Total new guy question-
What in the heck to put in the "skills" box on the app? I'm a retiring mil guy and I'm struggling on what they're looking for in skills.
Any magic words to avoid or use?
Thanks!

Not being rude, but the lady who runs this company used to work in the SWA people department.
They will know how to ask the questions and word-smith *your* answers into HR speak.
The money you spend on this will be earned back in a few months of per diem once you’re on the line and complaining like a normal pilot about ‘X’.
Some folks interview without prep just fine.
I chose to use it and it helped out a lot. Which might be self incriminating.
Good Luck, we’ve got a great group of people to work with here.

Probably want to pass on the “bombing” and “strafing” skills stuff. A lot of HR people come from liberal arts backgrounds.
Good luck.

What about leadership skills, organizational skills, managerial skills, supply chain skills, counseling skills, skills from your degree program, “employee” development skills, teamwork skills…
