I've always thought interview preps were a bit over the top (not saying not to prep, just companies). I want them to meet me, not my "representative", if you will. What is everyone's opinion on the matter? This is extremely important to me, I don't want to seem like I'm downplaying it, but Is my personal prep really not enough?
What is your future career worth? The interview prep costs a couple of hundred dollars. the first year at Atlas you'll make about two hundred times that. Weigh the value.
I had interviewed at a regional and another ACMI carrier just prior to my Atlas interview. I sort of considered them to be practice interviews because Atlas was my ultimate goal. I still felt that the money and time spent for the interview prep was well worth it. You'll get the latest gouge, answers to those pesky grey areas, great tips, but more than that, confidence. It's not simply the answers, but the delivery method that will land the job.
While Atlas isn't the most demanding interview in the world, if you want to have a great day nailing the interview, a prep service (no matter which one you use) will definitely help.
