How to get a JB interview

[marcal]

I'm officially in the market to try to move onto greener pastures and have had my stuff in for a while. What is the trick at JB? Is it purely the computer that spits your name out? Can a friend help a little(besides blue dart)? Can I show up at HQ and talk to DM? Any help would be appreciated.

Well, first of all they are not currently interviewing, and it sounds like they won't be unbtil the end of the year or beginning of 07.

I am under the impression it helps to update often, but I have been doing this since 2000 and have not gotten the call. I meet and exceed all minimums.Hang in there.

Wow, 2000? That's got to be tough - do you have any app's in to other airlines? Just curious...

I applied in May of 2005 with times slightly above their minimums. I updated on a monthly basis and attended an Air Inc conference in Jan 06. I got a call about a month after Air Inc and interviewed in May. I didn't know anyone who worked there although I did have a friend who was just finishing training. The friend had nothing to do with getting the interview but did do an internal rec for the interview. I'm not sure why I got the call when I did, but I have a suspicion that the Air Inc conference put me in a different stack than just the apply on line stack. Meeting a recruiter face to face puts a personality with a resume which makes it much easier for them to not waste their time interviewing people they know won't fit the culture. I would go to the next Air Inc conference that JetBlue attends if you are really interested.

Yeah, 6 years is a long time, huh? I do have my apps in with a few others, but have not had any luck in that department either. I must really stink

I have never contributed to the Kit Darby Retirement Fund, so maybe that is what is hurting me, I dunno.
