Dear friends and followers, and especially flight students, welcome back to my channel, today´s video will give you some vital advice on how to approach the airline assessment. The assessment excludes the screening (flying in the simulator), that´s a whole other video. Today we´ll primarily concentrate on the applying and assessment part.
I´ll cover some basic topics on how to apply to an airline, what psychometric test look like and what questions to expect during the interview part of the assessment. Also, I´ll briefly mention what it´s all about in the group exercise.
Please make some notes whilst watching this video, as it will help you prepare for your airline assessment. This video is for both, pilot cadets and ready-entry pilots, with the exception there are lesser aviation theory question if you apply as a cadet. But please be aware this can vary from country to country and airline. But in general, if you stick to my 10 hacks, you´ll know what the do´s and don´ts are in preparation for your assessment.

I personally know the Skytest boys and I highly recommend to check out their website and software. The have aptitude and psychometric tests for various airlines. With their software I´ve never failed any of the those fierce tests.

Thanks for watching, see you next week.
All the best your "Captain" Joe

Also remember, the most important key to an interview is the last part when the interviewer asks if you have any question(s)
! Do pre-plan and have a few questions ready that make sense. Questions like " Where the company see's itself in 5 years" or " How can you as an individual contribute effectively, to the companies goals" are effective questions over questions that solely relate only to your personal gain and progress in the company. This helps you end strong at the interview and usually leaves the team pondering on how effective a person you are based on the quality of your questions to them. Make sure you do not ask obvious questions like destinations they fly to or fleet as that would be considered lack of preparation.

Ok here goes my advice about airline assessments:

Be yourself. It does not make any sense to act like someone you would like to be or who you would think the people like you to be.
A mature, reflected candidate is not supposed to be a perfect person. No, being reflected means you are well aware of your weaknesses as well as your strengths. A good pilot knows exactly who he is, he knows his strengths but also weaknesses.
Don't come up with weaknesses that are not really weaknesses such as "I'm a perfectionist" or "I work too hard". Be honest and show evidence that you really reflected upon your personality and that it matches the criteria for an airline pilot.

You may also encounter certain cooperation skill assessments where you will work with other candidates on a challenging task. They want to see how adaptable you are within your own personality regarding certain positions. So let's say you're a very dominant type who likes to be in charge. Then it's very likely that you will be given a task where you'll have to take orders from someone. Vice versa, let's assume you're someone who is more submissive.Then they might want to see that you are able to take responsibility and be in charge.

So, let's say your weakness is that you're not a morning person. Consider that as a pilot it's very likely you will have to get up very early. Then consider how you're going to approach this. Being aware of this weakness, you know that on morning flights you have to be extra cautious. Don't be ashamed to tell your captain that you're still tired and you rather want to double-check certain things. Of course you shouldn't be tired on every early-morning flight, and you should show effort in working on it. But a weakness such as "not being a morning person"? That's human.

Just to give you an example.

I had my air traffic control assessment/interview last month and it is very similar to what you are describing. I know it's a cliche but just be yourself and you enthusiasm will shine through. The best piece of advice I was given was that the assessors want you to do well and want to hire you, they are just trying to get all the relevant information out of you to show that you have the specific desire, attitude and skills to take the job on. Anyway I got the ATC job and start soon I'm really exited....

I was recently successful in an interview at my flag carrier so I can offer a few tips.

The main goal of the interview is not to judge your technical competency since the only reason you're at the interview in the first place is because you passed various assessments. What they look for is confidence, and the ability to communicate. So be sure to get some help to develop your interview skills before you go for it. And you should prepare for the usual questions like "Tell us about yourself" or "why this airline" etc.

Lastly, there is a very helpful book called Ace Pilot Technical (if I'm not mistaken), and its a compilation of questions and answers categorized by topic. Very useful for preparing for the technical part of your interview.

I just passed my 'safety critical' tests to become a train conductor (in the uk) a couple of months back and you're concentration tests look very, very similar!

The best way to prepare for a test is to study hard and have confidence. Without confidence you'll forgot what u studied for. Good luck to all the people who are preparing for an assignment.

Hi Joe,  
Great advice for all the student pilots. The only advice I have to reinforce what you said is the five P's.
- Prior 
- Preparation
- Prevents 
- Poor 
- Performance

Thanks.

I have an assessment on Monday, I'm already through the first phase so I'm excited to see if I will pass the psychological tests!

Joe I think several of your hacks are excellent points EVERYONE should take note of for any job interview. Thanks for sharing! It's amazing how far doing a little reasearch about a company in preparing for an interview can go... and how poorly things can go if you don't do your research. I say from personal experience...

What a brilliant video. Just about all of it (save specific aviation knowledge testing) applies to most other fields, too. Anyone with a recruiting scenario in their future, be it in aviation, engineering, medicine, law, finance, etc, should pay close attention to this video, as they will certainly benefit from its teachings. Well done, sir.

I reached a senior position in an organisation not related to aviation. I sat on many selection interviews and the most memorable one occurred at 2.00pm just after the lunch break. The candidate entered the room, sat down on the chair and promptly fell off. My colleagues and I jumped up and got him reseated. it turned out that he had gone to the pub in the morning to calm his nerves before the interview and in short ... was drunk.

Needless to say he didn't get the post.

They asked me if i had a degree in theoretical physics, I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. Needless to say, I was hired.
