I'll let you in on a few little hints
Pugwash.
Air Traffic Control is the best damn job in the world.......if you can do it. Folk around the world have worked their asses off to attain a licence, and whatever their motivating factor, when even the slightest facet of what we do is called into question, well, it's game on. It's the sundry bull!!!!! that we're exposed to that tarnishes the job and causes the negativity (internal politics, lack of communication between the Subject Matter Experts and upper echelons, screwing with pension conditions are just a start)
Many of us on here have seen and helped newbies who would give their left testicle/breast/body part just to get through the selection process. The preparation some of them go through for the selection process is admirable (and sometimes a little frightening........). On the other hand, reading a post from a "maybe applicant" that at face value
appears to be hunting for a pecking order in the job, well, that's one of those sundry facets mentioned above that certainly pisses me off. Sure, there's a rivalry in ATC (to be expected with a group of Alpha personalities), but there's too much "us and them" in ATC at the moment and it certainly doesn't need propagating.
This will sound harsh, but I double dog dare you to print your first post and take it with you should you get to interview stage and show it to the interview. Compare it to some of the posts in
