Fedex Window open again

[AdlerDriver]

Why not just call in the best qualified, and sort them out in probation year if you're worried about a cultural fit?

btw, is there ANY fresh gauge on interviews and what to expect posted out there?

Didn't I just say they were calling those they felt had the qualifications they were looking for regardless of their lack of recommendations?

Beyond that, it's pretty routine to sort candidates that are otherwise equally qualified by using internal recommendations. That isn't unique to Fedex or aviation.

Gouge on interviews has been thin. Fedex has made candidates sign non-disclosure statements which cover interviews and testing. With all the electronic fingerprints we leave when posting and our tendency to discuss our backgrounds, I'm sure recent interviewees are pretty paranoid about being ID'd if they spilled the beans. I'm guessing you won't see too many interview specifics in a public forum.

Thanks, I was reading so fast, I missed that part.....as for the gauge, that makes sense, and since nobody has it, that's just the same as if everyone did I guess..

Why don't you use the same name you're using over on APC, CE750? I'm sure you're the only one asking for interview "gauge" and claiming to fly under "part 347".

Like the guy told you over on APC, it's "GOUGE" and like Adlerdriver told you - guys aren't going to risk their dream job to post interview details when they just signed something and said they wouldn't.

you're not using the same name, and why does it matter what name I use? As for the 2nd point, I completely understand if that's the case... I didn't KNOW this to be the case so that's why I asked... must be nice though to be able to sit on that perch and preach down to us lowly guys looking in from the outside? Wish you the best of luck.. sorry you have to be so bitter..


When I was a moderator here, I'd have deleted your post, but that's not my job anymore.. however, here is how I might have handled my question if I were you...

"There is a confidentiality agreement on the interview process and guys will not jeopardize their jobs, so it's not going to be available... good luck"

try nice... it's better than jerk..

U've never heard of people asking for gouges so they can study what BS questions they ask so that they can get the job? New concept?

no he was born a fighter pilot and then grew up to become a fedex pilot... life's good.

I understand a lot of your points about the good ole boys club. As I am not in it either. However. If getting a job at Fedex is a perk of serving your country, being gone from your family for months or years at a time, and getting shot at, so be it. I didn't serve in the military so maybe I don't deserve the coveted Fedex job. But many did serve, and they deserve the perk. If you want the gouge go to OTS, join the ANG, AF reserve, Navy reserve, or even ative duty. A lot of gouge is floating around every one of those squadrons, and there officers clubs.

In the past has going to a job fair (such as OBAP or WAI) helped if you don't have any internals and getting some face time with the recruiters?

Answer:

NO

I went to 2 Air INC job fairs and explained my situation at the time. (2004-2005). Back then, you absolutely needed 3 different people to recommend you.

I "think" we are not as hard line on this now, especially if you have MD-11 time.
