I scored a 74 (North East). I knew it was going to be in the 70s due to me running out of time on the math section. If I had more time, my score would be better.
It may take years to even be considered. I'm 31 years ago, so I need to find something. I just don't know what to do anymore. If I was in my mid 20s, then I would wait it out. Applying for other FLE jobs would require to travel out of state, and I don't have the money with me working in retail and supporting my mother.
The only options I have left is applying for highway patrol or joining the military. The former still being dangerous, and the latter I wouldn't mind joining if I was in my mid 20s. I've applied for ISO and recent graduate positions over the past two years, and I can't even get a referral.
Sigh. I just don't know anymore.CBP Officer

Sorry guys just a little ticked off exprience does help much.
Score is only about TSL order. If you don't like it, retest and get a higher score.
You will have the opportunity to state your case that your experience matters. If it is determined that you have relevant and ample experience, you will be rewarded with a GS-7 job, which amounts to $7475 in base salary extra your first year and more after that.

I have read on these forums that it is very difficult to get a transfer within the agency. I applied for Central East Coast, and it appears that there is a current need for North East (JFK/Newark). I was under the impression that JFK/Newark were North East and not Central East. My wife and I are looking to move in the next few years out of NY as it is too expensive here. This could turn out to be an issue if, when the time comes, I was offered a NY position. I guess it is a "take whatever you can get type of situation" given the difficulty of getting in.
