PPRuNe Recruitment and Training Seminar **UPDATED**
 

We in PPRuNe Towers have been giving some thought to running another day of seminars to give people guidance and advice on career development in aviation. We have held two of these in the past, and they were well received.
The plan is to hold them on the 23rd September 2006 in the Thistle Hotel, Horley Surrey. This co-incides with the Bash being held that evening, allowing attendees the opportunity to stay on and enjoy the social side of PPRuNe and meet some of the more well know PPRuNers.
The seminar presentations will include Recruitment, the Sim Assessment, how to write a cv, other careers in aviation and the flying lifestyle. The presentations will be given by some of the PPRuNe Moderators, along with some of the profesionals that are regulars on this board.
There would be a registration fee of £25, which would be completely refunded once you show up on the day. There would also be a limited number of places and it would be a matter of first pay, first served.
This post is to give you advance notice, and to ask you what topics you would like to see covered during the seminar, and to gauge the level of interest, so that we can determine the size of rooms we would need to hire.
UPDATE
As there appears to be a good enough level of interest, it is now time to open bookings.
To reserve a place at the seminar, please make out a cheque to the Pprune Fund for the price shown £25.00 pp. Send it to Pprune Fund, 5 Station Approach, Belmont, Surrey SM2 6BW. On the back of the cheque write your PPRuNe name and the word SEMINAR. This will be refunded to you when you show up for the seminar.
If any of you want to stay on to attend the Gatbash, the mark the back of the cheque SEMINAR AND GATBASH, and this cheque will be cashed as your payment for the bash.
We estimate we'll have room for 60 at the seminar, so first come first served.
I look forward to seeing you all there.
Hamrah

Note: Please ensure that you put your USERNAME on the back of your cheque, thanks.

Sounds like fun :)

I would be very interested in attending the seminar.

Does each registration come with its own guaranteed interview at the airline of your choice? ;)

Any advice to do with getting your first break in aviation etc I would see as invaluable.

Cheers

Count me in, sounds like it could be extremely informative...

Could I suggest:

"VLJ's as an avenue for possible employment and experience requirements"

"CRM - Learning from others mistakes"

Many thanks,

Saffer

I'd very much like to attend this as well, i am interested in starting my PPL from scratch so any info would be helpful!

A320 rider just has to have a freebee, and a half hour talk slot!!!!!!!

Seminar
 

Count me in!!!
Topic: Non JAA to JAA conversion!!!
Thanks

oh yes
 

Count me in please, sounds like a great day.:ok:

Would be interested to hear of experiences from guys who have started the training later in life i.e. 30+ years of age and subsequent employment options.

Look forward to it.;)

I am also very interested, being a PPRuNe sponsored ATPL student (now completed) I already know the value of the support the guys at PPRuNe offer wannabes and I can whole heartedly say it is well worth it.

Thanks PPRuNe for your continued support

Dean

Put my name on the list :ok:

Horgy

FlightKlub would also like to add her name to the list too.
She just needs to be able to log onto the Pprune site again.
So in the meantime I shall 'pencil her in' until she confirms this herself ! ! ! !
:}

Yep, very interested. Having heard feedback from previous seminars they sound very useful and informative

WD

count in waffs and possibly 2 others!

Hamrah,

Please add my name to the list.

H

Very interested.

Would love to know which (if any) experience/skills from non aviation jobs might be attractive to recruiters and how best to present them. Equally, which are of no interest and should be omitted from CV.

Also, (while I'm feeling optimistic :) ) an overview of how pilots manage their careers. If I want to be a captain on a big new shiny type in 5 or 10 years time, should I aim for seat first or fleet first?
