Default Where are all the articles?

I've been looking all over the website and am unable to find some of the articles I thought use to be there. One of which was about picking the correct suit for an interview and possibly one on interview techniques? ie. don't cross your legs, keep feet on the floor ect. Are these still on the site?

If I could make a wish list it would include these items. I'd also like to see recommened study material around. I know the FAA books are all vailable on-line. I'd be more than happy to send the .pdf's of several of them over. I've saved a few.

Here they are! http://airlinepilotcentral.com/resou...resources.html

Thanks for the head's up, if you have trouble finding them that means others do to. I'll work on the menu structure some more - I was playing around with the forum menus today (notice the "profiles" link above).

Also, from the front page: click on the Video Tutorial links on the right side for a few "how to" movies.

Finally, we have some down-loadable examples of resumes and cover letters in the downloads section.

I'll PM you a email address to send what ever you'd like to submit, Thanks!

Hey Toiletduck,
I saw some ....well...not articles per se, on willflyforfood.com . They were more like suggestions from different interview applicants about some of the things you asked above. It's been a while since I visited the site, but maybe it will help.

That content is out there, although our suggestions have always been to "be yourself". I think interview gouge has been the downfall of many applicants as they try to sharp-shoot the system. If you do use that kind of info, take it with a grain of salt.

Also Willflyforfood.com Doesn't Seem To Be Updated Frequently, They're Payscales Are Different Than The Ones Here At Apc.com
I Think Hsld Does A Better Job Of Updating Apc.com

Good point....I haven't tried to use any of the suggestions, but I recall seeing some good advice on some of those websites.

Toilet Duck, like HSLD said, try and be yourself in the interview. Don’t put up a farce, it will only affect you.
I once talked to a guy who read many things like those posted in willflyforfood.com, he thought they would help, but in the end it only affected him. Every interview does not go exactly the same, and people react differently. What might have worked for one person might not work for the other.
This person I knew had everything planned out according to what he had read in willflyforfood.com and some other websites. From what I heard, the interview process went slightly different, and he got screwed. (I think he panicked…[you know, like when you study the answers for test #1 but the teachers pulls out test #2]…)
My point is be yourself, they’ll notice if your stiff and following a mental script.
Expect the unexpected have fun at your interviews, they’ll tech you things about yourself, and in the end even if you did not get hired at lest you got some interviewing experience.
If you do it right, you will do it right at the majors and in life.
I hope you get hired at the regional of your choice. Good Luck.

P.S. By all means prepare for your interviews. My point was that, websites like that, show how interviews went for other guy’s, and don’t really help your cause. Everybody is different; they might have hired that guy for a vast amount of hours, and someone else because of excellent personality, and someone else for a mixture of both.

Just my .02 cents. Take it with a big grain of salt, and some lemonade. LOL
