About the role

We are currently soliciting volunteers to assist with the Explosives Detection K-9 Program at SJC! Your role will be to act as a "decoy" within the San Jose Airport where K-9 teams are conducting a search activity. You will be carrying a training item either on your person or inside a piece of luggage. All volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Minors can assist if they are with an adult, but will not be permitted to carry a training item. Our dogs are NOT bite dogs! They will not growl, bark or threaten to attack. They have what we call a "passive alert" to indicate they have found what they are looking for.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
