Nice work on the new hire...2 above in headwork...I am interested to know how often the boards meet? Is there a certain amount people in the bank before they meet? or just on a preplanned date? I'm a hold up too...first day of interviews after the new year...wonderful.

Full disclosure- I didn't get hired at DL in'79 and always blamed the shrink, too. But, it's their trainset, they can run it however they want.

1 Regional non-hire
3 mil non-hire (F-15, T-6 and Navy S-3)
They all seemed pretty sharp to me, but you don't see what goes on behind the door. Sad sight to see them take the walk of shame at the end of the day. I heard one was for the panel interview, and no idea on the other three.
Interview prep may have been lacking with some of the non-hires. In my opinion, it's a huge gamble to go in without it.

I sat down with a good buddy of mine today and went over his app... I asked him the questions I was asked in the interview on the fly. His answers sucked. Do yourself a favor and do the interview prep. This interview is the rest of your life so act like it and invest in yourself!!!
