Re: Hiring Logistics of Flight Programs

[<mikeshuken@mail.value.net>]

Here's a good tip: Try calling the service that didn't hire you and ask
why.  Don't ask, "Why did you hire someone else" but say, "Is there a
specific reason I didn't get hired?"  Let them know you are interested in
improving yourself in order to become a better qualified candidate.  Ask
them specifically what you would need to do to get hired next time.  Talk
to one of the managers themselves instead of one of the flight crew
members - even if it was a flight crew member that interviewed you.  There
is no guarantee that they will hire you next time either, but I would bet
that you will get some advice on ways to improve your desirability as a
potential new hire.  And like the last poster stated, try not to get
discouraged - It's an extremely competitive job position (some people say
for every one flight medic position there are 100 candidates).  It often
takes more than one or two interviews to get hired...
Good luck,
