Default Interview Prep: EC or new guys, Spitfire?

Had used EC in the past for previous airline and was only sorta impressed. The SBI for that one didn’t sound as intensive as FedEx but I hear it’s a must for the FedEx day 2. Just curious if anyone us had experience or heard of anyone using Spitfire? I guess they were EC employees who quit and started their own Interview Prep.

I used spitfire and I can't recommend them enough. I was extremely well prepared. I have a friend who used both ECIC and Spitfire and they were really glad they decided to use Spitfire and not just ECIC. Their formula for the SBI is pretty bulletproof.

Spitfire is solid, especially their SBI prep. HR prep webinars are smaller groups (10-15 people) than ECIC (30+), so you get more attention and reps practicing your answers.

Hmm, a new interview prep service. The skeptic in me sees this thread as an advertisement for the service as the thread starter and the two respondents are all very new to APC.

I assure you I’m not. I just realalized my EC is still active so I’ll be sticking with that. Appreciate all the feedback.

Had a few friends use Spitefire in the last few months. All good comments about the service. One of the owners is a FedEx guy.

I used spitfire to prep for a SWA interview. Their program is very professional and effective. It’s not a canned response, they teach you how to give an authentic answer that also presents you in the best light. They have a series of videos that are really valuable, and the live stuff is great.

Just went through the FedEx interview a few weeks ago and received a CJO. Bottom line is they really want to see your true self and they can sense canned responses as they’ve heard it all. Just be you and you will be fine. They want you to succeed.

With that being said and for perspective, I used ECIC and was very impressed with their product. Their SBI prep was fantastic. I went through several of the “cargo CRM” seminars and felt prepped. Also, their “rapid fire sessions” I thought were very effective. I never had more than 10 or so people on a webinar all at once. I did several rapid fire sessions and I think on average there were maybe only 5 of us. Plenty of hot seat time to get a lot of great feedback from not only the HR counselor but your peers as well.

Good Luck!

Just finished with spitfire elite and can not recommend them enough! They have a full staff ready and prepared to get you interview prep ready. I felt calm and secure in my answers during my interview and even knew how to tackle the few curve balls thrown my way during the interview. I know that my confidence was a direct result of my prep through Spitfire. The coaches are either military and or flying for The majors. You won’t be disappointed.
