General Overview of Experience	I really enjoyed just about everyone of the folks I encountered during the process. Amy, Kim, and John do an awesome job of helping you settled in prior to meeting the rest of the facilitators/interviewers.
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?	Was told it was due to long term application that had been continuously updated.
How many internal recs did you have?	1-2
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?	Nope.
How did you prepare for the JKT/COG portion of the interview?	RST, EEftPP.
Technical Test Questions	Really nothing too tricky. Lots of the typical aerodynamics, properties of air, and little bit of math. Minimal engineering/turbine and electrical system questions( 2 on engine, 1-2 electrical) what is a stopway. Instrument runway what color last 1000ft
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	Honestly none of them were tough if you really prepared for the concepts. There were very few questions with identical wording to RST but the formula was similar enough with a solid understanding it wouldn’t matter.
Cog Test	A joke, thanks.
Cog Math Questions	None I remember, but they cycle slightly slower than RST. It helped me to start at the last couple lines before the answers to get an idea of what was important.
HR Questions	I had Steve and Kent during the panel. Steve was warm and welcoming. Kent was pretty stonefaced and ambivilant. The panel seemed liked it went well. Most of the interview was purely conversational. I felt more like talking with older guys at a mixer/social gathering than an interview. They used hobbies as the transition point to turn the conversation more serious. I.e. How do you deal with fatigue, and this job can be tough to take care of yourself (i.e. invitation to talk about stress and fitness for duty, and fatigue again). That really was a big focus. I got really 1-2 true TMAAT Tmaat a time you had an FO you really had to watch, why and what happend? The 1 WWYD I got was really strange. Lost comm situation on a visual approach missed. Nothing seemed to rectify the situation, pointed you toward landing without clearance there or bugging out and going somewhere else. Very strange.
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview?	25days
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help?	FAPA and ECIC
Any additional information you would like to add.	No
Is their anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process?	It might have been nice to do an in-person prep vs online, but I felt prepared. I doubt the result would have been different.
