SEP time worthless unless your going multi crew
Presumably that's not quite what you meant?
I don't recruit pilots directly, but I do recruit a lot of other aviation & scientific professionals myself. I think there's a very valid general point here - the world is full of people who think that job hunting is about putting together a "good" CV then scattergunning it at everybody who might just have a job going. It really really doesn't work like that.
Personal contacts are great, particularly with smaller companies - but if you don't have personal contacts, the only way anybody has a hope of getting a job is to research the job, research the organisation, and tailor the application to show the closest you can legitimately achieve to what they are actually looking for. THEN if you get an interview, research the job and organisation even more so that you turn up demonstrating that you can do the job they want you do do (as opposed to the job you want to do).
All this should be blindingly obvious - but having sifted hundreds of CVs and sat on dozens of job interviews over the years, often for quite well qualified people - it very clearly is not.
Getting all this right does not, of-course, guarantee you a job. But getting it wrong provides a reasonable guarantee that you won't.
