How many internal recs did you have? 3-4
How long was it from the time of your invite to the actual interview? 4 weeks
Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork? No, logbooks were turned in, and returned during the HR portion with no questions asked.
How did you prepare for the JKT/COG portion of the interview? RST and materials referenced by RST, but I had been looking over many of them for the past 12-14 months.
Technical Test Questions All of the concepts were familiar from RST subjects but only 1-2 were same/similar. I had a pretty high degree of confidence in the results of this portion.
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test? I had a crosswind question which gave the options of rwy to the left of the nose or left of nose, turn left now to land and had no idea which was correct.
Cog Test There are a few differences, mostly appearance. Overall this was an easier event than the RST practice.
Cog Math Questions I was lucky, it seemed most of mine were not terribly difficult and some you don’t even really need to do the math. If you look at the question in some cases its apparent only one could be right, ie: there are 4 more hamsters than ducks how many hamsters and ducks are there to equal 60 legs? Don’t count legs if only one answer has 4 more hamsters than ducks to begin with.
HR Questions They will tell you that they see all of the “prep school” products and they know it. They don’t want that period. I believed them and didn’t follow the structured answer model. The things the various prep programs teach are valid and I did one just like everyone else as it forces you to examine the embarrassing things that might fly out of your mouth and that has value. I did my interview prep over a year ago and that may have been in my favor. They also are very up front with the fact that the test eliminates very few and HR gets the most people knocked out either from stress and/or resorting to canned answers or not believing them and “staying on script.” They only asked me one question I had heard before and modified that to fit my experiences.
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview? 12-14 months
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? ECIC, yes, specifically the way they teach you to critically analyze the things you say before they leave your mouth… “my idiot FO…”
Any additional information you would like to add. If you study the material listed on the Delta app (which is conveniently packaged for study here) and be honest and yourself things should go well.
Is their anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process? Nope.
What can we do to improve our services? Looks pretty good to me.
Concepts not covered by RST How to deal with a HR psychologist.
