Never got that far..
To be honest, at the moment, I'm kind of shocked how little I have received in the ways of callbacks or interviews. 50+ jobs with 35+ companies applied to, plus profiles on Monster, Career Builder, Clearance Jobs, TechExpo, etc. Engineer with a TS/SCI.
Call from an Industrial Engineering Consulting place in CA 2 weeks back or so.. Was supposed to contact me on Wed/Thursday to arrange a test/phone interview.. No contact since. I called them on Thursday. No return call.
GE called/emailed me about a job, they were interested to interview, but need to fill the job before I can go on Terminal Leave.
Caterpillar is flying me to Peoria on Thursday for an interview at their expense. I had a resume in their job bank, but this was a different job in a different location. So far, they have been awesome to deal with.
That's it as far as jobs, no sniffs/bites otherwise. Hell, I even applied to a couple jobs that had REAL SPECIFIC needs for my skills (clearance, E-2C hours, current/recent NATOPS qual, FCP) and not even a "thanks for applying" email back.
At this point, I've about given up on flying jobs. I just don't have the PIC mins for FW stuff, and the RW jobs seem to want higher total than I have.
Either the economy really, REALLY sucks, or my resume has a picture of me with a dick growing out of my forehead that only employers can see.
