The recruiting team and staff were all awesome! Friendly, welcoming, and created an enjoyable atmosphere. Below is my experience and perspective. That could, of course, vary depending on recruiters, candidates, and most importantly YOU (study, prep, attitude). I respect their time of contacting me and bringing me out to meet with them so I put great effort into studying, prepping, asking myself if this really is a good fit, and finally, practicing my answers so that they would get and see my BEST (they deserve it based on what they do for the candidates from start to finish). Phone screen (1 hour): Friendly, relaxed, enjoyable. If you are excited, then BE excited and let them get to know the real YOU (personality) and really why you want to work at XO (lifestyle, fit, passion). Talk through your background (personal life mixed with work/resume). Study the highlights of... Continue Reading this Interview Experience

    Apr 15, 2024 This is for Vista Jet FO pilot interview. I am actually applied when I had 1200 total time and met the minimum’s that they were hiring with before. They then wrote me back, saying I didn’t have enough time and that I should continue building my hours. Then all of a sudden I heard from them months down the road out of the blue via email to see if I’d be interested in interviewing yet. So I agreed and we arranged the virtual screening. That went well just as advertised as... Continue reading this interview experience

    Mar 25, 2024 Phone interview is exactly as what has been described; very professional, friendly, just be yourself! The in-person interview was in Columbus, OH. We started with the company overview and introduction of the key staff that day. The written test did not have any surprises on it, just follow the study guide.
