What’s the point system? Or how many points you need to pass?

It’s generally accepted that they ‘score’ your resume based on traits that they think are desirable. I imagine there will be little more than speculation on the forum but it appears that things like level of education, experience, bilingual, maybe ex-military, etc. will all contribute to scoring higher on your application. Those scored files are then placed in order and when they need to hire someone they draw from the top. I have reason to believe that they also plan out a range of scores for each groundschool so that they don’t hire all the geniuses today and work their way down to the idiots next year.
