Interviewed in May 08 in SFO for North America DEFO posn. Mil background for 25+yrs and first foray into the civilian world. Did get the gouge/textbooks/internet search results for the interview. Walked out of there feeling I had just wasted their time and mine. I did not do any formal interview prep other than research and was a little surprised at the lack of feed back during the interview. They were very courteous and professional but their lack of facial expressions left me second guessing myself from the get go. Couple of weeks passed and I rcvd the, "Congrats when can you come to Hong Kong for the second interview?" notice. I was quite surprised and happy until I got a second one shortly there after saying they were postponing second interviews for NA DEFOs.
Being the only interview I completed, I would equate it to a military version of a syllabus upgrade oral board where you sit with senior flight examiners and you are expected to know many facets of aircraft systems/weather/IFR & Int'l rules/SOPs.
Luckily, I was able to extend in the mil while the economy has time to recover. Hope to be fortunate enough to get another call from them in year or so.
Not sure if they will change their interview, but let me know if you still want some gouge.
