Please apply and update your pilot application regularly and as previously stated, visit the hiring/information sessions G4 hosts, if you can. There is more than one person in management here. Plus, the hiring is done in conjunction with HR and a few members of the Training dept. Online applications are pulled by interns(who are coached what to look for) and HR for further consideration by flight ops management when specific selection criterias are triggered. Flight ops management personnel here are fair, aware of the current hiring envrionment and smart enough not to paint everyone the same, regardless of an individual agenda.
If you do get to a selection level by management, your keen desire to work at G4 and that you're already living at one of their large bases (I am assuming FL), will not go un-noticed.
Cheers.
I'll respectfully disagree with you here. You'll know within a week of applying if they want you or not. I applied on the website out of the blue and a few days later received an email asking me to arrange a phone call with chief pilot Ernie for the next day. If they like you during the call, they will ask you to come to Vegas for a formal interview. If they don't like you, they probably tell you they will get back to you.
Job fair is not required. Bottom line, they don't waste any time, they probably don't go through old resumes etc.. Whatever comes in fresh is what they pick so long as you are qualified or what they are looking for.
