Technical Test Questions TECHNICAL:
Excellent experience if you prepare!
There is little or no reason why this portion (Technical) shouldn’t be perfect as the material is extremely easy to memorize and is the easiest area to score points to help you in the overall process.
With that said, it’s important to prepare and detail the scenario as depicted on the diagrams and text- For example: Quote prior to entering runway both PF and PM shall state “Runway ___ Verified” “PF advances throttles to 40% manually advance to 85%” “Check Thrust” this provides the evaluator a true image of your study abilities and attention to details. Let the evaluator determine when too much detail is too much, until then talk away.
You are doing a chair flight ultimately from point A to point B and you are the “Captain”. To put into perspective, Pre-Departure Briefing, covering maintenance, Taxi (HOT SPOTS), takeoff, SID, abort criteria, anti-ice usage, all the nitty gritty briefing items expected in any 121 operation.
Be able to answer very basic IFR questions eg Holding speeds to altitudes or dimensions of the safe sector altitude on an approach plate – 25NM.
QRH Using again 121 reflecting on 121 operations, when we use it we let Dispatch/Main’t Control know the issue and plan of action or item resolved.
Study some very basic approach plate symbols and you will succeed.
The video you may have the ability to pick, or it may be selected for you. Be familiar with your respective policies of operations, for example if you get a Terrain Warning? Or perhaps are involved in an un-stabilized approach? What will you do? You can only reflect on your experience pertaining to the scenario presented. Recall your company/military policies and go based on that and justify what or why you are doing the action you say you will do. Safe outcome is everyone’s point of focus.
Overall the technical can be accomplished rather quickly if you know your stuff. Safe to get a 100%! Prepare!
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test? Review Gouge, the interview is rather similar in most instances.
Cog Test N/A
Cog Math Questions N/A
HR Questions Very humbling experience and the recruitment team is phenomenal to say the least. This interview is essentially yours until you decide to lose it. They only allow you to have your resumes with you, nothing else. The trailer is rather roomy and plenty of water to refresh your mind. Only official airline apps recommendations are accepted, and no other documents were asked for or accepted.
Smile, this is your dream job!
TMAT via the “STAR” method of answering questions.
While there are hundreds of possible questions, and no real way to prepare except to reflect on your past experience. While you either wait for your possible interview, or have an upcoming one, write down some stories that matter: EMERGENCY, CUSTOMER SERVICE, CONFLICT, YOU MADE A MISTAKE, YOU LEARNED SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF, YOUR BEST FLIGHT.
Very important tell me about yourself and Why United. Genuine answers naturally are greatly appreciated.
Overall great experience!
You will succeed if you believe. Please write a gouge on your experience so that others will succeed to the Dream.
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview? Looking back at Job Fairs then years! Short sighted about 2 months.
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? Yes; All are rather similar, regardless of company used self preparation and practice is the key to any successful interview. Its your stories that you know best, now its time to recall and write them down. They will help you polish them.
Any additional information you would like to add.
Is there anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process?
