INTERVIEW
         TIPS

 Below are a number of observations from the personal experience of qualified airline pilots and from extensive research, detailing some important tips in preparing for an interview.  These are only lists of some of the topics, which are expanded in detail when you purchase a service. Topics covered include an introduction, preparation, what the interviewer is looking for, how you as the job seeker should react and finally some common errors to avoid.

Introduction:

Before and during an interview there are many unknown facts facing you. This page tries to point out some of the pitfalls and things that you can do to enhance your chances of success.  You can prepare answers to sample questions on the next page, however, there are lots of other points to consider before the interview.  Preparation is the key to success.

Getting the interview in the first place is probably the hardest part.  Apply to as many airlines as you can in good time, not just for the job you want. The more job interviews that you get the better you become at the whole process.  If you go through interviews for companies that you are not as interested in, then you gain valuable practice at finding out what kind of questions you could get asked, as well as getting over the nerves.  Also you wouldn't believe the amount of people that have good credentials but haven't sent in an application because either they feel that they 'have plenty of time yet' or that they don't have enough hours to be considered. This latter point is best left up to the airlines that you're applying to. They'll decide if you're not qualified and you simply won't get an interview, however you have registered your interest and that can count for a lot later.
