Instant don't-get-the-job:
* Applying for an advertised position without meeting the specs. in the ad.
* You paid for a type rating or some other pay-for-experience in commercial operations scheme.
Annoyances that usually lead to the round file:
* Using 'frozen ATPL'. You hold a CPL (or whatever). That's what is written on the licence so that's the qualification you have. You didn't claim to have a 'frozen CPL' after doing the CPL exams, did you? Or a 'frozen PPL' after passing the PPL theory? Jeez, I loathe 'marketing speak' & hype.
* Including sim or other flight training device in total hours. If I wanted sim or FTD time it would be requested in the ad.
* Claiming IFR time as IF time. The two are not the same.
* Poor spelling etc
Minor annoyance:
* Hours given to the .1. Please round down to the nearest hour (if low houred), nearest 10 if reasonably experienced, and nearest hundred if you have lots of hours.
Preferences:
* If you have experience in an aircraft type (or similar type) that is operated by the company then please list your experience on it - even if it's a single engine type.
* Ditto any experience in the types of operations the company does, or the region in which it operates.
Never write on PPRuNe after 0100 after drinking wine. Ditto when preparing one's CV
