@crticalaoa you got it, anything I can do to help. Here is the email confirmation for the interview and I think that everybody that interviews receives the same confirmation so here it goes:
Hello,
Your interview is scheduled for insert date here. It will be held in our Administration building (the largest of our three buildings). After the HR portion, you will be teaching insert maneuver here. The information expected is out of the Airplane Flying Handbook including set-up, PTS and Common Errors. Plan on arriving 10-15 minutes ahead of your scheduled interview to allow time to set up for your presentation. There is a dry-erase board in the conference room that you are welcome and encouraged to use.
You will present your topic for the interview panel (2-4 people) in lecture format. They will not participate in the presentation but will listen and take notes. When you are finished, you will be asked technical questions about what you presented as well as some CFI level questions. Please bring any books (PTS, Instrument Flying Handbook, Airplane Flying Handbook, etc.) or teaching aids you feel may be useful. During the question and answer portion, you are welcome to reference your material if necessary.
Finally, you can expect to answer technical questions about an approach plate and/or brief it, then fly the approach in our simulator. If you have any questions let me know.
Thank you,
CFI Recruiting Manager

So as I mentioned (@crticalaoa) I will let you know any pertinent info, or PM me if you have any particular questions, I will be glad to pass it on.
@Crop Duster, or any body for that matter that might be curious and/or whatever. TPac is hurting for instructors but I don't think it's that bad yet. Starting salary is 28K and you move on from there, to stage check pilot, team leader and so on (not exactly sure on the hierarchy, and the length of time it takes to get there, I think the company needs dictate that, but I can let you know, once I know) The 5K is, if you read carefully, to invest on either headset, ipad, rent and or moving expenses, I don't think CFI's have it that good yet and if your planning on going to Vegas you better go before you start working as a CFI at TPac or after you are done instructing. You will be worked hard for long hours (50-55 hrs/week) from my recon work. (figure out what the hourly is on that salary...) as some may say turn and burn as fast as you can, get those hours and off you go.
The moral of the story is love aviation for the right reasons at any level, because compensation is not representative of the efforts, hours and sacrifices one might have to put in! I'm not bitchin' just sayin'
I was just having fun; no malevolent intent whatsoever. In my delirium, I did NOT read carefully... instead, was having Dr. Strangelove flashbacks... "yeehaw".

It's all you need to instruct.
