Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help?	I used RST Hogan prep which greatly helped. No other service or prep other than practicing questions with pilots at other airlines and UPS. Did a mock zoom interview with a friend at UPS a few days prior. Practiced interview questions with my wife who works in HR and reviewed posts on FB group. Read Big Brown twice and also how to ace your UPS interview.
