NJ Application

Red crayon, I used my sharpest Crayola brand crayon. Most of HR is female. I would recommend spraying your app with Old Spice for the finishing touch.

When I got my application in the mail and the cover letter said neatly printed or typed I checking around for a way to get it typed. Couldn't find anyone to do it, but I did find a typewriter at Goodwill for $15. Went to Kinkco's and had them make a copy of the application for me to practice my typing skills.

Well the practice copy turned out so well and the Kinkco's copy looked exactly like the original, so that was the one I mailed in.

Got the entire application packet back about two weeks later saying that NetJets only accepted their original application....no copies. I'm sure most guys fill in the original by hand and as long as it's fairly neat I don't think typing it is an issue.

For anyone out there who might have lost their scan flying glass...Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 ($30), a control yoke from CH Products ($100), and a Citation II add-on from Eaglesoft ($25) will sure be money well spent for the NetJets checkride.

Good luck to everyone trying to get on with NetJets....it's a great place to work.

Military "types"....

I got my typewriter from the PDO (Property disposal Office) on the military base I was on.

Been a few years though......

I think they realize most of us are one level below a doctor when it comes to writing skills (just look at this board).

I don't think they would "throw out" a person with the skills we need based on the world wide shortage of typewriters.

Good luck everyone..

I thought I was slick by scanning the application into a PDF file and filling it out in Acrobat (you have to have the full blown Acrobat, not the reader to do this).

But as was gmorgan's experience, I got it back stating that it had to be the original application, no copies, scans, etc.....

So I just filled it out in my best (crappy) handwriting and I still got hired.

Don't get too wrapped around the axle about it.

My sister-in-law works for Office Depot and she told me that they had typewriters and that their return policy is VERY lax..they'll take back anything, even if it's been opened and returned within the last 60 days or so. I went and put the $120 Smith Corona on the AMEX and one week later, brought it back, no questions asked.

Gator - you would be fooling with Karma to go that route bro. If your career isn't worth the $120 or a trip to the Library then stay out of aviation.

Baja.

$hit...forgot about that Karma thing...wish I would have talked to you earlier before I got that 60in. plasma from Circuit City just to watch the Superbowl today...J/K

 

[Gator1999]

But seriously you're right Baja... and come to think of it...it was Karma because I didn't get that job...hmmmmmm...now it all makes sense
