>finally some advice from the ex-chairman of boots sir james blyth.
"i never employ anyone until i have looked in their car to see how tidy minded they are!<

This is more true than you may think.

Any answers which you give to questions which are not related to the job will be read across to how you will behave in the job.

For example, let's say they ask you how tidy your house is. If you reply (honestly) that it's a tip, it will be assumed that you will be untidy on the flight deck etc. I don't necessarily subscribe to this assumption - some of the best pilots I have flown with have been totally disorganised in their life outside the job!

So be a little economical with the truth if you are asked this type of question.

My other bit of advice is to be YOU. There is, IMHO, too much pseudo-babble about how to pass an interview.
