Who's been hired? [New Employer Can ID You!]
#1181
John Carr, love the "USUALLY"! You are correct in your statement. Good stuff.
"Usually", airlines at the fairs will score your resume after you speak with them, then take them back to their respective recruiting offices and sort through them. Every airline is different on how they treat their process before, during and after job fairs and the weight they hold.
I've heard of calls going out after fairs ranging from all sorts of time frames.

Not saying it is right, but if you are doing the hiring, you select the person you want usually based on past experiences

Hence the reason for a broad range of backgrounds.
From a 20+ year retired mil IP/EP/Standeval/NATOPS safety person/10-15 year RJ LCA/10-15 year heavy/ACMI pilot all the way down to the 2000 hour RJ pilot/guar-reserve "baby" with minimum time that was well connected enough to get an interview and whatever lies in between. Although for right here, and right now, the latter is in the minority of ANY new hire class at (insert airline here). Their experience was deemed enough.
Experiences simply get one to the interview. AFTER that, it's on the candidate to sell themselves.

Not exactly. They hire the people that interviewed well, conformed to their targeted selection, and think they will be a good fit for their company.

Thats true. But getting to the interview for most regional pilots is extremely difficult. We are already doing the job with the paint on the side of the plane and carrying "majors" passengers. But then suddenly we arent good enough to actually fly the "majors" plane.
Ita a joke.

It's simply a matter of making oneself stand out in that tallest silo of candidates.
