Most of the work you have to do on your own. Mainly involves dusting off old stories from flying and trying to fit them into the different categories of questions. Look through your logbook to jog your memory. There are interesting flights that I completely forgot about.
Spend some time on your introduction. Make it clear and concise and interesting. Tendency will be to make it to long. You’ll end up cutting a lot of it out. Run it by your spouse a few times and get feedback.
The Delta Air Lines interview was a very enjoyable experience for me. The panel was friendly, interested in my story and non-conformational. It was more a natural conversation with colleagues, than an interview.
My impression was that they want to hire you once you step in the door. It’s yours to lose.
I’ve heard that they don’t like over-prepped candidates who sound like they’re reading from a script. They don’t like overly nervous candidates. Just natural confident but down to earth. Someone you’d want to spend 17 hours on a plane with flying to JNB. [emoji3]
Does anyone have an experience showing up to the interview over prepared that didn’t get the CJO? That seems like a strange concept in aviation.
