Hi to all.

What is the best way to go about finding a new airline job? What should the perfect C.V contain?

If anyone has advice or helpful tips please feel free to comment?

The perfect CV for ANY highly technical job – should always have a front page that contains brief summary paragraphs on:

1) YOU – age, broad location, preferred locations, marital status etc

2) WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR – most important – what sort of role you ideally want at this stage of your career and what direction(s) you want to go in

and only then…

3) YOUR EXPERIENCE / QUALIFICATIONS – remember one paragraph only – the lengthy waffle can go on the following pages

Never forget that HR Depts / Employers / Agencies have to wade thru dozens and dozens of CVs – if the front page quickly ticks the right boxes they will then put it into the pile for lengthier reading and consideration.

If the front page is to fragmented / waffly / difficult to decipher then it will likely go straight in the bin, regardless of how good you might be

I’ll try that thank you!

Try Ryanair, I was talking to their HR department the other day, and you sound like a good candidate for one fo the schemes they run.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I have an ICAO Com and IR as well as a JAR ATPL which I have just completed. I have +2300 hrs most of which are on single engine prop a/c flown in Africa. So… I’m really looking to work for any airline that is willing to take me on.
Thanks again.

It will depend on your job mate, however if you put CV templates into google there are a large amount of free ones to use to suit most peoples needs.

What are you going after then?
