XJT Interview
 

Hello,

For those of you who have followed my posts dating back to June 2006. I have had a harsh time trying get into 121 job. Currently my totals are at 1345 and 125 MEL. However, I have not been in a twin since July 2006. Money is tight and still instructing non MEL students. I have 760 hrs. dual given. Did interview with XJT in Aug. 2006 and was not offered then. Jamie told me that I am more then welcome to reapply. Overall I think she was being sincere with that statement. The question stands what are my chances (NOV 22) Once I reapply to get an invitation again. The other lady named Amy N. wrote me an e-mail 2 days later about something and said at bottom (Keep on flying and prepping hope too see you in houston, tx soon.

In all honesty did 6 and nothing.

Thanks

To be honest, it sounds like you are reading too much into some of the things said to you during and after the interview. Most of those sound like what they tell everyone just to be nice so I wouldn't put too much on those statements. From what I hear, people are waiting several weeks or months to hear about interviews due to the backlog of applications. Maybe being a reapplicant will help you get to the top sooner, maybe not. If you really want to be here, keep applying and trying to get an interview. If you have other options, you may want to pursue those in the mean time.

PS
What does "In all honesty did 6 and nothing" mean?

Explicating
 

The 6 meaning: I have attended 6 Part 121 companies interviews and no offers.
I am 24 and desperate now. Thanks

No need to be "desperate". I have a few friends that interviewed with a lot of companies before getting their job. There are quite a few people here at XJT that got turned down the first time and than offered a job on their second interview. If you want to really work here than keep applying and keep flying and gaining experience. I know multi time is hard to come by so keep trying to get some more of that. Who knows why a company hires or doesn't hire sometimes. Keep trying and you will be at an airline soon. Then you can start wish for other other things like more days off and better pay.

Good luck.

Mark, it's not the airlines, it's you.

DMEarc: Do you have any suggestions or thoughts? Was my opinion that each other help one another. Or was I wrong?

Mark,

I've met you before. I know what your like. You've got to step back, relax, and take the interview like an interview. Don't try to impress them.

I saw your CommutAir write up. If I was a recruiter and read that, I would call of my buddies and we'd laugh about it. Answer the questions as they come. It's not as much about how you fly the airplane as it is how you present yourself. You're too abrasive.

Go see Lori Clark.

DMEARC: Where did you meet me? Can you write me via e-mail [email protected] or a PM.

Thanks

Oh, this is the same guy who did the write up for CommutAir? Wow...yeah buddy, DMEarc is right on. You need to relax. Show some personality, try to be likeable. And no, being a suckup who would sell his soul to be at a particular company is NOT personality. Its not just if you are a walking encyclopedia of aviation knowledge that the interviewers are looking for. They want to see that you know your stuff, yes. But they also want to see if they or their friends could sit next to you for 4 days in a row both in the cockpit and at the bar. During my interview at XJT I flat out told one of the interviewers that I didn't know the answer to her questions. But when the HR interview came around I sold myself like there was no tomorrow, made em laugh a little and just tried to have a good time while I was there. Yaddy yadda, almost a year later I am having a blast here and can see why they do the interviews the way they do.

Who are the other 4 of the 6?
