North Sea Job Prospects
Can anybody help with some names of those responsible for recruiting in Aberdeen for Bond, Bristow and CHC? It seems that this is a position with high turnover, same person not there for more than a couple of months at a time. What is the current situation??
Responsible and Bristow....in the HR department???

Smug maybe, but who said anything about any of them, or me, having comfortable jobs?
Why does erchie want to know the names of the people in charge of recruiting? Isn't it obvious that, rather than wasting time reading silly responses on PPRUNE you should just address your application/enquiry to the Operations Director of whichever organisation you are wishing to contact? Or to put it another way, use some initiative.......

Initiative is a wonderful thing, and should be used at every oportunity.
Flyer perhaps you should post a thread asking if there are any jobs going in your neck of the woods.

Erchie,
For CHC go to www.chc.ca, they list all the names and addresses of the recruiters for all their divisions.
Same for Bristow, go to www.bristowhelicopters.com.
Sorry, no info for Bond.
Good Luck.

I used the word "comfortable", but I didn't mean that some of our jobs are not challenging, enjoyable or rewarding....
Not too many jobs available in my neck of the woods though!

Trying to work out if I know you.
Bitter and twisted pilot on the Northsea flying stone age aircraft.
Hmmm!
Leave the new boys alone, you were there once along with your
enthusiasm.

Haven't flown on the North sea since the late 80's, and haven't flown much since the early 90's, but I renew my licence from time to time in case I get the urge to return before I get too old and bitter. (Actually the urge is getting stronger!)
My neck of the woods is in the middle of Wiltshire....probably not much of a clue - not many jobs around here.
Maybe I'm using some badly chosen words to encourage "newbies" into the fraternity. But there is a fine line between asking for advice and asking people to do everything for you. Hence my comment about using initiative - it often stands out in the way a job application/enquiry is put together and could make all the difference.
Despite some of the bitter and twisted comments from fellow "PPruners", including yours truly from time to time, there are lots of good opportunities out there waiting to be had. So any of you wanting to get one of the jobs, stop wasting too much time confusing yourself with "helpful" comments on this site and go out there and grab a slice of the action before its too late.

Can't be a***d to look in the dictionary; can someone tell me what initiative means?

Flyer43, I live many miles away from any kind of aviation hub, and as such simply wanted to find out who I should ask for/ address a letter. As for wasting time and not displaying any kind of initiative, whats wrong with bouncing a simple question off some that may know the answer so as not to look a complete tw@ when presenting yourself to people that you want to work for??
Someone has to write the pointless responses....

I couldn't agree more, and I'm sorry that you received so many pointless responses. My last comments were not aimed at you personally, but at some of the wasters I have seen on this site.
Maybe, as has been previously suggested, I am bitter and twisted, but I did at least suggest to you that you should just write in to the Operations Director of any of the companies on the market. You will soon find out whether they are interested.
From what I have seen of the few "sensible" respondees on this thread you should have enough to get going with by now. If not, suggest you search Rotorheads for similar threads as I'm sure this subject has cropped up before.
Cheers & Good luck!!

Thats more like it chaps.
Now we're acting like the close knit, do anything for anyone, flying community that I dreamt about before embarking on my flying career.
By the way I had my first helicopter lesson today and I've got another one tomorrow, Yippee!
Wish me luck.
