Hi peoples! Good luck!
I hit a recruiter up at this party we had on Friday and asked what were the things that they looked for in candidates. This person had the following high up on their list:
Well Groomed
Great Smile
An 'at home' sort of vibe
Balanced Personality
Worldly
Passion for the job that people can see through not what you say or do but how you say or do it. Subtle enthusiasm over hyperactivity (which is how some people come across).
They also said that anyone that got through would have to have "shined" during interviews. I don't know what that means.... Perhaps wear glossy foundation or really bright clothes. Maybe bring a torch. Heaven forbid I work in recruiting!!!
Oh and research all about the 717 and Impulse as a company. ie. They started as a newspaper forwarder for Fairfax and consumed Oxley Airlines, which was founded in 1983. The Boeing site has some great info about the 717. I don't mean statistics or fuel burn ratios but stuff like the 2-3 seating config and Easy-Fit overhead lockers and handrails that light up at night....
**They will ask you what you know about the 717 and Impulse as a company so be prepared.**
About the 717:

(some of the info doesn't relate to Impulse 717s but you get the idea)

Hope that helps kids.
