First Corporate Interview

Zero technical questions. The only resemblence of one is "What if you are with a captain and he blows minimums on an ILS because he has shot the approach hundreds of times. What do you do?"

That's what I thought...Zero technical questions on mine either. I really hope you get it!

How do you feel you performed on the flight? Strong on the radios/approaches, good conversation in the cockpit?
 
During my interview (a bit late, sorry) I was asked the usual Why "xxy Aviation", how did your past jobs prepare you to be a pilot today. (both were non aviation related that they were interested in) and a few other about me questions.

I had a technical portion that involved approach plates, and dissecting notmas and metars and tafs. Very surface based stuff, none too deep.

I also had that same question thrown at me on the interview, and I did the cookie cutter answer of "I would get on the radio and announce to tower that XXY was going missed".
 
I had no technical questions asked, nor did I do a flight evaluation. I submitted my resume to the owners aviation consultant, and I guess he figured that since I had King Air school/PIC time, I knew what I was doing...My interview was about 15 minutes of the owner, and it was nothing more than a friendly chat. The owner told me about his life, family, job etc, and I shared the same with him.

Easiest interview yet!
 
Congrats! Have fun and enjoy. It sounds like they had their mind made up prior to the interview and the owner wanted to see if liked you personally

Have fun and enjoy.

CONGRATS!!!!:clap:
So how did you answer the mins question?

I told him that the mins should have been established before the approach even started. He than re-phrased it as "You are in the hangar after it happened, what do you say?" That made it a pretty simple question...Not sure if those are the right answers but they worked.
