It's an individual choice one has to make if they decide to pursue interview prep. I'd be willing to bet the majority of pilots that have used a successful prep company will tell you that it was more than what they originally thought it would be.

Interview prep is more that just a few hours of asking and answering TMAAT and WWYD type questions. At least with us and our clients it is. It's about telling your story and letting it be heard. You only have a few hours to highlight why "you" are the right guy/gal for the job. We all have different stories and experiences, but telling your story under various circumstances is a challenge for some. Even the best of the best pilots can be humbled at what they learn from experiencing professional interview prep.

I wish pilots who haven't attended professional interview prep could sit in on some sessions and see what goes on. Every company is different in how they conduct their prep. But having consultants who have been recruiters, sat on interview panels/hiring boards and listened to hundreds of pilots a year come in and tell their story, it's an incredibly unique experience. Now, we can be of help to those incoming pilots who are interviewing at XYZ airline and have never sat on the other side of the interview table. Many pilots are unaware of what goes on "behind the scenes".

Many pilots also fear the situational based questions or the WWYD scenarios, but you'd be amazed at how many times over the years I've sat in horror listening to a client try and explain the simplest of the simple; like Why Frontier?

Hope this helps a bit and good luck to the Frontier candidates. Lots of hiring to be done this year. One of the best pilot groups in the industry that future candidates will be joining. It's always a pleasure prepping Frontier candidates.
