GATBASH SEMINARS - 6th October 2007
Using Danny's words.....PPRuNe will be holding a series of seminars for wannabes on the 6th October at the Gatwick Thistle Hotel. This is the same location and date as the PPRuNe GatBash 2007 so you can enjoy both functions if you so wish.
The Wannabe Seminars will be held from 10am through to mid afternoon with a break for lunch and coffee breaks. They will be open to wannabes who are either thinking of starting out on the long hard road to gaining their fATPL and to those who have gained their licence but are still struggling to find their first job.
Whilst the full itinerary hasn't been finalised yet, they will include talks on how to prepare your CV and approach potential employers, what to expect at interview, what's really involved once you get your first job, flying for a loco and flying for a legacy carrier. These are not sales pitches from companies who want your business. The talks will give you the 'warts and all' side of things and will be by people who have achieved their positions after being in a similar situation to the wannabes and include current pilots and airline management. More details will follow.
There will be no charge for the seminars but places will be limited. In order to reserve a place at the seminar, a £25 refundable deposit will have to be paid. If you have reserved a place and you show up, your deposit will be refunded. Lunch is not included but coffee during the breaks is. Also, if you want to stay for the PPRuNe GatBash 2007 function in the evening (not to be missed) SEE HERE for details, your deposit will be used to pay for your place.
The PPRuNe Wannabe Seminars were a great success last year so you will need to book early to reserve a place as we are limited to a maximum of 85 places. They are also a great opportunity to meet some of the people who moderate and run PPRuNe. If you want to know how to network, then be there or be square... as they say.
To reserve a place at the seminar, please make out a cheque payable to: The PPRuNe Fund for £25.00 per person. Send it to:
The PPRuNe Fund
5 Station Approach
Belmont
Surrey
SM2 6BW
On the back of the cheque write your PPRuNe Username and the word SEMINAR plus GATBASH if you are attending that too.
Initially, BOOK your place below. Followed by your confirmation with your cheque to the above address.
When I have received your confirmation your name will appear at the bottom of this page only.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Won't be around for it this year, but thoroughly recommend it from last year.
Any wannabe would be a fool not to go along. Its valuable for those looking for that elusive first job as well as those who are only just starting training to get a heads up on what to expect and be prepared - its free good advice..take it cause there ain't much of it around in the industry!
Get signing up!

I expect the numbers attending to be a bit slow around this time but.......I would suggest you get your name in ASAP because there will be a surge.
Don't forget, of course, that it is free, providing to turn up, and you get to meet some of the best Flight Deck talent to tell you what you need to know about getting your feet on the first step of the fATPL ladder. And you can ask as many questions as you like. Oh! The coffee and biscuits are free too!
