While on furlough I flew with a lot of American expats that wanted to know the "secret" to getting hired at United. It's simple, you have to set yourself apart from the pack to get noticed (job fair, CP meet and greet, etc) and then also be somewhat lucky. Of all the people I offered CP meet and greets, exactly 0 has made an effort to attend one. Always an excuse: I don't think I could get time off, we're traveling, oh I think we will have family visiting then, etc. Then later I get the random text message "hey, my app has been in a year already.....why hasn't United called me?" If someone can't make time to set themselves up for success why should United HR even give them the time of day?
Bingo
I ran into a random the other day said his app has been in for a couple years and nothing. He was shocked United hadn’t called with his “credentials”....I asked how often he updates his app? He said every other month I told him I updated mine at the end of every day I flew.
He said man that’s a lot of work.......can’t help someone who is not willing to put in the effort.
