The process is very transparent; the interview team is interested in determining if you are a good fit for the company: good attitude; professional; good cultural fit.

The technical knowledge questions come straight from the topics they list on the invitation email. They based the technical interview questions on your performance on a 30 question general knowledge test--I emphasize 'general' knowledge. Some questions were challenging for me but perhaps not to others...it depends on what you know. The score is not a determining factor; as others have already said, they use the test simply to guide questions during the technical interview. My interviewer did not ask any obscure questions but was thorough in trying to expose any 'big' knowledge gaps.

The debrief was the best part of the experience and it is an indicator of a company that is truly interested people. It was fair, honest and spot-on.

I had the opportunity to talk about the company with pilots and flight attendants doing upgrade or recurrent training. To a person they were very positive about working at Skywest.

Whether it leads to an offer or not, it was a worthwhile and positive experience.
