General Overview of Experience Very easy going process, they definitely make you feel at home. it is a bit nerve wrecking being around 15-20 other great candidates . easy and streamlined process. Was in at 9am out the door by 2:30pm
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? Job Fairs, I would suggest making them a priority and really doing your homework even before the job fair. I was asked what the core values and why JB-all at the job fair.
How many internal recs did you have? 1-2
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 issues. I spent a lot of time organizing all the paperwork in order which they seemed to like. I separated them in different folders which didn’t really matter as they have their own way of keeping it all together. definitely attach it in the order they request it.
How did you prepare for the JKT/COG portion of the interview? I used emerald coast consulting. they were really good and they WANT you to succeed. but you have to put your time in it. I did 3 online seminars with them to be confident and learn, but again I’m a slower learner then an average Joe.
Technical Test Questions none
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test? TMAAT you were out on a layover with another crew member and you learned something about them( or by being around them) that changed your opinion about something?
Cog Test On the computer testing phase of the interview took about 1:30 to 2 hours. they are distributed with patterns, numbers, basic algebra math, flying a simulator jet with a joystick. they tell you that this test is made to push your limit. they also told us that they WILL be using it to make a decision. out of 1-10 on the hard scale I would rate it about a 6.45, its not difficult just very demanding with time and amount of work to be done within that time.
Cog Math Questions Basic Algebra math test timed 10 seconds each and about 15 of them at random.
HR Questions Why JB?
One negative and positive thing about your current job?
what is culture to you?
TMAAT you went out of your way for someone?
TMAAT you made a decision that you instantly regretted?
TMAAT you used the core values of JB?
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview? 4 weeks
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? Emerald Coast and very helpfull!
Any additional information you would like to add. Very easy going day: have your paperwork ALL filled out and in order, they do your fingerprints then they take you back to the conference room where we met with multiple chief pilots who were vey welcoming. we asked question drank coffee and had a light snack. We also dropped off our logbooks once we entered the room, which we then later collected end of day. our names were called and we were taken for the initial interview where we were interviewed by 2 JB employees, one was a pilot other was inflight. took about 30 mins. we were then taken upstairs to one of the other conference rooms for the HR portion with a chief pilot and a HR rep, they explained how the process works and what to expect next. here I was also asked “anything you would like to disclose?” why JB and that was about 10 mins.
we went back and were taken in groups to do a quick facility tour and then to the computer testing which took about 2 hours max. there is nothing you can study for except look over your basic algebra work. I used luminosity to open up the kind of thinking for the cog part and it seemed to help. the final portion is the joystick flying airplane; theres nothing you can study for but my technique was just use 2 fingers to barely move it and seemed to be more stable. we were then asked if we wanted to stay and ask more questions or we were free to leave. got a welcome to PHASE 2 email about 5 days after.
Is their anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process? I could’ve been more relaxed, but its an interview you have to be on your best game
