Pilot CV's and cover letters
Does anyone have any good examples of pilot CV's and cover letters they'd like to share?
A CV can be quite personal and everybody is different however if anybody in the industry could tell us any tips on what potential employers look for it would be of great use! |
|
Make sure the cv is not longer than one page and your cover letter on the other. Keep it brief and simple it worked for me even though some of the replies were sorry no jobs.

Correction
The above link is outdated. The relevant file(s) can be found here:
Document library for pilots Look for 'Pilot Interview' folder or just use the search function and enter 'resume'. Cheers. |
Have you considered Pilot Career Centre?
They can provide you a personal CV and cover letter... You need to pay them, though... And haven't had any personal experience. But many friends of mine say they've done a pretty good job! If you're doing your CV maybe you are an unemployed pilot... I'm doing an essay for my aviation marketing and management degree and I need the opinion of unemployed pilots regarding flight simulators used as a recurrence or familiarisation device... Could you spend two minutes to do my short survey? No personal details will be taken... http://fs10.formsite.com/Allioth/fli...ots/index.html This is open to ALL unemployed pilots!! Thanks!! |
Some thoughts based on CVs received recently:
|
Many thanks for the pointers Kerling, very helpful.

Well, even though he didn't get a job in the end, he will be remembered... :D
|
Nearly There,
You didn't specify whether your amusing individual got a job or not though..... ;) |
That's hilarious :ok:
|
I'm actually almost tempted to send an application in like that myself now............

NT, I guess the page was way too small for his huge ego pic, so he made the most of it. :}
Yeah. Just like one chap from Colombia, who took tons of pics of himself in white shirt, hat etc all sorts, only for me to find out when he showed up for his PPL and beyond, that he only did some theory back in Colombia. Yeah, hard to believe. Anyway, he temporarily pulled the the 'Cap' accompanying his FB name after us guys at flight school had good laugh. He then replaced it with 'Pilot' after his name. As if whis whole profile, pictures etc wouldn't let people know in case they didn't. Sure, some of us want to fly airlines only and dream of wearing stripes on shoulders.. |

Yeah, hard to believe. I read up on the so-called lie detector after that to never ever make the same mistake again. Makes for some interesting bedtime reading if you ever have to take that bloody piece of :mad: |
