CBP officer

[TuffStuffCBP]

As far as searching this board or anywhere else goes, do it. This is a job where your searching skills make or break you. We search cars, planes, trains, boats, etc. We search cargo, luggage, mail. We search Goggle, Yahoo and dozens of websites. We search dozens of law enforcement and other professional and/or work related databases. In short, the skills you use "on the outside" in searching here or elsewhere to find your own answers to your questions are pretty much the skills you'll use "on the inside" to find many of the answers related to work issues. You might as well work on them today and hone them now. It'll just make you better prepared for that day on the job when you're post graduation and out off working on your own.

Touche.

merlin and kc:

Thank you for the comments. Posts from those with experience are always appreciated. Trust me, a lot of us applicants are paying attention.

[I'm ready]

has anyone who tested in 04/09 received a TO yet??? thanks.....

[Rolygsx]

Wow!

I had heard that it takes a long time to get hired at Newark, NJ. Only seeing one person on that list pretty much shattered what little hope i had left of getting a TO lol. I tested back in August of 2008, scored an 88 with no vet points. Only good news i have had is that the hiring center extended my score to be valid until June 2010.

Hi,
I've been keeping up with this site for over a year and decided to finally register. I took the test in 3/08 and scored a 79 (new york JFK). Do you think I should change my GEO I'm flexible to go anywhere, even though I know they are on a serious slow down. Any suggestions?

[tigersin2009]

just got back form the fitness test. step test was a lot harder due to the pushups, situps, side step, and lift lower right before. DO NOT GO ALL OUT. try to have a good balance that will be enough to pass you. i got 29 points for pu's, 36 points for the side step test, 16 for su's, 36 points for lift/lower for 117. i tried to go easy and i didnt do a very good job of it. step test was a bitch but i fought through and passed.

Do you have a TO for JFK? If so how long did it take you to get one? Thanks.

The reason this thread is 700+ pages long is because people keep asking, and we keep answering, the same questions over and over again. One of the reasons that questions keep being answered differently is because some people are answering questions without them really knowing the answer(s) themselves. If anyone has bothered to notice, there's really only a small handful of "experienced" CBPO's who bother to post on this thread, and a few fairly knowledgeable applicants. The same people keep answering the same questions time after time.

As far as searching this board or anywhere else goes, do it. This is a job where your searching skills make or break you. We search cars, planes, trains, boats, etc. We search cargo, luggage, mail. We search Goggle, Yahoo and dozens of websites. We search dozens of law enforcement and other professional and/or work related databases.

You might as well work on them today and hone them now. It'll just make you better prepared for that day on the job when you're post graduation and out off working on your own.

What a perfect explanation Merlin. This reminds me of a few years back when I used to perform the manual labor for de-vans at our local border. The CBPO's would look at the cargo, study the vacis image, talk to the driver, get out the laptop and research the companies involved etc......all part of the research process to take in every angle. That is one of the main reasons I applied for this position. Working alongside the officers gave me an up close and personal view of what they do and the importance of the work. I began to respect what they do more and more and then they started saying..."why don't you apply?" So....here I am....waiting....

[shortybop]

Do you have a TO for JFK? If so how long did it take you to get one? Thanks.

No! Not yet, that's why I was wondering if I should change my GEO to a different state and maybe have some luck. I think my score is too low for NYC.

[Burrell707]

So, 3 more days until FY10. I wonder how much hiring will pick up. It'd be nice to see at least 1 post a day of someone getting a call. We shall see.
