I have been preparing for months and was looking for insight from anyone who has recently been through the process. Thank you for your useful addition to this thread.

Seems like all things a prepared candidate would know, like the fact that there is no sim ride.

Use Cage or ECI.

Interview prep teaches you how to present yourself in a way that is attractive to those conducting the interview and making the decision to hire you.

It will not change who you are. It will not give you experience or skills you do not have. It will show you how to show off the experience and skills you already have in a more flattering light than you otherwise might. The price is very modest for the return on investment. I used Emerald Coast and can recommend them without reservation. I understand Cage is considered the gold standard for United specific prep.

The only wrong choice is to not get professional advice.

Groom. Shave that deployment stash. Be nice to everyone, ask the security guy how the broncos are going to do next season. Posture, review your roll-a-dex of memorys in prep of tmat questions. Practice answering in the star format. Be honest about your fu kups and be prepared to show how you grew from them.

Pretty sure I heard she retired.

You heard right. This week's Flight Ops Update noted her retirement as well as BK's.

If you really want to stand out? Express yourself through interpretive dance. Set up lights and sounds to help really get the audience involved. Make them feel what your felling.
All jokes aside, best of luck.
