NetJets Phone Interview

[lookin4better]

Well, if it's reached the point where supply far outweighs demand then how else are they going to sift through thousands of qualified apps? Alaska and UPS have been doing it for years. 99% of corporate jobs are filled because of "who you know." I said before that those of us without an internal LOR are going to be waiting a year or more for an interview call - if we get one at all.

couldnt agree more....life isnt fair....if you dont know somone or are not a good networker...its probably not going to happen....I know it sounds unfair but it is what it is.

Has anyone with turbo-prop time been called at all? From all of the gauge I have read, it seems like NJ wants jet time.

Not true.

I actually did apply 8 days ago. A friend of mine physically walked my application into the Recruiting Office in Columbus. I also had a couple of internal rec. letters from cuurent NJA employees.

No, I never received an app. accepted or received e-mail. The first e-mail I received was to setup the phone interview.[/quote]


I wonder why you have to do a phone interview? Seems that some are invited to Ohio without having any phone interview.

 

[lookin4better]

I know of at least 3 that were invited last month without a phone interview.

Here is my guess: For people whos background may SEEM to lack in customer service training / experience, they are going to test it out over the phone before the invite ( before they spend money to call them in ) Safety is #1 at Netjets but customer service is VERY important and they want people who can accomplish that ....i know my spelling is horrible....however that is my theory on the phone interview.

Good theory, however, I have been flying charter for 3 years. Beyond that, I had a few years of customer service work that was not aviation related. What is even more weird is that I live in Columbus so they wouldn't have to spend any money to get me there and lodge me there.

Who knows what they are doing? It makes me nervous though because there has been little to no gouge on the phone stuff.

I think L4B has it right. Not that you don't have the background, but it seems like there has been a BIG shift to the customer service side of the interview. PERHAPS what they have done is brought back the phone interview process because of such a low hire rate. Meaning that since so few are being selected they are going back to the phone interview as a way to weed people out and, as previously stated, save the time and expense of a face to face.

You'll do well though, so I wouldn't sweat it.

This is the last thread on the phone interview. There isn't really much more that I have found about it.

Would that be a gas gauge or an oil gauge? :laugh:
Just hang in there, our dept. is swamped. Hope your TBP time is PIC. That would be a difference over a guy with jet time SIC.

I talked to someone one got interviewing today, he said they were told the HR phone interviews have been brought back.

Do all applicants receive an email stating their application was "received". I applied about a month ago which I know is a nano second in the world of applications but I hadn't recieved an email stating application "received".

I have many NetJets pilots on our planes to pick up their jets, they are all super nice and and encourge the crew to apply. Just trying to get through the front door any suggestions?

Best of luck to those with a scheduled interview and those waiting for the call. NJW

I think the average from the time you actually put your app in until the accepted e-mail is about 2 months (with an internal rec).
