Interview experience:
Don't have too much more to add. Most info below seems accurate.
Day 1: Most of the pilot recruiting department seems to be run by retired ASA captains. Laid back, friendly guys. Just be very professional, polite, friendly and know your stuff for the technical interview. They really emphasize having glass cockpit experience.
Application: Make it as complete and accurate as possible. Full disclosure. Make sure everything is signed/dated correctly. This will make things go more smoothly during the interview.
Tabular Test: Work as efficiently as possible and you should be okay. What makes it difficult is that there are so many numbers squeezed together on both the question sheet and the matrix that it becomes hard to switch back and forth between the two.
Interview: Mine covered mostly Jepp charts/plates, airspace, multi-engine, decision scenarios, application review (see suggestion above). Nothing you wouldn't expect in a decent Instrument or Multi-Engine rating oral practical exam.
Simulator: Power was easier to manage than I expected. Use the airspeed trend vector. But pitch and trim was harder than I expected. I found it very difficult to get a good feeling for the trim. Toward the end, I didn't even bother using it much. Use that IVSI, especially in turns, leveling off after a climb and during the ILS. Take good notes on Day 1 and chair fly it in your hotel room the night before. They seem to discourage relying on specific power settings (which all seem to be around 60%) and want you to manage power to the airspeed trend vector.
HR Interview: Just be candid and professional. Would help to already have some thoughts in your head regarding the typical HR questions (What are your best traits? Worst? Etc.)
Good luck. Can't wait to start. ASA seems like a top-notch organization.
