Q&A With Icarus Jet Employees

It was very comfortable and easy going.

Much better than I could have imagined. The team is truly like a family and has allowed me not only to grow as a professional, but also an individual.

My interview was truly laid back. Very easy to speak with the interviewer and get excited about the industry and the companies potential.

3 days in the office and 3 days from home with one hard day off.

We are an international company so not always is everyone in the office. With access to internet and a computer you can work remote or from home (as I have done on occasion), but it is encouraged to work at the office as much as possible as it great for communication and rapport with your colleagues.

You are able to work from home very easily. But, on weekdays you must come to the office. In the industry you are working 24/7.

Private jet charter. Trip-support and jet fuel are not doing so well.

Private jet charter. Difficulties is getting organic clients right now

Apply via email, call or walk in.

Show your desire and willingness to learn and be apart of the company. Be honest with yourself about what you truly want and work hard with the help of your colleagues to improve yourself each day and get better at the job

The aviation industry never sleeps, and sales is a demanding job which can be stressful at times

I wish I would've known how stressful the job can become and how fast. One second during the day it is very slow and the next you are full speed ahead. But even though you must work fast, you must do so with a clear and focused mind.

My 2 interviews took maybe 30 minutes to an hour each

The interview can last anywhere from 1 to 2 hours

The most difficult question were probably those pertaining to knowledge about the aviation industry, and the job requirements as I had little to no knowledge or experience in the industry at that point.

The most difficult question asked was how I would cope with a sales job when I previously had no sales experience.

Smart casual business attire

Business casual clothing

I met with the President/Owner Kevin Singh. I received feedback the next day along with another interview later that week, and was officially hired a couple days after that. It was a relatively quick and straightforward process.

The president and CEO at Icarus Jet. He told me that day that I had the Job.

It was probably the most serious in terms of the job, but also the most relaxed an informal in regards to the whole process.

Definitely one of the more relaxed interview I have had. There was no tension or awkwardness because of the vide I had with the interviewer.

Questions pertaining to education, background, experience, salary expectations, and personality questions are most common.

Do you have any sales experience? Tell me about yourself? What are your greatest strengths/weaknesses?

As it is the aviation industry, there is always something going on. But being able to work anywhere as long as you have internet is a plus and makes working flexible. Also having an international team allows us to take over for each other at different points in the day.

In this industry of private jet charter, you are constantly working. There is not necessarily a set schedule of when to work and when not to work.

Be honest, sincere, and forthcoming. Be confident and direct with what your hopes, expectations, concerns and questions are. Just like interview, let us know what you can bring to table and why you would be a great asset for Icarus Jet.

Be yourself. Tell a story that can help relate yourself, in someway, to the interviewer. Act in a professional manor and know that this job is not a cake walk all the time. It is very versatile and very stressful, and you must be able to cope with it. Understand that some nights you won't sleep

The internship program at Icarus Jet is a very hand-on and intuitive experience. In a short period of time you will gain incredible knowledge into the aviation and charter industry. At the same time you will gain valuable career, networking, and business experience. There is work to be done, I'll say that. This is more like an actual job than an internship, and the pay is great. The team is very close knit and are supportive and helpful. We are an international company so you will get experience in dealing with clients and colleagues from all over the world. I can truly say that I could not have had a better internship experience than I did at Icarus Jet.

When I first joined, I was very eager to learn the business and be apart of this company. Regardless of my eagerness, I quickly realized I was asked to do things that I had no idea how to do and there was no clear guidance to learning procedures. Regardless of there not being a clear procedure or guide to the business, I was able to pick up on protocols fairly quickly. This job can become very stressful very quickly and I do not believe that upper management made that any better. We all know the stress of this business, but additional stress and tension from upper management do not make it any better. It causes mistakes to be made and minds to be flustered. I have seen other operations work, and it is not like this. However, I do believe that I have the support of upper management on the things that I do. Sometimes, I do not feel that I am free to say what I think when I disagree with upper management because I know how they will react.

There are no 401K or medical insurance.

It responds well, we are a small company with 17 employees spread across 4 continents. It can be difficult to get the HR to pay attention at all times.

The opportunities to travel, gain international business experience, and earn a good amount of money.

Can be fast paced at time, but always a good vibe. Especially when everyone is at the office.

Diverse group of individuals, all very knowledgeable in their specific area. All very nice and friendly, I've never had issue with anyone while working here.

It will start with a phone/Skype interview which will proceed to a formal in person interview. You will typically get feedback and know the decision after the second interview

Networking and growth opportunities. Also opportunity to travel internationally for business

Tough to say as I truly like the culture here. Maybe just more guidelines and direction in how we operate and what all our job requirements are.

Genuinely like him, and we are all on great terms with him constantly communicating and often engaging in friendly conversation. They are a good leader and figure head, but can improve some impulsiveness and levelheadedness

It can be a little unbalanced at times and get some getting used, mostly because of how the industry operates constantly. You have to work on it to get a good balance, but it is definitely possible. We stress the importance of balancing yourself as the opposite is unhealthy and will negatively affect your job performance and morale.

I cant speak too much to that as it is managements decision, but I would say it is determined by your performance and attitude mostly
