I sent my application then shortly after I received a call within 4-5 days after my application was submitted. During the phone call the woman was very polite and asked me if I was still interested in working for the company I said yes and she said “Great we would love to continue forward with your application process and schedule a phone interview...BUT you must first open an email that will be sent to you that will have a link to an online reference app. You must submit 5 references who need to be professional references you’ve worked with/instructors/teachers etc... those 5 references will need to complete a survey on you within 24hrs from today” (this kinda seemed a little weird to me only because I’ve never had to use an app to submit references but I did it) then she said after the references completed the survey I will be sent an addition email on when my PHONE interview will take place. The next day I received my phone interview appointment, then 3 days later I had my phone interview. It went really well the woman who interviewed me was very sweet and informative. I was asked basic questions on reciprocating engines, and how I would deal with an unsatisfied customer also why I want to work for General Atomics. It took about 20-30 mins tops. Within a few hours of my interview I received an additional email from a different person with General Atomics who wanted to set up a day and time to have an in person interview with me 1 to 2 weeks from my phone interview, he asked me to send him my schedule and available times then he will send me my “In person interview” email... so far the hiring and application process is going rather quickly.

Began with a phone call to HR with the standard questions... how much experience do you have on particular systems, previous employment, etc. A couple weeks later I had an in person interview with department managment--they were polite and professional. I was subjected to basic aviation knowledge oral questions and ran through some parts and theory on training engines. I was offered a position on the spot and started about a month later after a background investigation.
