My first job fair...

[CaptO'Brien]

What should I know? (companies management names? stock price? etc...) What should I bring? (photocopies?)...Is it more informative or am I going to be interviewed on the spot? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

In todays market, just bring a pulse!

 

[CaptO'Brien]

Well I definately have a pulse!

Your a Captain you figure it out.

Some companies are so short handed that they are interviewing on the spot. Come dressed and ready for an interview.

 

[CaptO'Brien]

I'm currently the Captain of a 172....I still have alot to figure out!

Don't worry, you will learn really fast how this industry works.

Good Luck!

Run just run away.

Just remember they will lie to you more than a army recruiter. They are looking for bodies.

Can we got some real information instead of the usual worthless posts? His question is a good one for a change, and it is something I'm also interested in knowing.

So if anyone has some valuable information, I think a lot of us would appreciate reading your post.

Some suggestions:

-Come dressed professionally for an interview (just in case)
-BRING PENS! BRING water, GUM and/or BREATH MINTS.
-Make several copies of your resume (say 20)
-Copy your medical, license, photo ID and passport all on one page and make copies (say 20)
-Bring current, logbooks with up to date totals
-Read interview gauges and make a top 5 list and go to their booths first.
-Turn off the cell phone. You can live without it for a couple of hours.
-BE YOURSELF.


Talk to EVERYONE! See all the booths! You might find a better fit at one airline over another. Ask the hard questions, recruiters are often vague and paint a really pretty picnic about their companies. Ask about benefits, expected IOE time frames. Ask to read an employee manual. Ask, ask, ask.

I'm sure there's more to add, but hope it helps. Have fun & good luck!

On target...Also, be yourself and smile...Ask questions, and then ask for the job...You want to be part of the team, right? Make sure they know that. Many people don't come out and say it...Tell them how you could be an asset...How would I feel about flying with you for a week? Think about it. They will too..
