ExpressJet Application Question

[pilotty]

For those of you that have applied recently to ExpressJet and got an invitation for an interview, did you cut and paste a cover letter with your resume, or just your resume in the resume spot?? Also, do you need your airmans or drivers records for the interview??

Thanks all,

Ty

I just pasted in my resume (and adjusted the formatting) - no cover letter. Here's the exact stuff they require when you got the email for the interview:

Please bring the following required items:
¨Three updated copies of your resume’ that include dates of employment
¨Flight Time Grid (See Below)
¨ALL original logbooks

¨All Pilot Licenses front and back
¨Valid First-Class Medical (with first class privileges)
¨FCC Restricted Radio-telephone Operator Permit
¨Valid Diver’s License
¨Social Security Card*
¨Valid U. S. Passport* (copy only picture page) or Valid Foreign Passport (copy only picture page) and I551 stamp, or Permanent Residence card
*If you do not have a passport or social security card, you must have one before you come to class. Please place a copy of a receipt showing you have applied for one in the stapled packet for the interview.


Note: It may be a long day, please feel free to bring snacks or you may purchase snacks from vending machines if you would like.


The following items will help you to complete the necessary paperwork. If you do not have one of these documents in time for the interview, we will give you instructions to send us the information prior to class.

**Tax & W-2 Forms: You will need tax form if one of the following applies to you:
qA business you worked at in the past 5 years is now out of business
qYou were self-employed within the past 5 years

Hey Thanks guys for the help!

What if you've only been making enough money to file returns for like 3 years? Would a big gap of like 18 years (from when I was born to 4 years ago or so) necessitate bringing my W-2s ? Also, do I need to get my ATP written finished? (This last question is probably readily available on the website, but just double checking.)
Would being a contract CFI imply being self-employed? I think it might. What if you havent been a CFI for a particular company long enough to have to file for taxes?

First and foremost... you are stressing way too much over this...

Just follow the directions exactly as you see them posted and you'll be fine. Here's some answers for you though:

1. You don't even need the tax returns for you interview unless you have unemployment gaps of 6+ months, and those gaps can't be covered by transcripts & such.
2. No... they only want a 10 year work history. If you've only worked for 3 years since you've started paying taxes... then it will only be a 3 year work history. They don't care that you did some extra curricular coursework for your hot, 9th grade, homeroom teacher, Ms. Smith.
3. No... the ATP written is not required for the interview.
4. Depends... if you are contracted to a specific school then you most likely got... or will get... a 1099 for that school. Basically... that means you were self employed... but you'll still list that schools address and contact information for them to verify.
5. Again... not an issue... the Tax Returns are only needed when there long term employment gaps.

Hope that helps!

Bob
