I was rejected.

About me: 23, A-levels, 1st Class Hons degree in Aerospace Engineering, Merit for MSc Masters in Aeronautics, both of which were from top 5 Uk universities, In first year of PhD, approx 20 hours flying, spent a long time on psychometric questions - believe I did a fairly good job on them,

Why I didn't get even past the initial screening?

-Lack of work experience? I am 23 and have spent all my time in university with a handful of part time jobs such as working at the universities in varying capacities, bar work etc

-Not enough flying experience? It could be this, but it sounds like from the brief given on the website that this is not required, so this should be irrelevant. Maybe they thought it showed a lack of interest in the job.

-Psychometric/multiple choice were not up to scratch? Even after reading them again I think i have given good examples where I have demonstrated leadership, teamwork etc
FrankMatt, perhaps your 'superior' attitude put them off?
