How find a job...

[Aussie_Pilot]

... G'day Mates!

I wish to know how can i get a GA entry level job either then the normal job hunting procedure dosen't work, in fact no vacancies are posted in normal newspaper and in the most online jobseek...

so somebody know where companies post their job vacancy?
or what's the better why to find it?

Thanks for your reply
Greetings from Italy
( Hot Summer holiday here!)

1. be in the country
2. go to the places the employers are

Concur with maxgrad.
If your not here then the odds of find that job are very slim.

I've worked for 9 different employers as a pilot, one of those had three different incarnations. Only the 8th job was advertised (Skywest Avn - Airmed/Coastwatch), and even that was at the (former) CES.

All other jobs have been obtained by being Johhny on the spot, knocking on doors, or networking.

Tin,
that would be a good gig for a newbie, spend 12 months doing some real flying and you're gonna end up in a kero burner shortly after...
if only i was 10 years younger and wasn't getting paid a fortune i'd leap at it

[tinpis]

if only i was 10 years younger and wasn't getting paid a fortune i'd leap at it

Me too....if I was 40 years younger and hadnt spent several fortunes...

lol@troppo and tin...

cant wait to be in the position to be able to apply for jobs like that in png/pacific.. from what i've been reading on here there is some good flying and experiences to be had up there.. cpl nearly done so shouldn't be too long..

hey troppo, r u still in suva chasing the girls@oreillys? lol..

[troppo]

i've never indulged in such behaviour... they are chasing me not as bad as PNG where they fight over whose husband you are
i've got a nice 19 year old chief's daughter and I'm inline for my very own island

[tinpis]

Troppo get a prenuptial agreement signed that will allow you to escape if she gets to exceed 300 kilos.

[troppo]

tin
i reckon i have 10 years before the genetics take their toll, i should have the island sold and escape to the carribean way before then...or i could join sharpie in paradise...

[Chimbu chuckles]

If she's 19 already you have 5 years or one child whichever occurrs first

If you want 10 years ya gotta get em younger

[Woomera]

The contact mentioned in the above Port Moresby vacancy is one of the "better guys" in PNG aviation.

some great info for guys lookin for a good start....

good to see info being shared by people who have 'been there and done that'.. the png crew seem to have a good sense of humour too which would almost be a pre-requisite for getting a job up there..

oi troppo, does ur gal hav a younger sis for me??

[troppo]

any ways so i don't get accused of high jacking the thread...if you can afford to go to Italy for a summer holiday why don't you pack a bag and go bush looking for a job? most of us have done the hard yards and made the sacrifices...there are no short cuts...you want a job bad enough...go look for it!!!

[Roger Copy Ta]

tinpis, troppo, Chimbu, Woomera and others...
