Options for interview prep...
 

I've been researching for some interview prep material. RST and Emerald Coast are two I keep seeing around. I understand its an investment but WOW its expensive! Has anyone gotten through the interview without using them? Any good study guides for Delta's written? Or alternatives?

I'm looking for advice, insight, and opinions... Thanks in advance :)

You could roll the dice on a multi million dollar career... But how much would you kick yourself if you opted not to spend the money and ended up not getting the job?

I wouldn’t even think twice. Do the prep

I used Emerald Coast to brush up on interviewing but I'd never heard of RST until the night prior to the interview. Yes, I got hired without RST but trust me, do all the prep you can get. You wouldn't wing it for a check ride or a written, would you?

Did both. If cash is tight and you can only do one, I'd do RST.

They are both a money back guarantee, no pass...get your dough back.

Did the prep (two different, reputable companies that had a solid product) the first time. Not successful.

Did zero professional prep and self-prepped the second time. Hired.

Do what's right for you. Only you know the answer.

As frequently as the system gets it wrong (as evidenced by so many instances of these hired-the-second-time-through), even Delta will acknowledge the system is flawed. They may or may not acknowledge that the whole thing is actually a sham, and their ability to choose the "right people" to hire using only 45 minutes of face time is not good. I'd argue that they could do better WITHOUT the interview... instead just contacting previous employers (they don't), and perform the testing as it currently exists.

I didn't do any formal paid prep when I got hired, but did have brutally honest prep sessions with my wife and some friends. The problem is, you don't know what you don't know. If I were interviewing today, I'd pay for the prep.

You're the umpteenth person to ask this question here, and every single person who has asked this question already knew (and didn't like) the answer before they ever asked :). I didn't have to eat ramen for a couple months to afford prep, but I would've if I had to.
