For me at least, I’m not a low time ERU kiddie who flipped gear for a year or two in RJ or at a cut rate 135, so yeah some of the dumb ass questions like when did I first solo, or any checkride failures when it’s been well over a decade since I did a GA ride, or playing some dumb online game to judge my piloting skills because they are too lazy to read about the flying I’ve been doing, to me these seem like dumb ass questions, and yeah you need to convince me why I want to work for you, I’m not exactly hurting at my current comfy flying gig.
Quit acting like these stock ticker companies with histories of treating their people like trash are giving you a god like chance when they invite you to interview, it’s for sure as much me interviewing them as the other way, yeah act the part and play the game, but don’t actually swallow the Kool-Aid
Nobody says you have to become indoctrinated. But don’t think legacy HR is at all impressed by whatever resume you’re sliding across the table. They have/will/continue to hire people based on gender/race/volunteerism/etc and not give two craps about the TT or experience. So sure, act like this is the place, take a shower when you’re done to wash it off, but don’t think they are creaming for whatever you think is impressive. Bottom line: they don’t hire based on experience or skills. Plan accordingly
