Hey guys,
I am looking to turn in my first airline app and need to make a resume. Where do I start and do you guys know anywhere that I can find a few resumes to get ideas for my layout? This will be the first resume I have ever made. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks! |

Might wana look at some serious experiance building. |

Google targeted resume. As for flying resumes you can probably find some good ones online, if you search around. That airline pilot forum is probably good for that.
For the most part getting an interview is usually because you know someone there and they recommended you, not how well your resume was written. If you're applying to a posting and you don't have an "in" I would say you have pretty low chances of even getting an interview, especially if you just barely meet their minimums. But hey, you never know unless you try. |

Name, address, phone, email
Goal: To achieve a position...blah blah Times: Total, multi, single, turbine, jet, instrument. Prior employment...at this stage, anything aviation related. Education. Leave high school off Other...show em you are well rounded...Eagle Scout, volunteer activities, etc Keep it one page. I'll pm you my resume...If you can find me a job...BONUS ARFCOM Bucks for you. ka |

It's been a long time since I applied for an airline job (20 years  ), so take anything I say with a grain of salt. Times certainly change, but this is not the way things used to be. All that was necessary back then, was to contact the airline, and request one of their application packages. You would fill it out, and return it, along with your resume'. If the airline was hiring, and you met the minimum requirements, you would likely get a call for an interview. A letter of recommendation might be helpful, but was certainly not necessary (I didn't have one, and got hired sooner than many guys who did...go figure).
Good luck with the job hunt! |

The KingAirPilot guide to a successful interview
Get HIM to write a letter of recommendation. If he is one of the good guys in the company (and chief pilots know who they are) it will carry weight. Get HIM to bug the HR people (or the unpaid intern doing HR's job) to pull your file. Get HIM to tell the chief pilot about this wonderful guy (YOU) who can't wait to come work for the company. Insiders always have an inside track...pun intended. As to resume paper...get the good stuff, not whatever the copy machine at the library has. At some point you WILL hand someone a paper copy and you want them going "it's soft like butter" in their head as they finger your paperwork. Buy a briefcase...leather...thrift shops are full of them. Battered is ok. A little shoe polish does wonders. The Jansport backpack you carried books with in school is not. Haircut...conservative. WHITE shirt with your dark blue suit. Power tie. Lace up BLACK shoes. Shine the shoes. 1 ring, a watch (even if you don't normally wear one) take out the nose ring/nipple ring/whatever Brush your teeth and use deoderant . Hopefully it'll help me as I have an interview on the 5th...damn economic downturn and furlough. ps, DO NOT USE RESUME PAPER WITH CLOUDS ON IT. My wife was devistated when she brought that stuff home and I wouldn't use it. ka |
