Good questions. Generally, you keep your resume short and sweet, no more than 1 page. Your flight time section should read like a ledger. It describes your experience as cleanly and clearly as possible. I don't want to read a paragraph to see your multi-time, I want to see it in direct comparison to the rest of your experience. If I have to read any more than a second or so to get the information I need, I'm moving on to the next resume.
I used to see a lot of resumes that had been prepared by
Pilot Career Centre. They stood out because they were all identical in format, but also had all the relevant information clearly outlined. If you don't want to pay for their services, you can google pilot career centre resume and see in the image results what a typical pilot resume looks like. Then you can write your resume in a similar format. In short though, your resume should outline your experience in a table, for example using what you wrote in your original post with a little bit of clarity:
Objective To obtain a pilot position with ABC Airlines.
Note: Some people will put a brief, 3 to 5 short sentence summary here instead of an objective. Either is fine as long as it's not Tolkien-ish in length.
Flight Experience Canadian CPL, Group 1 Instrument Rating, Written IATRA
FAA CMEL and IR
Type Ratings: [Only include this line if you have aircraft type ratings: BE02, BE10, DH8, ATR42, EA32, B737, etc. Don't include this line if the airplanes you fly are covered by the blanket type ratings]
Total Time: 530
PIC: 380
................Multi-PIC: 30
................Instrument: 100 (although I'd put 10 here for reasons discussed earlier)
Multi: 40
................Night: xx
.....................Cross-Country: XX
Note: It is also in this table where you might add things like float time, ski time, turbine time, or any other breakdown the company has asked for, such as TAA. But, be careful with your definitions. Canada doesn't recognize TAA like the FAA. As you know there is no requirement to fly a complex aircraft for your CPL here in Canada. You can get all the way to an ATPL here without ever touching a complex aircraft. It's better to simply outline the exact experience the company is looking for. As an example, if they're asking about MFD/PFD time, list that as EFIS or Glass experience. Use the terms they're using, because it's likely it is not a pilot who is first looking at your resume, and if they don't know what TAA is, your resume may not make it to a pilot for review.
Work and Education
Note: Keep this section short, ideally limited to the last 5 years for work history and only your aviation education unless you have a degree or other professional qualification.
Company Name................Position and Aircraft Type................Dates Single or dual sentence description of the position. Less is more
School..............................Campus Location..............................Dates Single or dual sentence description of the training. Less is more
References
Note: This is the only section of your resume that should be on a separate page, although work and education can spill over if you have lots, but you've kept them all nice and short.
Note 2: Always lead with professional references. Personal references should be left to the end.
Name, current position, current company, City, Phone, E-Mail
if no one wants Class 4 instructor, how is one is to upgrade it?
You are awarded a Class 4 Instructor Rating as soon as you pass the Flight Instructor flight test, or in other words, you get a Class 4 by passing the flight instructor rating. You upgrade to a Class 3 by having your Class 4, having flown 100 hours
with students undergoing training towards a pilot license, have a record of training that shows you've sent 3 students for their solo, you've recommended 3 students for their flight tests
and they passed those tests, and you've instructed those students for no less than 5 out of their last 10 hours. Once you meet those requirements, you upgrade to a Class 3. There is no additional flight test or exam.
The reason you don't see too many Class 4 positions advertised is that a Class 4 requires direct supervision from a Class 2 or 1 Flight Instructor, and normally that person doubles as the chief flight instructor. That places a workload on the CFI that a Class 3 does not, and many schools won't want to take on that burdon unless the school has multiple Class 2s or 1s, which was unusual in my experience. Plus, it's a huge marketing tool for a school to say that if you do your instructor rating with them, they'll hire you on as an instructor. A lot of students will look elsewhere for their training if the school is not hiring, so it is often in the schools benefit to leave a flight instructor position vacant and grab that student rather than having all positions filled and losing students to another school.
You do want to be a little strategic here. Almost all schools offer to complete your instructor rating, but if the school only has a limited number of students, you may not be getting the flying that you want, so as much as I love the mom-and-pop schools for PPL and CPL training, the larger schools are often your best bet for the flight instructor rating.
