For this specific role at Gulfstream, we seek to hire only those with aerospace experience. Are you more experienced in the private or public aerospace industry?
Gulfstream works to shape the future of business aviation. The interviewer would like to see that you have experience in the industry; whether your aerospace experience comes from private or public entities.
"I noticed in your job posting that you prefer to see experience in the public aerospace sector. I do have experience in both public and private; however, the most recent three years of my work experience is in the public sector working on advanced landing systems."
"I worked for an aerospace and defense contractor for the last 6 years and I have equal experience in both public and private aerospace matters. Is there a specific sector where you would prefer to see stronger experience? I would be happy to highlight that experience for you, further."
Walk your interviewer through your experience in each sector at a high level and include the amount of time you have worked in each. If time permits, you can briefly discuss the types of aircraft or systems you have worked with as well as any applicable technologies you've used.
It is critical to approach answering experience-related questions authentically. The HR department at Gulfstream will verify your previous employment and any inconsistencies in your response are likely to exclude you from receiving an offer from Gulfstream.
