I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pilot Flying J in Oct 2009
Interview
The interview was conducted at a hotel. I had seen an ad in Monster.com and it stated that they were conducting open interviews there. The interview went very well as I met a couple of great folks there; the HR manager and the Regional manager. It was pretty relaxed, but also remained competitive as there were plenty of others soliciting for the same position all at once sitting elbow to elbow. My advice is to simply be yourself, be confident and most importantly, be honest.

Question 1
You made more money where you were, so why do you want to come here?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Pilot Flying J (Newark, NJ) in Jul 2023
Interview
Horrible it took six interviews to get an answer, waiting for a the Vp on vacation for over than a month to make a decision! And then finally he came from a vacation interviewed me he can barely speak English, looks not interested from minute one and yawning during the interview with a smirk on his face!!!!! Then the initial recruiter was like I am sorry I have been her for only 2 month! Shame on you pilot for trying to hire Multi unit manager with this type of attitude…
Very simple after getting through the recruiter. They are eager to fill vacancies, so this is not very difficult. After the recruiter, you will interview with the hiring manager, and this is the interview that matters. This is all about connection.
