General Overview of Experience Short, sweet, and to the point. Extremely welcoming! It isn’t drawn out or filled with tedious tasks.
Susan White who is the “new” Bill Kennedy is outstanding. Truly a wonderful addition to the hiring department at United!
Interview started at 2:30pm. Took the 1:30pm van from the DoubleTree. Exchange pleasantries with the other applicant in a training center building where you get your visitor badge before walking to the interview area at 2:00pm.
Logbooks are handed over, “red ink” (make changes) to your application and then you either complete the HR portion or technical skills assessment (TSA) first. Then you flip.
Done by 5:30pm. My interview was a Wednesday so I was called a week later with the CJO. The review board meets on Wednesdays to discuss the outcome for the applicants. So if you interview on Monday / Tuesday – you’ll find out that same week. If you interview Wednesday, Thursday or Friday…it’s the next week.
How long did you have your application in before you received an invite? 12 months +
Did you attend a job fair? Yes
Did you do anything special that triggered the interview invitation? Application review (Charlie Venoma with Checked and Set), job fair (Women in Aviation), and then about eleven months of constant networking.
How many internal recs did you have? 5+
How long was it from the time of your invite to the actual interview? 3 weeks
Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork? No issues however – passing on suggestions, I brought one resume and before the actual interview it was suggested that I make more than one copy. Make 3-4. Logbooks were printed with tabbed out check rides. I printed out and brought my most current application, so I could “red ink” my times accurately.
How did you prepare for the JKT/COG portion of the interview? Phone call with Matt from Cage Marshal. Recommended by DeeDee for TSA preparation.
Essentially just using procedures and practices of being a captain at my current position and transferred those skills into the TSA. Briefs, decision making, CRM, etc.
Technical Test Questions There was one that I flat out didn’t know the answer and I told the captain that. “I don’t know that answer.” Didn’t seem to be a problem, I didn’t want to throw out something out of the blue if I didn’t know 100%.
What elevation of obstacles will determine if you have mountainous vs. non-mountainous terrain clearance?
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test? See Above
Cog Test

HR Questions Tell me about yourself and how you decided that Aviation was right for you?
TMAAT you were proud of your actions as a leader?
TMAAT you influenced a crew and how?
TMAAT as your worst day as a leader?
TMAAT you had a flight and had to make a decision without all the information?
Tell me what you learned from your check ride failure?
TMAAT that you did something beyond your job description?
Why United?
I stumbled with one question – the TMAAT you had to make a decision without all the information. However, I believe I made up for and really it home with the “Why United?”
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview?
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? Cage Marshal – DeeDee
