United interview info
 

Has anyone been invited to a interview in the past month or so?? If so is there any info you could share about the process.

Thanks.

Here's a copy & paste gouge from August...

I can not stress the importance of interview prep & sim prep in Denver prior to the interview. I was well prepared which results in confidence rather than being nervous. Practice your TMAAT questions until your delivery is smooth.
Arrived to the DEN TK :30 early
Met w Doris. She reviewed my paperwork & submitted log books etc. She gave me an "A+"
Called in to interview:15 early for my 2 person panel interview: DEN Chief Pilot & HOU HR (who I met in person a month prior)
They went over rules of engagement (stories could be aviation or non-aviation)

Was asked a couple "ice breaker" achievement questions on resume
Take 5 minutes going over your resume & career
TMAAT you resolved a problem w the help of others
TMAAT you helped someone w a task that didn't ask for it
TMAAT you had a conflict at work & how you resolved it
TMAAT you lost credibility w a coworker
What are attributes of a good/great captain?
Anything else you would like us to know?

As previously posted, they're great about putting you at ease. 3/4 through the interview, it seemed like the panel turned the corner & spoke to me as a fellow coworker/new hire rather than a pilot candidate.

Sim @ LAX:
T.O. Rwy 25L to 3,000', vectors, climbs ect. 1-360* steep turn @ 5000'. Climb to 10,000' accelerate to 270KIAS, vectors. Descend to 3000' for vectors to ILS 25R. Missed appch to 2000'. Auto pilot on: LAX closed due to a security breech. Poor WX, low fuel, what are you going to do?

A hiring board meets w/in 2 weeks & makes a final decision. I received the conditional offer 8 days later via phone call from Doris (who's a sweetheart). Relax & be yourself. United wants & needs pilots due to the huge retirements. Just like anything; if you put in the work, the results will payoff in the end.

I can't add anything beyond this. Spot on. I went sim then panel, guys seem to be about 50/50 either way. Can't say enough good things about everyone involved. It really is like pilot Disneyland, and the whole thing is over before you even know it.

The interview format listed above is exactly how mine went. I was done with the entire process in less than two and a half hours. That's not a lot of time to make a good impression.

Prep, prep, prep and then prep some more. Show up looking confident, smile and be polite. Worked for me and the other guys I interviewed with. Good luck.

I will second what you said about Doris. She was involved in my interview process from the initial screening phone call to the conference call between her and Steve Gillen offering me the job. Very classy.

A buddy of mine said one of the guys he interviewed with, Doris called his dad (United Captain) so that his dad could call him with the job offer. First class folks all the way.

I interviewed this last week and it was a great experience. Very friendly and they just wanted to get to know you. I also can't recommend sim prep and interview prep enough, it's absolutely essential. Good luck to all!

Anyone know the hiring mins? They don't say anything on their website; just that they are interviewing for FO's.

It's nice to hear these stories from you guys, that there is hope and professionalism somewhere in this industry.

The regional interview I went to was trashy and conducted by people that were rude to everyone in my interview group.
