I've re-stuck the topic and edited the title to try and reach a new audience. Perhaps our Wannabes have become so depressed, cynical and defeatist that they no longer wish to find out what's actually happening in the industry right now, rather than what the schools would have them believe.
These seminars include lectures or discussions about obtaining your licences (including the debate about modular/integrated and which schools), obtaining that first job (with advice on CVs and interviews), what it's really like to work in BA/Virgin/EZ/the RAF or almost anyone else you have ambitions for, what's happening in the overall employment market including the latest hot poop about BA (fresh from the kangaroo's mouth), and plenty of opportunities for networking with the people already where you want to be. As I never tire of telling you, 'who you know' is often as important as 'what you know'. Over and above that, IFR has arranged lectures from two pilots I hold in very high regard indeed, and whose discursions I have been priviledged to listen to on many occasions. (I personally think they're both better for a few beers, and I'm sure neither would disagree.....
). Their combined knowlege of aeroplanes, aviation and flight would eclipse almost the whole of the rest of the Pprune world. Industry would pay a great deal of money for their juniors to hear these guys speak.
This is a seriously good facility, at a ridiculously low price, and it only comes round once a year. Are you
so confident of your job chances that you can afford
not to attend? And those of you over 18 can stay after and join the 'names' of Pprune at play! It's worth a fortune, in my opinion, and by the end of the night it's usually cost me one....
