    Phone interview was a week prior to panel interview. Standard tell me about you, why FSI, etc. Phone interview was about 45 min to an hour. Panel interview consisted of 4 people; a Director of Training, a Program Director, and I believe someone from the Standards department. Cannot remember the 4th person's title. Very good interview experience. Felt very much like a conversation to get to know me and why I wanted to work for FSI. Study the guide on this website and be yourself! Seems like a...

    Very good interview experience. Showed up and waited in the lounge for about 5 minutes. Then was taken to a conference room where a panel of 4 people were. One was director of training, two were heads of different aircraft, and the fourth was director of standards. Started with an induction, and tell us something about you that is not on your resume. Then they asked what brought me to the area. After this it was all questions from the question bank on this site. Except one extra, (view the...

    Interview was very laid back. It was done with a panel of four flight safety individuals that were the heads of each of the aircraft that the facility trains, along with the facility training director. Then a few basic follow up questions on my resume. (view the study guide of this website).  They offered me an earlier start date, but I couldnâ??t start on that day and they were very willing to work with my...

    I recently retired from the Airlines and I was not looking to quit aviation just yet. A friend recommended me for a Sim Instructor position at FSI, I filled out the app on line and I heard back from them within days.

She called back the next day and we set up a panel interview in Atlanta, GA. The panel interview...

I had ask for...

There was a video chat interview prior to being invited to an in person meeting at the FSI DFW. No technical or regulatory questions were asked. Good...
