Nov 07, 2022 The experience was quite pleasant. There was a panel of three and it started with an introduction about the company and what they are looking for. Then it went in to the questioning; overall, for them to invest money into your training, they need to know that you have a desire to teach and are willing to stay.

Oct 05, 2022 I applied for an SIC position that was not publicly advertised, and someone walked in my resume. I was told I would hear back from the HR in the following day but didn't hear anything for a while. I talked to the person who walked my resume in and they talked to the HR. I received a call and did a very simple phone screening. She explained what this job is, schedule, pay, benefits, etc. Then she asked me my flight time, related experience, etc. I was invited to come to their facility so they...

They asked things like "why FlightSafety", "What do you think makes a good instructor". Turns out this company was just a short term "fix" they were using while they were...

I had a friend walk in my resume along with an internal referral; once he had done so I was told to apply online. I had three phone calls and one "official" phone interview within the first week. From that point I didn't hear anything for 4 months (not sure if that's normal or not). I followed up with an email and within two days received a phone call to interview in person, as well as, give a 10-15 minute presentation. Everything was straight forward and what one could expect... Continue reading this interview experience
