So bring your A game. That includes your attire. I would also recommend some job fair prep to get you in the right mindset. You get 8-10 minutes with a recruiter for an opportunity for a multi million dollar career. This is not just another job fair. You were selected out of thousands of qualified applicants. This is a chance to move to the next round. Keep that perspective at all times, and again, bring your A game.

Thank you for the great insight and perspective.

I went to the veterans event in 2016 and they specifically said business casual in the invite. I take it they didnt specify in this one

We must be. Got invited last year but had scheduling conflicts. Haven’t heard anything this year.

I don’t think we get a second chance ha...I actually got more competitive and had a second company look at my app before these invites went out and no luck

Same here. I had more flight time, volunteering, skeleton get cleared, several app reviews and nothing.


It’s ok, that 2.5k hour Skywest female is probably much more qualified, especially if she’s blonde.

Exactly why I am asking the question tool!!!! I know I am sub standard to you from your screen name, but for what its worth I heard this recommendation from a VP of Flt Ops at an event I was at where we shared a chat. HIS guidance was for events like this to be business casual but presentable and save the game on attire for the formal interview. Appreciate the great feedback!!!!

Sounds like you have a bit of an inferiority complex.

Nope. Just a very strong desire to succeed and provide for my family the way they deserve to be. They have put up with a lot as I have worked as hard as I can to get where I want to be. Want to do my best in all areas of my career and want to know I prepped rite and did everything I could to put my best foot forward.

I asked a serious question in hopes of a serious answer, which thankfully
came. Didnt appreciate the response, was having a bad day and vented it out. Simply put.
