That's kind of surprising. well, this would normally be another weed-out step so I guess TBNT can happen at this point, but why so soon? Your score was pretty good too. I'm wondering, what DID you say? Regardless though, sorry to hear that. There'll be other chances at SW, so keep your head up.They just sent me a TBNT email after passing the test and doing the first phone/teams interview. What did I say????
I know a few guys there who Did the phone interview with one HR person, just didn't jive with them, then tried again the next posting and got a different one and got in. The good news is you nailed the test so next time you take it, you should get through again and then just have to do well with the recruiter. You got a good shot to make it happen one day from what I read.They just sent me a TBNT email after passing the test and doing the first phone/teams interview. What did I say????
Did you use the SMART interview responses? They are big on that. Also as said above, they want a certain type of personality there.They just sent me a TBNT email after passing the test and doing the first phone/teams interview. What did I say????
Did you mean the STAR interview method?
No choice. It depends on the person doing the screen, if you have an option pick what works for you. I had a pilot recruiter do mine due to the amount of applicants.
Thanks. Wow, that's interesting. How do you feel about how it went? From what others on here who have already done the phone screening, including a friend of mine (he did it by phone), I heard it was pretty basic and not too bad. I understand every recruiter is different, but just curious, did they give you any cues (i.e. demeanor, vibes, etc) as to how they felt about you at the end of the interview? Any response from them yet? How many were interviewing you?
Just a basic hr phone screen. TMAAT questions just getting to know you and why southwest appeals to you. I think it went well but no extra info on where I stand October 23-25 is when they’ll be letting people know if they move on or not
Thanks @8675309 and @Bustedcropdusta. Appreciate the info. My friend also mentioned the TMAAT questions and being prepared with questions for them. His only took about 20 min. Yeah, I think the question about why Southwest appeals to you is key. Wish me luck. Will be on Wed.
I was told the final interview is 2 parts. Both 50 mins. First is panel interview with technical questions. second is the flight plan portion. All charts and such will be provided and it is done virtually
Ok, that makes more sense. From what my recruiter said, it sounded like a manual flight plan will comprise the whole interview. She probably left out the first part of the interview. In the past, it was in person vs virtual I believe. I think the flight plan part is new though, but not sure. I wonder if by manual flight plan she means a whole entire flight plan (like we did in school and it took 2 hours to do) including figuring out enroute fuel burn and performance limitations (max weights) or if she means planning and preparing a flight release like you would do for each flight on the desk, from beginning to end (legality, weather, alt mins, landing mins, notams, fuel planning, etc etc.,) and leaving out the calculations that dispatch software normally takes care of. What do you think?
I’m expecting a condensed version of the practical. A to B, given these conditions and scenario. Build the route, probably ask questions along the way about what this means on a chart. Answer some questions about an approach plate. Etc. then probably look it over and ask why you did it what you did. My 2 cents
I think you're idea sounds about right. Maybe it leaves out having to figure out enroute fuel burn (winds aloft, FF, etc) and performance limits (MTOW, etc.), although they might throw in an MEL with performance restrictions or something.
.
Although this is my first go into the hiring process with them. I've heard they're very much a "hire for attitude, train for skill" kind of employer.
