Working here has always been my dream and delta is where I plan on working for the rest of my flying career. I really don’t want to screw this up. My interview is about two months away, I’ve pretty much read through all the threads on this forum and would like some recent reviews of some that have gone through the interview. I barely meet Their turbine requirements which is adding a bit of pressure/stress and I want to make sure I am as best prepared as I can be when the time arrives. I’d appreciate any sort of feedback, advice, words of wisdom, or anything that may be useful in being successful in the process. Thanks
If you've never had a major/legacy airline interview before, consider Emerald Coast. They will teach you how to deliver a proper introduction, help you find flying stories from your logbooks, and help you organize those thoughts into the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action Result), which is required.
I didn't prep for this interview, because I've been interviewing lately, and felt fine (I got a CJO). I've also done some interviewing in the past. I think the interviewers at any airline can tell where you prepped, and how much, and they dislike both unprepared and over prepared candidates. An underprepared candidate will be overly anxious, and tend to ramble, or be unable to answer situational questions. And over prepared candidate will seem insincere and robotic, which leads the interviewers to think they aren't interested or are insincere/hiding something. So you want that "just right" level of prep. The best advice I'd give is work on the basics I mentioned above, but don't overdo it. Definitely don't memorize any answers or scripts. Go in there, be yourself, and show them what kind of person, pilot, decision maker, and leader you are. Don't tell them what you think they want to hear. They definitely want to see the real you. If you get a hard question about your application (missed something?) or something in your past, don't go down a rabbit hole. Just deal with it calmly and factually, and move on. This goes for any airline, not just Delta.
