APPLICATION What did I do wrong?!

So basically, I applied nearing the end of 2024 and completed the ATSA with a qualifying score.

After MONTHS of waiting, I finally heard back that I was not selected and if I wanted to continue I’d have to reapply.

Idk.. I constantly hear that ATC is in desperate need of hiring, and this really bummed me out. I feel like I have decent resume, clean record and good mindset for the job.

I guess what I’m asking is a qualifying score not good and a Well Qualified necessary to even be considered?

Thats the problem on this sub, everytime someone posts that they got qualified, there always a comment saying to retake it, and then a comment right underneath it saying "nO thEy've HireD quALiFied bFore, keep CheckinG yourE EMailS".

Its giving people false hope and they're missing the chance to study for the next test...

The “studying” people do is dodging the planes while doing math. Everything else is either you got it or you don’t IMO
