I disagree with the notion that there is no luck and here is an example. When I was out of the flight school and looking for that first job I applied to all the jobs I could find, including Ryanair.
Ryanair invited all the guys from my class to the interview stage except me. I don't know why Ryanair didn't invite me, I passed all the ATPL exams with a high average and first pass on all the skill tests. I put that down to being unlucky. Last summer, 5 years later Ryanair did send me an email to ask me if I am still interested hahahah
Also a very good airline sent me an invite to an interview but their email went to my span folder and I saw it only after a week later when they sent me another email to tell me that all the dates were fully booked and that they will contact me some other time but they never did.
