Going for interview and testing next week with my very hopeful department. My question is would it be inappropriate to where a small pin on the suit? Its a gold ATF badge with the twin towers, it was giving to those of us that had direct dealings that day. Thanks

No. Don't wear it unless you are ATF and want to explain why you wore it and want to leave Federal service. -
Clarify "direct dealings". It was given to you by whom? Is it supposed to be a conversation starter? Are you trying to show an affiliation? Is it a lucky charm? Is it something the interviewer(s) will even notice? Are you prepared to explain, in detail, where you obtained the pin without any embarrassment?
Wear are you planning to where it on your suit (sp)?

No. Even if you have a legitimate reason for wearing it, too many others come in wearing all kinds of pins for groups, events and alphabet soup agencies they've never been involved in. Wearing it won't help, but it could hurt. Any experience you've got with the ATF or 9/11 will have ample opportunity to come out during the interview.Comment
