Recently applying for CFI job/interviews had a minor tail strike as a student doing a soft field landing no damage was done to the aircraft, this was unfortunate for me even, which occured on a checkride. Would this prevent being hired. Is this considered an incident? It is the reason that I busted the check ride. Dpe and school manager told me not to think twice about it and move on, my fear is pulling my records showing that I not only busted the ride, it was due to a tail strike I will immediately not be considered. Dpe even laughed because it was more of an embarrassment on my part than anything else.
