I applied a month and a half ago and was referred, but I sort of figured nothing would happen during all of this. I got a phone call day before yesterday telling me they would like to do my panel interview by phone. I’m just curious if anyone has any recent insight on what to expect or how the process plays out. Thanks in advance.
The interview consist of 10 questions. Take your time (I believe you have 1 hour) and answer each question completely.
IIRC, the first question is to basically tell them everything you've done in aviation. Start with the beginning and go up until now.
Other questions are "Tell us about a time when you had a confrontation with an emotionally charged individual, and how did you deal with it.", or "Tell us about a time you dealt with an aircraft emergency and how you dealt with that".
Remember, every story has a start, the middle and an end" Don't embellish, but also give enough detail so the story makes sense.
You'll probably be asked about SMS, and if you have any working knowledge of it. I'm sure some who recently interviewed can give you a better picture.
Best advise, relax and sound positive, and speak up and clearly.
