The HR lady came to campus on Thursday and did screening testing and interviews. The screening test was something, some of the most stupid, incomprehensible questions I've ever seen. In spite of that, out of 68, I only missed two. Later, in comparing notes with some of my classmates, I found out some of them missed in excess of 20.
As brutal as it was , I must have been on a roll that day. We had two tests in class in addition to the hiring test. I missed a grand total of 4 questions on them all. I was very pleased with myself.
I'm sure I nailed the interview too. When she came to the 'usual' last question "why should we hire you over the over applicants"? I reiterated that I was the only applicant who has experience as a paid aircraft maintainer. I have a better GPA (4.0) than any of the other applicants. I interned during Christmas break working on small aircraft. I'm the designated tutor for the students in the class year behind me. I've only missed 2 class periods (not even a full day) in the last 18 months. Or in short, the best and most qualified applicant in all respects. All in all, I pulled out all the stops and used every bit of 'cannon fodder' I had at my disposal.
I should hear something more next week. Tuesday is the rumor I heard.
