NJA DONE hiring for '08 ???

[brokeflyer]

I e-mailed the Talent Acquisition department last Friday to check on my status. The e-mailed me back today, basically thanking me for taking the time to do the phone interview in July. The apologized for the amount of time it's taken thus far. They said they hope to have communication out to me shortly.

It's not a "no".

With an avatar like that, I wouldn't hold my breath.

All great info guys...Thank you

I dont mean to cut you off because its all great, but are there any of you who had phone interviews in Aug hear anything yet?

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.

Talk about someone needing a new Talent Acquisition Team...

 

[imacdog]

Yeah I really should reconsider where the quotes went on that one. I'll try again.

Just email the TAT the page of all the "women" you dated

There, much better.

I applied a couple months ago and didn't interview. Got an email today saying I'm not qualified. I guess NetJet doesn't like furloughed airline guys with over 5500 hrs and 4 type ratings. So it looks like the NetJet hiring dept is still running.

Nothing personal Cornelius, just using your post as an example.

You are right. Your 5500 hours and 4 type ratings means nothing. You, or someone with 20,000 hours and 20 type ratings, gets no more attention then someone with the mins.

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. Again, nothing personal. I just read a lot of "airline mentality" posts where people are confused as to why XXXX hours and X type ratings didn't get them a job. We aren't an airline and applicants need to understand that and start thinking as such.

I wish you luck. I suggest to all that an email to Kathy, aka "Resume Writer" on the other forum (opray ilotpay orldway) would be time and money well spent.

Good luck all.

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.

I do understand your point DAS, its highly competive out there, and there are 1,000s of other guys out there with my same time and experience.

I think NetJets is the first company who "gets it" about flight time. Having 10,000 hours doesn't necessarily make anyone a good pilot. I have learned this from flying with some 10,000-hour pilots. Not only were some of them horrible with customers, it surprised me that some of them hadn't balled up an airplane in that many hours.

But of course, there are great 5,000 hour pilots, who might be excellent candidates for Netjets, and it's a shame that they are seemingly ignoring a lot of airline guy apps. DAS/250 is right... focus on something other than your flight time that shows you to be an excellent customer-service-drive employee.

And this all from a guy who does exactly what Netjets does who got told to shove off. I didn't focus enough on the "elite customer service" question.
