How long after you submitted your resume did you get a call?

For those that were interviewed/hired recently, how long was it after you submitted your resume you got the invite for an interview?

Took me 3 years of continuous updates. Nobody at my interview had only applied once.

I first applied to Polar in 2006.

Regular updates to the Atlas side beginning 2010.

Interview 2013.

I got an interview about 6 months after an Atlas Captain I'd worked with walked in my particulars. The VP of flight ops said in late 2013 that 95% of new hires had an internal recommendation.

How does that occur? There have been discussions in the past that the recommendation only matters after the interview invite? Is it back to now somehow getting that recommendation to the right person in order to get the interview?

I have heard the same thing, but my buddy still shot a recommendation in internally so I'll let you know if I get a call. Going to WAI conference?

I don't doubt the 95% part, but I've had buddies text mgmt, while hanging out and they've basically said it was out of their hands. Even guys knocking on doors while in MIA asking WhatTheFu@%? Zip, Zero, Nada. Don't be confused..

Unless the Captain that walked the "particulars" in was the CP or the DO, I doubt the walk-in got him the interview (and, no, I have absolutely no idea if the CP or the DO could get you the job, so don't tell them I said they could !!! ). The only current and official info we are given is that the recs are considered after the interview. Clearly, lucky timing and persistence are the key to the initial call.

YMMV

The last time I asked, they said a recc gives u points....25 max. Also,a recc means they will evaluate your application info before they look at someone without a recc.. My impression was that the number of points from a recc/reccs was not much relative to your total score.

Actually we do get Zed Highs on Delta and USAir for parents, kids, registered common law spouse, etc. Not a great deal but it does beat a sharp stick in the eye. And if you're super nice, a lot of other Zed carriers will honor a Zed ticket issued for a different airline....so while you may have a Zed for Delta, Lufthansa might take it...just sayin'....

Also JetBlue and Southwest are both Zed mediums for us. Miss the old service charge days :0/

We have an agreement with American. It allows you, as an employee only, to purchase full fare Y tickets but I believe you are limited to four per year..... ***?!? Whoever negotiated that agreement may have been sleeping at the switch ;0)
