In my years I have found that HR department are filled with very insecure people justifying their employment positions...i.e. not in touch with what position they are hiring for...I have 3 people on my payroll that are HR types and I have to keep a close eye on what "they" are looking for and what "I" am looking for...Play the game though...Cooperate and graduate attitude seems to work well...Show an interest in the company your applying for and not the position...Good luck.

Yeah, professional HR folks are a crapshoot, try to get whatever gouge there is. When I was a manager of a very technical department at a large corporation, I did all of my own interviews after I figured out that the HR folks would send me mostly "quota fillers" without much regard for technical or people skills. Fortunately, the nature of my group (overseas contracts in potentially hazardous areas) gave me the authority to overide HR on any hire...most managers didn't have that luxury, that had to take what they were given.

I've been with three majors. In every interview they (HR) looked for specific answers, with specific examples to support that answer. A complete H.R. answer incorporates, Situation. Task. Actions( your). and Results which should always be positive regardless of whether the situation was or not.

As Calpilot said at CAL the interview are done by normally Chief Pilots or Check airmen. The only sort of exception is that KD who runs the whole recruitment effort is officially off-line. His offical title is "Manager of Pilot Recruitment" He was a line capt but went into the school house full time for some reason.
XJT had the 3 stage interview with 2 rooms with 2 line pilots and one with a higher up (Director of Training/Flight Ops/ Chief Pilot etc...) and an HR person.

HR interview
As has been said here, at CAL you'll get interviewed by 3 line/management pilots. Most of the interview is HR format, I found the best way to prepare for this was aviationinterviews.com. Just review the previous posts and study your logbooks to find stories that fit the question. Good luck!
