There are three requirements to be considered for an interview at Virgin Blue:
1) Know someone who works for them and will recommend you.
2) Know someone who works for them and will recommend you.
3) Know someone who works for them and will recommend you.
OK, so thats just one but you get my point.
I guess you could apply the same analogy to any aviation company, from the tiny charter outfit in woop woop to a regional airline or Virgin Blue.
The guy who just started at your company 6 months ago and with a quarter of your experience could be the guy who gets you a look in at your dream job one year down the track!
So be nice to everyone you meet, you never know!
