I got a template showing the logbook milestones that should be tabbed in the logbook, and summarized on a sheet listing those milestones. Pretty much everything the job requirements lists (1500 hours, so much turbine, pic, etc etc) should be identified ahead of time, tabbed in the logbook, and listed on a summary page.

At my logbook interview with SWA, the logbook guy asked me questions for almost all of those dates. I didn't have to dig thru my logbook because I had every single one on my summary sheet. We never even really opened up the logbooks, just transcribed them from my summary onto the interviewers note page because they were already all listed out. He just had to verify that I could give him the info and that my answers matched what he'd seen in my logbooks. Easy, if you show up prepared. That alone was worth the price of my interview prep, showing up with a great logbook summary sheet so we could swap war stories for half an hour instead of digging through my logbooks trying to find out when exactly I had 1500 turbine hours or whatever.

Making a personal connection with the interview team is easier if you've got your paperwork together and don't feel pressured to prove that you meet the minimum qualifications.
