Ground Instructor Vacancies

Like all things in life getting a job as a GI is all about being in the right place at the right time.

Vacancies often arise without warning, leaving the CTKI with an urgent need to fill the gap. Advertising vacancies is costly and often fruitless.

During my time as a CTKI (we were called CGIs then ) I always kept a few CVs in my desk. In most cases I had already interviewed the candidates, so I was usually able to fill gaps simply by ringing up the most promising one.

I suggest you ring the various schools and talk to the CTKI. If no immediate vacancy is available offer to send your CV and if possible arrange to visit the school to do a demonstration lesson. Hopefully all of this will get your name firmly fixed in the mind of the CTKI and your CV in his/her desk drawer. Then when a vacancy arises at some time in the future you will already be ahead of the game.
