NJA DONE hiring for '08 ???

[Until It Sleeps]

Thanks for the update guys...I was end of Aug as well. Here's to '09

 

[DAS at 10/250]

, and there are 1,000s of other guys out there with my same time and experience.

And that's the problem. Don't take a "no" from NJ personal or even as a sign that you aren't what we want. There are over 4000 applications on file. Some 1000+ have internal LOR's. We're only hiring 300 this year. So 70% of the guys with internal letters are going to get rejected this year.

If this is where you want to be then keep after it. I applied before the IBB and I still waited one year to get an interview. 13 months total from resume submission to IOE. Your disadvantage is that there is a larger pool of guys who want on now.

Reapply. Update. Focus on CS. Stay positive.

Again, best of luck!

Aug interview

I had a july 2nd phone interview. It took between 6-7 weeks to get a phone call from them. They called and offered me a interview in CMH the end of Aug. After this interview I got a phone call from them around the 18th of sep. She told me that they were still very interested in me, but were done hiring/interviewing for 2008. She said someone would call me every month and give me an update. She stated if i was offered a position it would be early 09.

Good luck everybody, I'll reapply when the app goes electronic.

An applicant has got to stand out as customer service oriented. In your case you would have needed something impressive to show that you have more then 5500 hours experience of walking in and turning left.

I guess this is the first time I've heard that one. I thought it was the goal of our hiring department to get the best 10% out of each catagory (mil, 121, corporate)?

You did your phone interview on the same day I did mine. I heard nothing from them for 10 weeks. I finally e-mailed them and got back a generic response that pretty much said there's a lot of people. Be patient. I don't get it. She seemed impressed with my CS background. I was not only a gate/ticket agent, but also a Flight Attendant in a former life.

Like someone else said, don't take it personal. I sound like a broken record, but in my interview class (6 months ago), our whole class of 12 was shot down! This includes 4 fractional guys (including me)!

Aren't we the top of the top when it comes to CS? Guess not.

I really dont know how they make the decisions they do. I did have a lot of internal letters from pilots and OSR peple. From what i have been told by all of them, its not about flying as much as it is customer service.

I did my phone interview August 1st, got an email saying "no thanks" almost four weeks later... if you haven't heard anything, I hope (and think) you're still in business. I just wouldn't count on working there until mid 2009.

I did my interview in Aug with the Head of training he told me he would send my interview on the the next stage but couldn't tell me when I would get interviewed maybe 2 weeks 2 months or never was his response. He told me there were a lot of pilots in Que. Dont know if this helps. I'm still waiting my buddy interview 2 week after I did and he got the Dear John email yesterday.

real nice. I hope the market comes back soon so management doesn't see guys falling all over themselves to get hired there. (i'm guilty as charged as well)

I did my interview in Aug with the Head of training...

Was the phone interview still following the previous customer service/HR profile that has been posted? Since you received a call from the head of training I was curious if there were any technical questions?

Thanks!

The interview class was cancelled? Never heard of an interview class. We have enough hired to fill remaining slots for 2008. This is not a recent revelation. We have a huge stack of more than qualified candidates.

Did anyone consider we may just draw from the pool that already exists before we bring more folks to CMH anyway?

The web site says they're not even accepting FA applications, yet there are people going to CMH for panels. The pool is big...

 

[brokeflyer]

just keep sending in apps....

 

[bmxandjets]

good luck to you all, i am a "poolie" who was told i won't be in class till '09...

seems the waves come and go...hopefully the waves will start rolling again soon.

Its just frustrating to us airline guys that NetJet sends out rejection emails before you even interview. I've talked to a few of my colleagues who have gotten the same email, 1 even had 6 NetJet pilot LORs.

Again, it's how the resume/cover letter is written. The "rejection email" is generated by the "key word" scanner. NJ has programmed a computer to pick out certain words...and most pilots are so used to giving ratings and times that the "filter" kicks it back b/c it doesn't see the CS words. Invest in a good resume writer...it could be the difference between getting a "shot" and getting the shaft.

What is your source? How did you find out this info about the "key word scanner."

Not trying to be an ass, but I have never heard of a "key word scanner."

Keyword scanners have been in use since the mid 90s by several large corporations. Now does NJA use it? I have no idea. They certainly receive enough apps to justify it but who knows????

 

[tampajetkiki]

Any idea on flight attendant hiring? Not able on the website, just wondering if anyone has any info?! Thanks

When did you apply to NJA and can you give us a summary of your background. I'm trying to give my buddies that I gave LOR's for an idea what is going on with hiring.

Thanks
