Just sat through a lengthy interview. Was already going well.....started at 4.30pm and around 6 the fella says "Another coffee or shall we go over the road to the bar?"
ok.
Got to the pub and I pulled out the cigarette pack......my zippo has a nice pic of a spitfire on it, matey boy who's interviewing me spots it and immediately gets all interested and ask's about it. When I get to the point of mentioning Aces High (off handedly so he doesnt notice and doesnt think I'm a dweeb gaming addict) his eyes light up even more and we spend the next 90 mins talking about ACM, flight ops and how he can't hit a thing in IL2.
And I'm back for a second interview with the MD later this week.
:D

Good, but there might already be a clue you were in luck when he suggested going for a drink????
-

Edit: Translated for Cpxxx

Good things happen because of Aces High...it's true.
I've met some lifelong friends...Swoop being one...and got the deal of the century on a house, all directly related to flying an internet flight sim.
:aok

That'd be funny to put AH on a job resume to see what came of it. Maybe something like:
2001-2005, pilot, Aces High.
:)
Would be funny I think when the interviewer asks what Aces High pilot means.
-
What would be even funnier. He asked what your CPID is u tell him ...he thinks for a moment then its "your a vulchin, cherry picken HO dweeb!!!"
I'm sorry but it appears your not qualified for the job....NEXT!:rofl

BTW the above post isnt meant to imply that your a vulching, cherry picking HO dweeb swoop. Just a hypothetical generic what if type thing

Just remember if you get him involved in AH to make sure you on the same side.
Or you job may end up short lived LOL
-
Did he treat you like a lady?
-
if you put Aces High in your resume HTC will be required to provide your stats for the past 2 years.
You vulchers really want to pork your chances to get hired that way?
Sheesh people THINK.
-
hell, vulching inflates the score :) Vulch away. I'm putting that on my resume.
-
I was getting a resume proffesionally made up for me and was asked if I had any management experience, to which I replied...'Yes, for the past five years I have headed an international organisation, coordinating the activities of individuals in seven differant countries, using the internet as a comunications network.'
They were impressed. When I mentioned that it was nothing really, and that I actually did that kind of thing for a hobby and didn't consider it to be work at all, and therefore they probably shouldn't take it into account, they were utterly stunned :)
Pressed for further information, I spilled the beans about the 'International Organisation' and how it was actually my squad in an online flightsim, and was told that allthough it was probably unwise to use the wording I had, it was valuable experience, and I should definately mention it.....I just laughed and said "You've never played an online flightsim have you?"
If you could make money out of talking bull**** to your mates and online flying, we'd all be rich.
-
actually, much of business is talking bollocks, and if you've been involved in commanding a scenario, you've had the opportunity to learn a lot about how to manage people and technology to achieve your objectives.

Good story and good luck!
