First interview gouge
 

Just wanted to post my gouge, as I've been mostly lurking off everyone elses here:

Most stuff on this sight is right on, unfortuntely, I had about a month and a half from career fair resume turn in to interview.

30 Question quiz highlights:

Venturi throat velocity changes??
Rhumb vs great circle
Cambered vs normal airfoil increases
Direction of wind around low/high pressure in the Northern hemi
And lots more . . .

Then to the interview, HR first:
Cordial introductions
Why Cathay
Interest in aviation
Applying w/ anyone else? Wish I'd lied on this one, as I said yes, I didn't know I was competitive initially, and they went for blood
Lots on HK and family abroad
Fleet #s - He said 'learn these'
Profit
Expand on personal experience from app

Then tech side:
So, why should we hire you if your going to leave in 6 months?? really wished I'd said I was applying with them only
DLC
Monsoons
A340 wing, lift devices, wingtips . . .
Wet runway flap setting/balanced field
Windshear procedures (current acft)
Antiice - reapply type for after delay?
May we have your firstborn

Despite me thinking I'd pretty much blown it, the HR interveiwer still went into a detailed explanation of how to follow up and what happens at the 2nd interview, not just thanks but no thanks, so maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. We'll see.

Hope this helps, good luck
