Hi Everyone,
I thought I would share this story with you. Talk about a stupid criminal! Guess he has a few new entries to add to his resume! :D
Resume robber' arrested again after WF heist

This is all part of the traditional economic cycle I have seen in my 20 years in the resume writing and interview coaching business. The hiring goes at a frantic pace in the middle of the decade. Then, the economy hits a downturn at the beginning and end of a decade - and not just in aviation...
The best thing to do is try to remember how you performed in the last interview (I know it has been almost two years ago) and see if anything sticks out in your mind that might have been received by the interviewers with anything less than a smile and nodding in agreement.
If you had a...
I have seen several of my clients called in the past three months without a type. The market is getting tougher for employers as there are more options for pilots of airlines that are hiring.
Here is an interesting trend. Continental Airlines types their new hire pilots right away. What has...
Yes, it does matter that you include both Multi-Engine PIC and Multi-Engine total. As you know, you do not just step into a PIC slot without first having training / flying hours in the ME aircraft. Those hours are going to be different. Maybe not by much, but they will be different.
When the...
Hi Everyone,
I found this article on the internet on a site that deals with hiring managers. It will provide you with a view on how the author instructs HR people to review resumes. Pretty much right on target from my years of hiring candidates.
How to Review the Actual Job Applicant Resumes...
As a former interviewer and current interview coach, I would say there are four questions that people have the toughest time with:
1. Tell us about yourself
2. What are your strengths and weaknesses
3. What do you like most and least about your current job
4. Why do you want to work for (insert...
Thanks for posting this. For those who did not know him, Bob was a really nice guy.
He was integral in getting representation for the pilots. He always stood for what was right for the workforce.
He also was one (if not the only) line employee that sat on the bankruptcy committee to represent...
Hi Everyone,
I heard from a retired AWA pilot last night that Bob Ewert passed away on Sunday night from cancer. Can anyone confirm that? If so, any details on where the funeral will be held? I am not sure if he had retired yet or was still with the company, as I have been gone for almost five...
Hi Everyone,
Here is an article from CollegeJournal.com (a division of the Wall Street Journal) on interview questions and why they are asked.

Top Interview Questions

It's always wise to rehearse answers to standard interview questions in advance...
I agree with you, Lear, that flying is the only job where you are not rewarded (at least short-term) for your experience unless you are in the corporate pilot arena.
What tends to keep pilots (and other front-line employees) at an airline is seniority and pay. We used to refer to seniority as...
Not sure if I agree whether you can "prepare" for it or not. Yes, you can take the test, but the factor not being considered here is the criteria that Delta is looking at most closely.
Of course they do not want psychopaths, depressed or obsessive compulsive pilots flying the airplanes. But...
Be careful on the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) test. They are looking for consistency in answers - if you try to "beat" it, they will know.
Here is a definition of what the test is:
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is one of the most frequently used...
Hi Everyone,
This article, written by Laura Labovich, gives a new perspective on career fairs from an HR view. I definitely concur with her information, as I have participated as a speaker at career fairs four times per year for the past five years.
What I have found in the past 12 months is...
I cannot speak for what the government pays for, nor can I speak about the other 2800 casualties. I figured since this is a PILOT board and the person killed was a PILOT, that it would be nice for this community to come together and help out.
FearlessTower posted the link to the actual press release from Luke AFB on the General Aviation Section.
Here it is:

Hi Everyone,
One of my resume writer friends, Lori Norris here in PHX knew the pilot, Major Troy Gilbert, who crashed in Iraq. She forwarded me this letter from her friend, Jill Willis. Jill's husband Matt is an F-16 Instructor at Luke.
They are collecting funds to help Troy's family. I can...

Putting personal information on a resume is a big don't. It has to do with HR being afraid of an EEOC audit. If the EEOC finds resumes with that kind of information on them, and the HR person has never interviewed, let alone hired the person, there could be discrimination issues.
As others have...
