CPL/IR October 2005 with 400 hours total. Aged 38. Currently an aircraft refueller at Manchester. Networking is an everyday occurrence when meeting pilots all day long.
My contact list is coming on a treat. Hoping to get a break this year.
Network, network, network. Get a job on the ramp is my advice.
Dropped a few CV's off today for internal post. Half the battle is knowing exactly who deals with recruitment. Then find out their e-mail address and then you have a chance of making contact.
A good CV layout on good quality paper is also a good idea.
The number of nice dear John letters that I have received from jet operators who say that they will keep my CV on file and for me to keep in touch, all because of my CV layout. And that's with me being 38 and having only 400 hours. If you have spent thousands on training, then a little bit more to get your CV up to scratch is worth the cash.
Advice on where I got mine done to anyone who PM's me. (PP)
