A lot of pilots are afraid to admit they prepared for their airline interview. They think it makes them look rehearsed, scripted, less authentic. That belief is a myth, and it's costing candidates jobs.
In this video, Guillaume Debauchez (former British Airways pilot, Emirates captain and major airline recruiter) explains why you should not only admit you prepared, but be proud of it: airlines want pilots who prepare for everything, and preparation is not the opposite of authenticity, it's the foundation of it. He also breaks down exactly what to say when the recruiter asks how you prepared, from the STAR method and your experience sheet to airline research that goes far beyond the annual report.
If an airline interview is anywhere on your horizon, this will change how you think about preparation.
