[RedDogC130]

For those like myself...waiting and hoping, let us know if you get the call or letter. Thanks

 

[Remington]

Well our fate has been sealed. Hopefully not in an envelope.

 

[CA1900]

Indeed, I'm anxiously waiting. Whoever gets the first call, please let us know! (So we can panic. Heh.)

FYI, after the July decision board, it took 3-4 days before any calls started going out. This board had higher then normal numbers also so not quite sure what to expect. Anybody have confirmation that the board was the 16th or 17th? Good luck to everyone!

Sorry CA1900....I know your gonna jump when you see someone reply, just as I do. No call yet buddy.

I was just wondering, is the Decision Board always one day? I mean, that's a lot of people to go through in just one day. It seems like nobody here got a call today and nobody on my e-mail list of people I interviewed with got one either. So I was thinking that maybe it ran into a second day because so many people were interviewed. They did quite a few interviews in July....at least 3 weeks worth at roughly 12 a day.

When you guys find out you were successful (or before then, depending on your mood), I'm looking for a little guidance myself. Interviewing 15 Sep, and any info is helpful. Did some prep, so know all about the TMAAT and the LOI, but for those of you who just went through it, any survival tips? Good luck to all you guys, maybe I can be your F/O someday.

Moderate amounts of caffeine, happy thoughts and lots of smiling. All within the constraints of being yourself. Your happy, positive side.

But I wouldn't go with the wacky, mad cap tricks found in the book "Nuts". Think enthusiasm while maintaining an underlying professional attitude.

IMHO, how you would interact with fellow employees in a typical work setting.

I am a complete coffee addict, but i didn't touch any te day of the interview. Your addreneline will have you jittery enough. It may sound silly but I drank a ton of water (because addreneline dehydrates you something fierce) and I went to the can at every opportunity. Between each interview I went to the "office" and gave myself two minutes to regroup.

I made a concerted effort to slow down and listen to everyone and not rush anything. I think it is very easy to let the situation take control - you are very excited and you want to perform well. This can kick in your fight or flight response and make you come accross as nervous, spastic or just too intenese. Everybody is differnt, but to keep myself (relativly) calm I stood whenever I could and focused on small physical things I can control (breathing, walking, etc)

Oh yeah, bring breath mints - adreneline also dries out your mouth and can give you serious kitten breath.

Got my rejection letter today. Not too surprised.

Guess third time ain't the charm. Good luck to all.

 

[CA1900]

Very sorry to hear it. This business is a mystery to me, it truly is.

After I read your message, I checked my mailbox. Nothing yet, but then again it'd have farther to travel. Ack.

Did your references get called??
Thanx.

 

[HalinTexas]

Nope, not that I'm aware of. I'm sure I would have gotten word from one or more of them if they had.

 

[Whataburger]

Thanx for the response. I think if I got the letter today, I would be too far in the bag to run this computer.

 

['72Gremlin]

A letter 2 days after the decision board? Wow... that's pretty quick. Usually, it seems the calls go out just before the letters arrive. Sorry to hear the bad news.

 

[1stCivDiv]

shaking...

What are the chances that calls will go out before the weekend? I can't take much more of this...

 

[Mr Hat]

Here's how I deal with it....
