EK Recruitment
Fos,
EK recruitment is top notch. A few things perhaps you may need to consider are.
1. The training pass rate of those who are hired is very high. (DEC's not as high but still pretty good.) EK uses this a matrix on how effective their selection process is. EK gets very upset at recruiting when the failure rate exceeds the threshold. It not only costs EK $$$ but also they now have to hire ANOTHER pilot. EK recruitment tends to err on the conservative side when hiring, as they are running the numbers so tight they can not afford to lose one in training. Being able to read write and understand English is always at the top of the list, as poor English compounds issues in training.
2. Everyone has a bad day. An applicant may have simply misunderstood a question in the interview or did not give the warm fuzzy feeling to the sim guy. Also, yes even recruiters make mistakes. Everyone feels they should be hired, but not all of us are. These guys and gals process dozens of applicants a week and have been doing so for a very long time.
If you are not selected, don't take it personally (Unless you failed the personality test.) Be honest with yourself on what you could have done better, and go kick a$$ on the next interview. There are many many opportunities out there and several that are much better than EK.
ALL this is IMHO
