Default Which interview prep company

Was wondering for the guys and girls that have done the video interview recently. Which company did you use to get the questions that are asked? and how accurate were they? Thanks in advance.

I did the video interview in January. I used Checked and Set for app review and Emerald Coast for interview prep. Emerald Coast had some gouge for it that matched gouge I found elsewhere. The video interview is fairly low-threat and EC scoffed at me when I asked for one-on-one prep for it ("we'll give you some if you really want it but we don't think you need it"). But their prep was exceptionally helpful for the actual interview. Definitely worth it.

A week before my interview I heard the American hiring speech at a job fair. One of the speakers was also an interviewer. I asked her if she had any specific tips for my interview the next week and her advice was "get some interview prep."

Can't say enough good stuff about Emerald Coast. I did not use and I don't think you need RST for AA.

Heads up!!!!

AA changed the video interview questions mid Aug 2018. If you are coming up on your video invite, DO NOT start the recording until you’ve spoken to someone from Emerald Coast. Just like previously mentioned, interview consulting is an absolute must and I trusted the guys at Emerald to get me my CJO here at AA. Do not waste your hard earn money on RST, not needed at all!

Just my 2 cents

Do you mind sharing your resume bullet points? Times, education, experience, etc.

5500hrs, 2000tpic, no military, part-121 CRJ-700/900 check airman and recruiter, 4yr Aviation degree with decent GPA, volunteer experience, memberships at NGPA/WIA/OBAP, and about 5 job fairs. I was hired Jan 2017.

For what it’s worth, I was turned down by United back in 2015. I prepped for that interview with Cage. I later used Emerald Coast and I felt like they provided a lot more material to study.

Great info, thank you. What job fairs did you attend that included AA? Trying to get some plans formulated for the remainder of the year/beginning of 2019.
