SESSION DETAILS |
|
|
|
Interview counseling sessions
take 3 ½ to 4 hours and are scheduled for morning (0900) or afternoon
(1400) sessions. Transportation to and from the Santa Barbara Airport is
included in the $475 fee (in person) which is payable in advance by
check (allow 2 weeks lead time) or credit card (VISA/MasterCard only). Note: Interview
appointments will be confirmed for paid applicants only. Be sure to
include your credit card number and card expiration date to hold your
desired interview counseling date and time.
Telephone counseling is
available for $425 (via your telephone calls to us at a pre-arranged
time) but is not recommended due to the importance of a positive visual
impact at your upcoming interview.
We recommend you schedule
your counseling session 2 weeks prior to your interview date, if
possible. Phone, FAX and E-mail inquiries welcome.
To begin
your interview counseling, we will discuss the do's and don'ts of interviewing,
your previous interviews, if any, and their outcome. We will then continue
with a mock interview, tailored to your particular situation with special
emphasis on your answers, their delivery, completeness, and applicability.
Dress is important and we ask that you wear your "interview" suit for
your counseling session.
Our goal is to prepare you as fully as possible, while building your confidence
in your own ability to handle any situation or question which might arise.
With those goals in mind, we ask that you enclose with your completed
application copies of your airline application, your licenses and medical,
and the last 3 pages of your current logbook. Also, enclose any specific
interview questions that concern you.
The fee for our interview counseling is $475 (or $425 via telephone).
Once we receive your fee and completed paperwork we will call you to confirm
your interview counseling appointment. Please let us know your preference
for your date and time, giving several options to facilitate scheduling.
Preparation and confidence are the keys to successful interviewing. We
can help you achieve both of these goals and look forward to working with
you. |
