Default Scoring The Interview

Hello JB Crew, for those that got hired recently, did you use an interview or resume prep company to stand out and if so which one? Trying to make myself as marketable as possible for B6. Thanks!! Any tips or advice is appreciated.

There must be something that B6 is looking for. I can't quite place what it is, though. My buddy has lived in NYC for all this life, and he was hired with 0 TPIC, CRJ type rating, Hispanic (miniority), less than 4000 hours total time. He was lucky in that he had zero LORs and was spared the hassle of going to a job fair. The People's Department must like this type of background.

If he had thin, finely man-scaped facial hair he was the holy trinity to HR here.

Oh man, I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but you literally just answered your own question. Definitively.

Haha. Yeah, they also hired four of his buddies for the same class who were also NYC-dwelling, Hispanic low total time regional FOs, so the pattern didn't strike me exactly as coincidental. Just a hunch, but someone who is an average white male coming from the regionals will probably have to jump through a few hoops like job fairs, LORs, flight credentails, extracurricular activism, and union work to go to JetBlue especially now with your new contract.

I guess no one wants to answer your question. I used Emerald Coast a few years ago. It did a decent job preparing me for the interview. I think that's what most people use for prep.

Yes certainly, I am interested in working for JetBlue as a Florida-based pilot. So I wish good luck to all. And no I haven't PMed anyone.
