions similar to the sample ones... there will be a lot of play on the words always and never and no trying to confuse you with which is correct...ATF
