Part Three: Selection and training - Choosing and preparing the best people for the job

Interviews
Interviews are time-consuming, but face-to-face contact with potential workers is important. Airport Jobs can help make your interview process easier:

  • Advance preparation reduces headaches. Airport Jobs staff can review applications, field questions and provide interview space as available.
  • Enhanced interview pools include applicants with prior experience and those who applied for similar positions in the past.
  • Candidates who apply for positions through Airport Jobs are doing so because they already know they want to work at the Airport.

Security Badge (SIDA/AOA) Test Preparation 
New security standards mean employees have to measure up. It also means employers can lose out by hiring someone who can't pass Sea-Tac's security badge tests. Make sure it doesn't happen to you - Airport Jobs Security Badge Test Preparation program:

  • Minimizes language issues that prevent non-native English speakers from working, taking promotions, or completing duties.
  • Provides customized test preparation from South Seattle Community College ESL instructors for both existing employees and new applicants who are non-native English speakers.
  • Gets results: 93% test pass rate among those who complete the test preparation course.
