Re: No Email? Pubnat 2? Information to Record + Possible Rea
I love how everyone automatically assumes that I did poorly or wasn't selected, simply because I think people are snobs on here with their high-90s. It just seems statistically impossible that 99% of the people on here made over a 97. Come on, where's your BS detector?
I never needed encouragement, nor am I concerned about my score. For all you know, I could've gotten a 99.8. Maybe I like to play devil's advocate, and you all take the bait.
It doesn't bother me so much what others "made" numerically, as it does that they think that it makes them precious. Proud? Do we have the self-esteem of a toddler?
I work at the largest astrophysics particle accelerator in the United States, and I don't run around declaring how special and privileged I am. I'm not "proud" for doing it. If I didn't, someone else would. Hell, maybe they'd do it better!
They don't hire based on your personality, as long as you aren't histrionic or lazy. They hire based on your mind and aptitude. I dig that. Unfortunately, there are too many factors I don't like.
Never once have I bragged about my AT-SAT score on here. However it is posted in my signature because I'm proud of it. I don't rub it in anyone's face, and to be quite honest it should not bother you what other people made.
As for not acquiring this score, I don't see how what you said even makes sense. The AT-SAT is something you either do well on or you fail it. You cannot study for the test (except for the gauge reading and math portions) and even then, you have to be good at that kind of stuff before even thinking about this career path.
If anything, you should be supportive of those in this online community and hope yourself that you get selected. As a manager, I'd always hire someone who is upbeat and thinking positively for themselves and their team as opposed to a whiner who is upset because they did not get selected even though they may actually deserve it.
Keep your head up. The FAA is hiring a ton of people, chances are if you did somewhat well on the AT-SAT you'll be selected at a later date.
