To reply to Ted6016's remark of why programs may
elect to hire certain candidates with fewer experience over himself, or less
certification requirements there are perhaps many reasons, and being turned away
the first or second time should not be entirely discouraging. In my own
search and discussion with a few programs, I have found there are simply
logistical considerations not readily apparent to applicants. If you are
applying out of state, you may not get selected for issues arising out of
relocation matters. A long distance interview can be financially burdening
for the applicant to travel to, or for the program to offer the cost of. I
am aware of some programs utilizing subjective psychological profiling during
interviews and perhaps pervious flight experience is not as desirable for some
programs as they may desire inexperience to better train a new employee
without inheriting "bad habits". I would encourage anyone applying for
flight positions to be patient, as it may take some time and repeat applications
to land the job you hope to acquire.
