Default Re: AIRLINE GOUGES which one?

As someone who recently went through the interview process here's my advice...

Study for the process more than studying for a particular airline gouge. Certainly you should read the gouges but I would do that only after you have spent considerable time preparing for a generic interview. You will be a lot better off and a lot better prepared for anything that comes up. The people doing the interviewing can sniff out canned answers faster than you think. If you come across as prepared but honest and sincere you will perform much better.

I do however feel that gouges are particularly helpful with the technical portion of the interview. It helps to narrow the field a bit.

I would check out a book called "Checklist For Success" by Cheryl Cage. It will help organize preparation for HR questions which seem to be the ones pilots have the most difficulty with. If it's a interview you REALLY want then look into some interview prep. It's a bit expensive, around $250, but a mock interview with someone who knows what they're doing is worth far more than that in my opinion. There are a few aviation specific ones out there like Cage Consulting and Emrald Coast. Good luck!
