There is lots of info out there on the net that can give you a real good idea on how the interview will go. You may have already seen them. I didn't spend money on formal interview prep and after I interviewed, I was glad I didn't. Some would say it is a small price to pay and piece of mind for a multimillion dollar career, but I was comfortable doing it without it. The interview was probably the most laidback interview I have ever had. Be yourself, be personable, answer the questions with the "STAR" method and your golden. If you get the video interview and then subsequently get invited to Dallas, they've already hired you and it is yours to lose. I wouldn't waste your $600-700, but that is just my advice. This is not Delta. These interview consulting outfits are making a killing and for some guys apprehensive about interviewing, it may be worth it, but I'm here to tell you it probably isn't necessary for AA.

Anyone know if AA is interviewing the week of February 18th? If so, have invites been sent out yet?

Although I agree with Tanker Driver, IIRC Emerald Coast had (5years ago) an online or mp3 download only course that is very reasonable if you want a bit of a guidance.

Having just done the interview process, and having been a Mil only guy who hasn’t interviewed for a job since Hardware salesman at Sears back in 01, it was worth the money. Ecic has advanced significantly since an mp3 download course. There is about 10-15 hours of video and audio instruction. Additionally suported by unlimited 4 hour webinars with 10-15 other guys/gals and a mediator. The mediator that did my webinar used to do FDX hiring 3 years ago as an HR guy asking questions, and I have heard that the other mediators are similarly qualified. When AA did call I got a 90 minute one on one 3 days before the interview. If you get called by another carrier that does the SBIs you get an additional 4 hour webinar to cover that. And if you still arent confident they will give you another one on one before the interview.

My assesment: If you are a mil only guy, you need it. If you have been through a couple regional interviews and have a feel for it maybe not. Best 400$ I ever spent.

Which company is this? Emerald Coast?

Yep.

I think they raised their rates this year, but it is a lifetime membership.

How do you know if you passed/failed the organizational fit assessment in the application? Will AA tell you or are you just left waiting? Did it a few months ago and the check mark is still green if that means anything. Thanks
