Aviation type Curriculum Vitae's
 

Hi there, i am going to be starting at BAe SYSTEMS Jerez, in October this year an want to send a CV to all the prospective airlines before i go, to have something on there files! Is there a specific format these should be and if so does anyone know where i can get a look at one

One page

Name - big as you can at the top

address phone etc

Licences, ratings held

Hours; P1, total, M/E

Relevant flying work experience

Educational background

Basically a CV is to get you in the door for an interview. At the sorting stage, all they are concerned about is- do you have the right licence, hours, experience. They'll look at it for 10 secs, then bin/keep it. Leave the details of your Boy Scout badges etc until they ask for it on the application form

Microsoft Works does a useful pro-forma for the get past the first hurdle.
