It's 90% the same as it's been for the past year or two.[FONT=Verdana]
Now THAT'S what I'm talking' about!
Another generation of "paying it forward" has arrived.
Phone interview: This is from four+ years ago, but I think it's pretty much the same.
-Tell me a little about yourself (what you have done and are doing that shows you'll be a great pilot for Atlas i. e. heavy mil, or regional w/glass/fms time, overwater, ex freight, etc.)
-What do you know about Atlas? (I kept crib sheet with Atlas stats: fleet types and numbers, hubs, typical destinations, primary customers, approx pilot count, Pres, V.P., CEO, etc., stock price/trend, Atlas general history, etc., etc.)
-Why Atlas? (growth, freight financial stability vs pax, love to see far corners of globe, prefer night flying, smaller company, like the gateway thing, etc.)
-How will you handle being gone for 17 days? (Both you AND family will be great with it)
-Any questions or comments for us? (have good questions ready if you get this: How soon could I possibly interview? Will future -8 orders be growth , replacement, or both?, 777's?, Will I be able to choose fleet type?, etc.)
As for the Miami interview, there are more up-to-date posts about the current process as it has changed slightly since I was there, but some general thoughts:
-Come prepared. Do an interview prep with someone. Emerald, Tarver, Clark, etc. Really they are all very good.
-Bring all of your stuff. Including the flight time breakdown sheet (if they still ask for it; posted earlier this thread) and copies of Atlas and non-Atlas letters of recommendation.
-Get to Miami early. Get good sleep. Eat light breakfast. Get to interview
early. Jot down names of everyone you meet (if you can't remember them). Be unfailingly polite to everyone you meet - they all can affect your interview score. Don't slouch. Don't hang at the back of the pack of interviewees (unless you are holding the door open for others). Look and be interested in what is being said. Keep your hands out of your pockets. Ask good questions whenever given the chance. Don't try to make jokes unless you are REALLY sure that they are
totally appropriate for the circumstances. Breathe. Take time to look around and enjoy the experience; You wouldn't be there if you weren't qualified and needed by Atlas. The job is yours (if you don't screw yourself to the ceiling!)
