Interview Q's

[arnellis]

Hey all, Finally made it up north, im just wondering what sort of reply's would be good for this question in interviews.

"Why should I employ you over a pilot with 500/600 hours?"

and any other questions i might get asked would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

"Give me an example of a time when you let your boss down."

"Give me three words that describe you, with examples to back them up."

"Give me an example of a time you had to go outside SOPs to get the job done."

"Give me an example of a time you had to go outside SOPs to get the job done."

I have heard variations of this one being asked around the traps, one being "Give me an example of a time you had to go outside SOPs" by itself.

Just wondering what an interviewer is thinking when they ask it.

One case being, Yes, I broke an SOP to do something could mean:
-ve: Disregard for operating procedures / Cowboy attitude
+ve: Did it to avoid a crash as SOP's didn't cover the scenario

Other case being, No, Never break SOPs
+ve: Good pilot, follow the manual
-ve: Can't think outside the box / think on your feet. Blindly follow whats written.

What do you reckon??

I reckon "have never been in the situation yet where a departure from the SOPs was required" would be the best answer, but thats just my opinion, and I'm a pilot, not a recruiter, so that usually makes my answers wrong
