Basically, I am currently enrolled at university (in my second year of study - out of four). I would like to apply to the Aer Lingus programme as it is an exceptional opportunity for an aspiring pilot as I am. However, I'm not entirely sure about what a recruiter might think when seeing I'm actually still enrolled at university.
Since it's obviously not possible to keep studying at uni while undergoing a professional pilot training, a possible question from any recruiter might be "what will you do if you are successful throughout the selection process?". The answer would be obvious but saying I would drop out of university without any hesitation might equally be disqualifying as I might sound like someone who is not determined to succeed and easily gives up.
What do you genuinely think? Should I apply or should I wait until I'm done with university?
Many thanks for any advice you might have
What is it in life you want to do ?
Would you want to work for Aer Lingus
If in doubt about either, don't bother.
Onlynthose with a strong desire to be given this chance will have any chance of getting through the tough application process.
