This concept seems to be common in corporate America type of jobs, but not sure about "Big-3 level / Legacy" airline jobs. Supposedly the "HR folks" want to see this.
Interviewer: Well hello Joe Pilot, have a seat, tell us about yourself
Applicant: Yes sir. Thank you for the opportunity to talk about why I want to become a First Officer with ABC Airlines. My flying background is XXXXXXXX, and I enjoy XXXX, etc
interview wraps up....
Interviewer: Any further questions Joe ? Any additional comments you wish to add ?
Applicant: ????? I just want to again say thank you for this opportunity to meet with you. I really want to become a First Officer with your company. Thanks again
Please be gentle...legit question (for me anyway)
Only one groveling plea is acceptable, at the very most, is somewhat acceptable during the interview. In the current hiring frenzy, the prospective company needs to make the sales pitch to the applicant.
