NETJETS Interview

[JoePa]

Sorry to beat a dead horse; Interviewing tomorrow with NJA and have seen mixed info on attire. The email from Derinda says Dress attire for the interview process is business casual. Seems a little laid back (I like that), but is this what potential new hires are doing? Does it matter? I’m inclined to do as the email states. Comments…..Advice?

JoePa,

Dress like a professional, and you may be considered to be one.

That's my advice.... take it for what its worth.

Best of luck and hope to see you on the line soon.

(During my interview, I dressed in the suit both days, two different shirts and ties for the two different days. Seemed it didn't put a strike next to my name, 'cause I was hired there almost three years ago.)

I would say to wear at least a button down shirt with a tie, when you get to the lobby to go over to Bridgeway, see what everyone else is wearing (you can always take the tie off if you are over dressed). Most in my group just wore ties, one or two had on suits. Of course this time of year you could probably wear a blazer if you have one...

 

[JoePa]

Thanks... Hope to see you on the line too!

Wear a suit. You can always take off the jacket if you feel it's necessary.

I remember my interview session in 2002...we had a group of 20 people interview, only 2 people didn't wear suits. Maybe they got hired, maybe not....don't know. But, I can tell you they stood out in the crowd. Don't need 2 suits, just bring a different shirt/tie for each day and you'll be set.

Good luck!

What he said. You will not, I repeat will not, be overdressed if you wear a suit the first day. Come in something less and you may well be underdressed. Why risk the job on something like this??

Best of luck.

acceptable business casual is slacks and a collared shirt. I'd wear a shirt and tie to not feel under dressed the first night, but it is not mandatory. I know someone who didn't wear a tie the first night and got offered a job. In my interview group the couple that did wear suits the first night didn't get offered jobs. Dress appropriately, definitely wear suit the second day, but your interview won't be decided on whether you wore a suit the first night.

Suit.

 

[FLYLOW22]

For most things in life, you can NEVER be overdressed.

The opposite can not be said.

Suit.

GOOD LUCK!

Wear a suit, grey or dark blue. Dark red or blue tie. Clean, shined shoes. Fresh haircut (no more than three days old) and FRESH BREATH!

I remeber when I interviewed at AirNet the directions said no suits just nice shirt and pants. I think the guy who wore the suit did not get hired. Do they still do that?

 

[skyismyoffice]

Bermuda shorts, t-shirt and flip flops.:laugh:




I want the job (I'll be in a suit).

Good luck brother!

What does interviewing AIRNET have to do with NETJETS?

technically nothing

If I must expain it I was making a point that sometimes they want to see if you can follow directions, in my example the people who wore suits did not get the job as the directions clearly stated not too and I was asking if they still did that and I did not think it was worthy of starting another thread for that.

why where you the guy that wore the suit to AirNet?

And what do 90% of the replies you get to any of the threads apply to the original question on this bored

A thread is a new string of posts. I added a new post which is a comment or opinion about a thread. You ae confused... or drunk.

Yes, you must. I can assure you that an organization like NetJets that requires a tie to be worn to it's Operations Control Center during the week will consider it a pefectly acceptable procedure to wear a suit during a first/second impression.

why (no capitalization??) where you the guy that wore the suit to AirNet?

I dunno. I give up. You tell me.

Answer: Maybe, from your demonstration of your mastery over the English language, you don't understand what you are reading?? I'm not sure I understood your improperly constructed sentence.

I love English.

Why not? I'd wear the same shirt and tie combo both days. That's what NJA pilots do on the road, isn't it? But instead it's the same shirt and tie for 7 days? Oh wait, I forgot, unlike Flight Options your company BUYS your shirts and pays you better so you can afford to go through them quicker. Ever notice you can tell what day one of our pilots is on by the hue of his ring-around-the-collar?

Tie, yes. Shirt? Not a chance. I wear a fresh one every day, if only to be kind to my flying partner. Heh...

Oh wait, I forgot, unlike Flight Options your company BUYS your shirts...

Not out of the goodness of their hearts, I assure you. They do it because it's in the contract. Keep working at it!

:laugh:

I knew a pilot like that at CommutAir. He only owned one short-sleeve shirt, and "washed" it in the hotel sink with shampoo each night of a 4-day. uke:

I hear he's at Delta now. I'm sure he owns more shirts.

Actually I was that guy who wore the suit to the Airnet interview, and so did the two other guys in my interview group. Funny . . . all three of us got offered jobs there.

To the original poster - follow the advice of others on this thread and dress up. It is similar to going out in cold weather- you can always take layers off, but you sure as hell dont want to be wishing you had more layers to put on.

Good Luck.

JoePa,

How'd the interview go?

 

[McLovin]

The NJ interview from yesterday!

I was at FSI-CMH yesterday and saw Derinda showing the sims around to the interview group. They were all wearing suits. Man, that brought back souvenirs!

Definitely wear a suit, both days.
