meaning of interview at NetJets

[Guitar Guy]

While NetJets doesn't hire 100% of the people they interview, they are obviously very interested if they bring you in for an interview. After all, they are paying for roundtrip airfare and a night in a hotel plus other costs associated with the interview process.

This interview was the most relaxed interview I have been through. Funny, BOTH my partner and myself crashed the sim after selecting full flaps and the sim instructor didnt know what to think except that there is a lot to be said for consistency between the two of us. Later we found out that the sim was set for a tail icing failure and unbeknownst to us with full flaps, your going down. Anyway, maybe our friends at UAL on Martin Luther King Blvd can take some lessons from our interview folks so that THEY too can be fair and relaxed when doing future interviews.......

my interview experience

I interviewd with Netjets one time for a dispatcher position. Although I was impressed by the facility, I was not impressed by organization. The guy interviewing me couldn't even remember my name, and acted like he totally didn't know what was going on. I was asked to sit in this small cramped room to fill out some application stuff.
I already had a job lined up with one of the other major fractionals, so I wasn't too concerned during the interview. I think I subconciouslly botched the NetJets interview.
It may have been a mistake looking back at how I could have been making more money at NetJets, but I guess that's all in the past.

Bgaviator - if you still want to work for NetJets, they are desperate for dispatchers. It might be worth sending in another resume.

I respectfully disagree. I suspect this perception is skewed because people who were successful in the interview are more likely to chime in when asked about the experience.

Nixon,

I guess we can agree to disagree. I've never experienced a more laid back, zero threat interview than the one I had at NJA. Both interviewers were exceedingly friendly, didn't play any "good cop, bad cop" games, and asked questions that were very straight forward. The sim eval was also very straight forward, no tricks or confusing instructions from the evaluator.

Since we weren't at your interview, we don't know what happened there. They had to see something they didn't like, either in the sim, or in the face to face interview. Did you call Derinda and ask her where you could have improved?

I can't believe that NJA would fly you out to CMH (round trip), pay for your hotel, and feed you just to turn you down for no reason. I stand by my initial post that NJA truely wants to hire you if you get the call for the interview.

The following is an EXACT copy of my email exchange with Derinda. Take from it what you will...

You may reapply after 6 months from the date on the letter. At that
time I will have you complete a one page update form (attached to this
email). Once I receive the completed form I will send you application
for review for the approval you seek. If approved it may be specific in
a whether you redo the whole interview process of part. I wish I could
be of more help, but I am not at liberty to discuss further. I look
forward to hearing from you again in March of 2007.

Dear Ms. McKinstry,

I received my NetJets letter of rejection today and although, I am
quite disappointed, I just wanted to restate that I enjoyed meeting
all of you and thought that your company was a first class operation.

I do have two questions for you if you will:

1. Am I eligible for re-interview at a future date, and if so, how
long before I am allowed to reapply?

2. What area(s) of the interview process was I found to be deficient
so that I may begin in earnest to improve so that I may have a
successful outcome in the future if allowed to do so?

Again, thank you for your time and for inviting up to Columbus to
participate in the interview process.

Best Regards,

Well I guess that blows the heck out of the idea that she will tell you where you went wrong. Good Luck to you Star, hopefully it will work out another time.

Have to disagree on the Fedex interview. The job is yours as long as you don't dork the sim or piss off an interviewer. The last I heard the pass rate was over 80%.

Probably closer to 90%.

Yeah but there is no Grip and Grin at NJA as there is at Fredex.

Yeah but there is no Grip and Grin at NJA as there is at Fredex.

True.
My 90% figure comes from the interview only. Also, the process is about 1.5 years long. It all just depends on what you want and how bad you want it.
