hallo! just got JAA CPL+MEIR issued and going to start send FIRST JOB resume to some airlines. Is there are any pilot resume examples on web to take a look? I have never done it before, so any tips are welcome ;)

I used them although more for interviews they will help you with the CV as well... I found them excellent and would recommend them to everyone!!!!
Good luck with it!!!

Don't include one unless specified.
Uniform not required. Most photos will be of head and shoulders.

Blimey, Tinny's awake. ;)
acuba. What reddo and Tinny said. Keep it simple and pertinent. No need to pay someone to do it for you. Happy to send you a template if you wish.

Careful. I've seen his templates. It's difficult to erase enough of the crayon to make room for fingerpainting one's own details.

I always thought it was the dodgy coffee and other unidentified stains that were impossible to delete.
Any way, good luck :ok:
