job seeking

I can give you a few guidelines Mr Langham,they DO NOT specifically apply to the company who are advertising for applicants here.
Nowadays the keyword in the job market is flexibility,the armed forces have done this for many years,you are trained in a main job then given extra duties plus a need to be available outside your normal working hours.Its really true that companies want to promote a CAn Do attitude when they are trying to win contracts in the fast moving free market.
Be prepared for long hours , with enthusiasm you may stay with a company because you have the reward of being involved in something you enjoy , in this case aviation. Initially the financial reward may not be high, however all the time you will gain experience and get known by the decision makers at the company for your loyalty and good humour in trying conditions.When training courses are on offer you can progress further.
Keep in mind that very few can expect a job for life any more,the ability to vary the workforce according to how a business is trading means that long term cast iron contracts are uncommon.
Good luck in your chosen career Mr Langham.
