Perhaps employers could be a little more specific when they advertise a position. This would make it easier for potential applicants.
When I see an ad ............"pilot wanted, email xyz@gmail".... it tells me very little about the position, and hence I don't know what to include in my resume and/or covering letter. A few details on type, base and nature of the work would certainly help.
My other pet gripe........."must be rated and current on (insert type)".
Do employers not realise that in insisting on rated and current pilots they are encouraging someone to "do a runner" from the employer that provided that rating? If I was hiring someone I would prefer to
- train them in-house, to ensure standardisation
- hire for attitude, rather than solely on the basis of endorsements
Some good info in this thread.
