General work experience is defined as any progressively responsible work. For example, a person working a full-time (40 hours per week) for three years would meet the three-year general work experience requirement. A person who works part-time (20 hours per week) for six years would also meet the three-year general work experience requirement.
The FAA is hiring graduates of FAA approved post-secondary educational programs, current or former Federal employees with prior air traffic control specialist experience, former military air traffic controllers, retired military controllers, and applicants from the general public with no prior air traffic control experience.
