How was it ?
I'm writing in help to newcomers, cause I was looking for most of it's information on this forum, but didn't find any help.
I've got two appointments with two companies in ME. I'll not mention their names, but it will be useful for You anyway.
I've got an e-mail after 1 month after online application with both companies with skype interview invitation.
What is there on skype interview? They're only checking Your ability to speak English and Your ability to interact with other people and sometime they can give You an information about money to expect.
Common questions were:
- Are You able to work in multicultural environment?
- What salary do You expect?
- What is Your background (short story about Your employment history with Your current duties)?
- Why did You choose our company?
- What do You expect in Your future five years?
- Did You have any command activities ? (how many persons were under You)
Speak strong, loud and don't hesitate about joking sometimes. Smile while U're speaking with them. Be positive. There is nothing to scare.
After 1 week since skype interview I've got an invitation for face-to-face interview.
They're paying for everything (air tickets, hotels, transfers, per-diems).
You need to wear suit or trousers with shirt and tie. Get well dressed, and good rest.
Commonly, You'll have an interview with one man from HR and Your future boss.
One company asked me to read METARs, TAFs and NOTAMs.
Another was the same with additional questions about ETOPS.
Don't forget to ask questions about company, Your salary, Your shifts plan, fleet size, most challenging tasks, etc.
Nothing difficult if You have experience in international charters or scheduled flights.
So, You have nothing especially to prepare before interview. Be Yourself and Good Luck!
P.S.: salary. Sure this is main question. Salary range is from 3000 to 5000 USD. Plus Housing and transport allowances (no tax).
Cheers!
P.P.S.: It is not a topic for pilots who hate dispatchers. Moderators, please check it!
