NJ Application

[JetPilot_Mike]

Finally got my application, looks like it will take a bit of time to fill it out. Does anyone think it really matters if you type or use a pen? I mean who has a typewriter anymore these days!?

I used pen. I am interviewing later on this month, just write neatly.

I used a pen and a lot of white out on the time matrix. I got the email for the interview on 1-2 Feb

I wrote in my neatest hand writing, which still looked like chicken scratch. I made the mistake of letting my fiancee write some of it because she has such neat handwriting, but she botched up my flight times and i had to white it out which made it look even worse. Got the interview e mail 5 days later and the job the day after the interview. Good luck

Sent out an email to my wifes book club and found a typewritter to use. Spent the time and sent in a typed application. My experience is that all the little things add up and may help push you over the fense if there ever is any question on if they should hire you or not.

Good luck to all!

If no typewriter.. use a pencil lightly till you get it right then overwrite with pen and erase.

I made copies of the application pages, and used the copies to make sure I was putting down the correct info...when satisfied, I transferred the info to the actual application...this especially works well with the flight time grid.

Did you mean "push you over defense" or "push you over the fence"? I hope that typewriter had spell check!

This is what I did as well. It takes a little longer to do a draft first but I did catch some mistakes that would have looked bad on the application.

My friend was hired at NJA before I was. When he was doing his app he called me to ask if I had a typewriter. He had checked every office store in town with no luck. I knew I'd had a Smith-Corona in the closet at one time but I figured my wife had made me get rid of it years ago (I'm the pack rat, she wants stuff cleared out every few years). To my surprise it was still buried in the closet and still worked great. It even has a 50K word spell checker and the ribbon has the white erase stuff on the lower half so it's easy to make corrections. I still copied the app and filled the copy in with pencil before I typed the real thing.

If anyone is in the CLT area and needs to borrow it send me a PM. It's back in the closet gathering dust again.

Also, I think some libaries have typewriters you can use, check that out too.
