This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Here's a list of requirements just to get your foot in the door as a "trainee," which filters out many people:
Be a United States citizen
Be age 30 or under (on the closing date of the application period)
Pass a medical examination
Pass a security investigation
Pass the FAA air traffic pre-employment test
Speak English clearly enough to be understood over communications equipment
Have three years of progressively responsible work experience, or a Bachelor's degree, or a combination of post-secondary education and work experience that totals three years
Be willing to relocate to an FAA facility based on agency staffing needs
Plus, if you get the job, the work is grueling, even with the high pay: long hours, stress from a high-pressure environment, nonexistent social life, and stagnant career prospects.
