General Overview of Experience	Very welcoming experience from the moment I checked in at the airport. The gouge on American is spot-on…there were no surprises. Success rate seems quite high once you get the face-to-face interview. Only 1 individual that I know of out of our interview group of 17 did not get the job and it sounds like that was due to not disclosing a checkride failure.

Did you attend a job fair?	No
Did you do anything special that triggered the interview invitation?	No, just kept updating my apps every 2 weeks or so.
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?	None. Just bring what they ask. Didn’t do a fancy logbook summary or anything and I don’t believe it’s necessary.
How did you prepare for the JKT/COG portion of the interview?	I would recommend not wasting ANY time trying to prepare for the COG test. I don’t think it has any bearing on your success at the interview.
