^^^ do not take this advice. Interview prep does not give you answers to interview questions. It gives you the tools to answer questions in your own words with your own answers and how to do it confidently and appropriately. Much of it may seem like common sense but it will certainly reinforce good interviewing techniques you may already have.

If you are about to interview for the last job in your professional life that is worth millions of dollars, I'd say a few hundred bucks is a small investment if for nothing more than piece of mind and a confidence boost. If for some reason you don't get an offer do you really want to be at home thinking you left something to chance.

I am in no way connected to any interview prep course but I know emerald coast used to offer you your money back if you didn't get the job. No risk there!

I see spirit is only accepting resumes in Denver, does this mean no one on one and just leave your resume in the pile? Also is it ok to show up in uniform as I can only make it in for the day between trips?

I saw a couple of guys (out of 200-250) in uniform at the DFW job fair. Its a personal choice.
Personally, I would make the effort to carry a suit and change in the restroom.

Also for the other person asking about interview preps, do it. It will boost your confidence.
Another option is recording yourself while you spout answers to hypothetical questions, video and audio preferably. If you cannot do video, just audio recording alone can give you some good insights as to how you are coming across. I would do this with a friend who can be brutally honest in his criticism.

Good option. Another cheap option is Fox rentals (check Kayak, carrentals dot com etc). Its about a 10 minute walk from the hotel, so you dont have to be dependent on the poor transportation service.

Any idea what this means? What are people's thoughts on the benefit of going to Denver.

That;s all that happens at a Spirit job fair anyway. 2 minutes of one-on-one with a recruiter, and leave your resume in the pile. It doesn't sound like Denver is any different, other than you didn't need to buy a Take-A-Number ticket to talk to Spirit, a General Admission is all you need.

I guess you just won't get to see the 30-minute Spirit Airline State of the Airline and where we're going brief from Yuri in Denver

ACS email for the DEN fair has a slot for a "Spirit Presentation" scheduled so maybe that's what that will be?

For those getting the call: what are you times? Are they coming down any?

Spirit is pretty high up on the list for me but the high total total time people are getting interviews is not close at this time.

Upwards of 4000TT. PIC anywhere north of 1000TT.

Best of luck to the guys who interviewed today.

I had a great time meeting the Spirit Reps at the job fair! I am ever hopeful to get the call! Does anyone know if there is a quick, easy way to add a letter of recommendation or two to my online resume/application packet? (I am also trying to move my packet up on the call list) I just got one from a Flight Safety instructor/examiner that left my ego in 'super boost' mode(and me a little bit weepy.) Also, any input on choosing between Spirit(great after 3+ years, a 'bit of a sacrifice' before; but even with TA talks in progress, it is the BEST 121 carrier to go with) or a fractional with double the first year pay, and capping out in the mid six figures?
