Interview experience:
I'd like to start by saying THANK YOU to everyone who posted gouges in the past. You made my life a lot easier and it definitely helped during the interview!
I had the HR portion with Claudette Carroll. She was overly nice and very laid back. The tone was very conversational. Why should we hire you? What can you offer Eagle? Why do you want to work at Eagle? What is your worst trait? What is your best trait? How would you describe yourself in one word?
I was asked if I had failed any check rides. I told them I have not, and we moved on.
They went through my logbooks with a fine tooth comb and gave me tons of paperwork to fill out. Make sure you bring a list of contact information for your previous employers. If you don't have that your day will be a lot tougher!
The sim is a Barron. They gave me a takeoff from runway 23 at KFWA climb to 3,000 and left turn to 050 to intercept the 180 VOR radial. I did 1 turn in holding over the VOR with a direct entry. Then I got a 270 heading for vectors to ILS 5. At 500' agl I was told to go missed with runway heading back to 3,000'. After that they had me fly the ILS without the flight director.
Most of the questions I was asked are in the study guide questions on this site. Review those and you'll do fine!
