I’ve applied to numerous jobs and still haven’t been selected. Why?

Listed below are some of the most common reasons why candidates are not chosen for an interview:

Incomplete application / missing information
Overqualified for the position / pay expectations are too high
Did not meet the minimum requirements of the job (specific skills, experience, and/or requirements listed in the job description, valid driver’s license, etc.)
Home address is too far from the work location

Do I need a valid Driver’s License to work for PSC?

Most sites where we work require a valid driver’s license. Make sure you check the “Job Requirements” section in the job description for each position you’re applying for to ensure you meet all requirements.

Do I need a TWIC Card?

At many of the sites where we work, our customers require our employees to have a Transportation Worker Identification Credential, also known as TWIC®. The TWIC is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of the nation’s maritime facilities and vessels. TSA conducts a security threat assessment (background check) to determine a person’s eligibility and issues the credential. U.S. citizens and immigrants in certain immigration categories may apply for the credential.

LEARN MORE ABOUT TWIC

You do not need a TWIC to apply or to be considered for employment with PSC Group. However, because it can take 3-8 weeks or longer to obtain a TWIC, you may decide to apply for one now in case you are selected for employment at a TWIC-required site. NOTE: It is critical that you bring the required identity/immigration documentation to the in-person TWIC enrollment.

Please note that any costs associated with obtaining a TWIC are the applicant’s responsibility, not PSC’s. Also, obtaining a TWIC is not a guarantee of employment with PSC or with a customer that requires all site personnel to have a TWIC.

Will I have to take a drug test?

Applicants for employment with PSC Group will be required to undergo pre-employment screenings for drugs and alcohol. The testing procedures and other background check requirements vary depending on the work location and/or job duties, and per our customer contracts.

Make sure you check the “Job Qualifications” section of the job description for each job you apply for, to view the drug screen and background requirement.

PSC employees may be required to obtain a pair of lace up, steel-toe work boots.
PSC employees will receive a hard hat, safety glasses, gloves and any other PPE that is required to perform the job safely.
If your site requires uniforms and/or flame-retardant clothing (FRCs), they will be provided at no cost at the time of hire.
