Not a pilot myself but know several pilots who are currently at risk of losing their jobs.
Apart from specific flying skills, how would you (pilots) offer your services to an employer? If you've had other specific skills (heavy truck licence etc) that makes it different, but if you've 'only' ever been a pilot, what skills make you a desirable employee?
Pilots I know have (usually) been:
- quick to pick up new skills / ideas / procedures etc
- able to work cooperatively / professionally in teams
- able to make decisions fairly quickly and decisively
- have good spatial awareness
- good hand / eye coordination
- adaptable to changing working conditions
I'm thinking here of several pilots I know have these skills / capabilities (and more) but am not sure, if I was in their place, how I could present these skills to a potential non-aviation employer.
There are many web sites (or varying quality) offering suggestions on job applications but I've not found anything useful relating to aviation.
Apart from keeping an eye on here, any suggestions?
thanks
