I was once told by a very experienced pilot, "that if you want to fly like a 1000 hour pilot, you need to fly 1000 hours". The point of course was that there isn't a shortcut for experience. Can you be coached to pass a check ride in 14 days? Of course! Will you learn everything required or have the experience to operate in the "real world", I doubt it.

In the interviews I've conducted, the zero-to-hero profile looks good on paper but I find that they come up short in judgement area because they have very little experience. In other words, they don't know what they don't know. In terms of hiring that profile, I'd pass.
