CJO with Stats and my experience
2nd time posting:
TT: 3500 (all military, mostly C-17)
PIC: 1700, with 800 being in a single engine turboprop
Timeline:
In July 2018, app completed and "active". 1 week later, got 1 internal rec in and attended job fair. Called HR the week after that (as instructed), Capt called me back days later with phone interview, then Hogan. 2 weeks after passing the Hogan, got invited to interview scheduled for 7 weeks later. Pool and CJO as posted above. 2nd internal rec came in about 3 weeks after my app was complete, 3rd internal rec came in 4 weeks after the interview.
Job Fair: At UPS's booth I talked with a FO who asked me to put my email address into the company IPAD for tracking purposes. After a few introductory questions, he tapped the HR person on the shoulder and said "this guy is exactly who we are looking for." HR person talked with me, then said to call her next week. That would not have happened without attending a job fair, however, I didn't have my app in long enough to know if my background alone could have gotten me further along (not likely).
The pool was frustratingly long because I thought I screwed up the interview and getting no feedback for 6 weeks after the interview didn't help. Sounds like the hiring department is just very busy.
UPS is my 1st choice and my only interview & CJO in this 7 month period. I have apps in at all Majors, and with the big 3, I have 3 internal recs at each and still no contact. Strange right?
