The TSA at Albany International Airport is Offering a $1000 Sign On Bonus
Looking for a gig? The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Albany International Airport is staffing up and offering a pretty fat incentive.
The TSA is looking to add officers to its staff and is offering a one thousand dollar bonus to those who sign on. Every Thursday from 6am-4pm the TSA will have a recruitment table set up on the lower level near baggage claim. The first day will be this Thursday (1/27) and run every Thursday through the end of February. Anyone interested is invited to stop by. Agents will be on hand to talk about the work they do and answer any questions.
Some of the important questions, we can answer right now:
How much does it pay?
- Starting pay is $18.99 per hour
- An increase is possible after 6 months on the job
Do I need any kind of security training?
- No, the TSA will train. Plus you will be paid during training

And let's face it, you'll be on the other side of the security point, which means you will have access to the only Chick-fil-A in the area.
