CV Help?

Hello,

After just one interview, which I failed to get Unfortunatley things have been a little quite for me on the job front!

Im wondering if my CV is up to scratch as obviously this is the first impression I have to give to airlines? So does anyone have any recomendations? Is there anyone who looks at CV's professionally that anyone has used??

hi,
just responded to this post in another forum but anyway....

Having done the searches for a CV writing service myself I found them all to be vastly expensive and not nesseseraly aviation related!!

I was however recommended a much cheaper service some time ago which is done by a commercial pilot who has also worked in operations and prior to aviation came from a recruitment background - so good for other aspects of the industry as well. He charged me £18 and totally transformed my CV, so for that cash it was well worth it.

If you drop him an email on [email protected] he will definatley be able to help you.

hope this helps you :-)

wannabefemalepilot,,,

If airlines are not responding to your C.V. might be an indication that not many airlines are hiring at this time and might forloughing pilots shortly after summer.

True. Although a few jobs might be up for grabs. I'd definitely keep sending out CVs to the right places... Even after all the announcements of lay offs.
