Fabbe92 you might not of noticed but most of the posters on this thread are a bit passed the choosing how to get trained stage.

Keygrip models hawaiian shirts in Florida and has a part time job as a flight examiner and beer quality control expert.


And GSXTY and myself were both wannabies going through training when 9/11 kicked off.

From having a look at the huge pile of CV's that I presume are replicated in every ops room in the UK the biggest obvious difference between intergrated and modular are the CV's.

The Intergrated ones mostly look the same, all are set out nicely and are easy to read, have the correct information in the order that you would want it and are boring. Usually because the person is straight out of school or Uni and have done nothing with thier life.

The modular CV's are mostly ill thought out have no structure to them or use gimmicks which alot of people would feel inappropriate to the job they are applying for. I still have a mug with some Police Sgt's CV printed on the side of it. I haven't seen any of his stuff for a couple of years now, I hope he has a job. And if he is reading this I do know quite a few line pilots who hassled the boss to try and get you an interview.

The ones that stand out for me are the ones which the person has done something. The format is nearly the same as the integrated standard CV but different. The person has done something different ie at Uni the were in the TA or had done VSO, scuba diving instructor, played a sport to an international level. Or if they arn't a Uni person they ran there own business had interesting hobbies etc. IT waffle bollocks about helpdesks and all that crap is so seethru its unbelievable so don't be tempted.

It can be something really stupid like the person used to be a roofer. One lad I have heard of went for the interview and got told if he could stop the water pissing in the hangar roof he could start the type rating Monday.

As you can see its not your training as such its more the way you sell yourself that makes the difference.
