Question
Mr. Newmyer,

I am currently a sophmore at middle tennessee state university majoring in aerospace.  I just recently was offered a interview opportunity with NetJets Aviation for a summer internship.  Problem is that i have no clue of what to expect when the interview comes around.  No one can answer this question for me.  Do you have any idea of what kind of questions i can expect to hear?  Thanks for your help.

Answer
HI,

Congratulations on the interview opportunity with NetJets Aviation!  This will be an important interview for you....

I think that the main thing that they will be looking for in the interview is to get to know a little bit about you in terms of how you communicate, your attidutes toward work and how your are doing in school so far.  They also will likely ask questions that will probe how much you know about their company (meaning, NetJets Aviation), so, do some company research into NetJets and into fractional ownership companies in general (so that you know who their major competitors are, etc).

Good luck with the interview,
