Defiantly not. I didn’t know anyone here and I got hired. Job fair is pretty much mandatory in this situation though.

If you have no internal recommendations or connections... I’d start finding the next job fair UPS is attending, otherwise you’re gonna be waiting awhile for that phone call.

I know from formerly being in a position that hires, one possible explanation is your resume has an error that you may not have noticed. Consider having an outsider take a look, sometimes we get so used to reading them that we see what we want to see. Good luck.

Ask your internal recs if they can inquire with HR what is going on. The other big gotcha can be lack of a 4 year degree.

The biz jet folks I know here all had extensive international experience in something like a G-V. I don't know if thats the secret sauce but it seems to be a common theme.
