Sbarro would sell you a meatball for .99

AuBon Pain would sell a hard roll for $1.50

So for $2.50 you could make a little meatball sub.

This reminds me of my time as a POW at American Eagle. That was before inflation.

Things are too expensive now. Can't afford to eat on this contract.

I look like someone starved a virgin to death.

If DeeDee at Cage Marshall is still doing it, she was fantastic back in the day. I’d have paid her double for just making me feel as confident as she did walking into my interview.

Judy Tarver and Emerald Coast both have good reviews as well.

Emerald Coast is awesome. Do not rehearse answers to the point that you seem rehearsed. Have the highlights of stories down so you can have a conversation.

Any interview prep you use, be sure to use it as a framework to present YOUR story. DO NOT use it as a canned answer bank.

The interview here tends to be very relaxed, but the interviewers are sharp cookies. They can tell canned answer from a mile away. They want to know YOU, not who you used to prep. So tell them about you and what you've done in your career... own your mistakes, In fact, if you own up and present your mistakes and what you've learned, that's generally a big plus. DO NOT try to hide them. Be proud of your accomplishments and share it with them.

Something that might be helpful... When we're in recurrent training, after the checkride, it's not the check airman reading the litany of what he observed. He or she merely facilitates. No way a check airman will be any harder on me than me on myself, and that's how most guys are. So in a debrief, I own every screw up I made and what I could have done better. Approach your interview in the same fashion and you'll do fine.
