Process -
Show up at least an hour before your scheduled interview time.
1st floor. Meet and greet. Hand over log books. **** test and finger print.
Takin to 2nd floor.
Lobby room - Another meet and greet and casual talk with JB employees.
Likely to have some chief pilots there.
Two interviewers show up to take you to interview room.
One is likely to be part of HR - One is a pilot.
They will tell you exactly how the interview process goes and what is expected.
They will tell you about themselves in summary. Then ask you to talk about
you. Skim over your resume' but don't repeat it verbatim. Talk about yourself a little.
Then the interview questions will start. About 30-40 minutes. No tech questions.
At end they ask you if you have a few questions for them. (see my notes)
Then they will take you back to Lobby room. Someone will then come get you for the exit interview. They will ask you how it went, when can you start, is there
anything in the background check (DUI, Speeding, Faa violation, Arrest) that they may find that might stop the phase 2 hiring process for you.
If so you will go sit with another HR person to explain it.
Then you will say goodbye, pickup your log books and hop on the JB shuttle back to JFK and wait.
