When the holiday season winds down, the job won’t end for the Transportation Security Administration. Iowa security director Tim McDonald says they’ll be putting out the “Help Wanted” sign. On December 1st, the authority will advertise on its website for 30 part-time screeners at the Des Moines airport. The part-timers won’t start work ’til next March, as it’ll take time for the hiring process and training, some of it on-the-job. All 30 or so jobs will be part-time, something that will offer flexibility for workers looking for a few hours and also economical for the homeland security agency. McDonald says the part-time workers can be “plugged in” at peak times and they won’t have to keep them all around during downtimes. To get the applications and information, surf to www.dhs.gov and click on “employees” or go to the site www.usajobs.com and register to view the jobs offered.
