I sent an updated resume and NHPS&PAQ to the women from HR that sent me the invite for the knowledge assessment. I agree, is it possible to be ignored more than just ignored. So I figured I had little to loose. Just trying to find the balance between very interested and pest.

It took an RJ guy 1.5 years after taking the test to get a call. He'd moved on at that point. Think I'd rather be the squeaky wheel.

In my opinion, if it's been more than a couple weeks since you've passed the test, I would most certainly write a short email to who ever did your phone interview and assigned you the test just letting them know you passed and are excited about the opportunity to continue to the next step in the hiring process. I understand HR may be swamped with all the hiring, but it's bs if there are such long breaks in the process without any communication from their end. This is someone's possible career on the line. If you want to work here, I see no problem taking a little extra initiative and contacting them, unless they specifically said not to within a certain time frame. Good luck.

I didn't do a phone interview before the test. It just showed up in my email. That was about 3 months ago, not a peep since.

They do it in a different order now.

It USED to be one was contacted by HR, given the phone screen, THEN sent the test link if they passed he phone screen.

Now they send the test link, THEN phone screen.

Sorry, I forgot about that. Either way, it doesn't make a difference. I'd still send an email saying you passed and are excited about the position and hope to continue in the process.

Anyone have some examples of a well written resume geared toward Atlas?

Standard pilot resume style? I'm sure they don't give a crap about how many hours single engine land I have lol.

Just bullet points with TT, Turbine, Type, PIC, and SIC for the time breakdown?

Agreed.

I'm just simply saying, the OLD way at least some personal/live interaction took place with an HR/hiring rep on the phone screen. One that told you SPECIFICALLY who to email the followup paperwork to, etc.

Whereas now, it's just not that way.

If your wife will not allow you to attend a job fair to invest time into developing your professional career to provide better care for her and your offspring, then I highly recommend you do not come to work at Atlas as this kind of wife will not support you in anything you do or anything you want to do in your own life unless she is in complete control of it and it makes her "happy". This kind of wife might divorce you eventually anyway because you lack the strength of character to stand up to her and be the actual leader in the relationship.

Either grab a sac and tell the forums you enjoy being submissive and obedient servant to her whims and you want to make her "happy" by staying home and getting a job that will allow you to be home and available everyday because she wants you to be with her......OR.....man up and let her know your career is extremely important to the livelyhood of your offspring with her and go to the job fair and get yourself an amazing job with lots of adventure and some freaking awesome co-workers.

I personally don't want you to look back in 20years from now when you are older and say, bummer, I wish I had a better job and flew at Atlas (or any major), but my wife wouldn't let me go to a job fair to make the connections and do the net working I needed.

Wouldn't you rather look back and say, I made the decision to not attend the job fair and not go to Atlas to be with my wife everyday because I wanted to be home everyday with her and see my baby grow up?

If you want a job at Atlas come and get it by going to a job fair, if you don't want a job at Atlas then don't go to the job fair and try to come here, but certainly don't blame your wife for not "allowing" you to go to a job fair.

Btw, being a stay at home father is great if she can make some good money, however if she is a stay at home mom and you are the only one bring home the bacon, then her primary duty is to care for the home & offspring which you hope is yours anyway (Aristotle reference on how woman are the only gender that knows that a child is definitely theirs).
This reply had me scratching my head. You know absolutly nothing about me, my family life, my values, nor my circumstances. If I'm already working 20 days a month (consecutive) away from home and my wife is okay with that, why the hell would I push that to be gone another couple days? I love my career, but wont sacriface them for a paycheck. You obviously missed the "haha" at the end which you should've figured out was mostly a joke. Maybe you're too "tired" from flying around the world to notice.

Well it can't be that... she's a regional pilot who doesn't work at Atlas yet.

On another note, best of luck, I hope you hear back from them soon!
