Life at a Fortune 100 Company

[hmmm]

Being that you really need to know someone why do they even advertise that they are looking for someone.

I guess the answer doesn't really matter since every company is different at this level.

I actually found my job on Monster. I then called the Chief Pilot and asked if the job was still open. My job is more than flying, so there was a very long list of qualifications required for hiring. I got a quick interview and was hired. However, every other pilot at our company was hired with internal recommendations of some sort or another. We have to adhere to strict HR standards for interviewing, but we have total freedom on who we hire.

If its a corporation, they usually advertise publicly in some way or another to keep the Equal Oppurtunity Employment morons off their back.

PM CRJCA, Rumrunnr78 or me about one of the top 16 on that list...

Department got chopped in half like *that* (sound of fingers snapping).

Guys got fired then asked if interested in staying. Those who said yes were told either, "Okay" or "Never mind. Sorry we asked you."

It's a turbulent world. When CEOs change you could be on the street before you see the train coming if you aren't careful (I always see trains coming so my bets are hedged most of the time).

We went through a CEO change a short time back. Even though we all knew him and he was a big user of the department I still held my breath. CEO's tend to start their own path as soon as possible.

In the end there is nothing that you can do other than always have your resume and credentials up to date and current. Be ready for anything.

I don't think being a F100 really matters. In this industry there will be really great careers and then there will be jobs. My 2 cents.
