Resume Questions

[Dubya]

I have over 6000 hours of experience as a ground instructor in simulators providing instrument currency and LOFT training as well as aircraft systems classes for light twins and King Airs.

In putting this on my resume...I have it with the rest of my flight times listed as "As Ground Instructor ~6000" The time is estimated due to a missing log and the employer unwilling at this time to provide me with a record.
I estimated this time as 30 hours per week..(that was our guarantee..so most weeks were more).. X 50 weeks/year X 4 years of employment = 6000. I know i'm shorting myself..but it's not that much and the time is only ground instruction.

Is this a reasonable way to display this on my resume?

Thanks for any input in advance.

I don't see why not. It's not like you're claiming it as flight time, you're disclosing it as both being an estimate and as being ground. I'd say you're safe.

I'd say that you are safe in listing it on the resume as "Ground Instruction Given" or something of that nature, but the time itself is probably going to be worthless in getting you an interview or job.

Most companies want a certain number of recent flight hours, often in a flying job, and they usuallylist the categories that they care about on their company website as their hiring minimums. If they don't post minimums, then just put the usual categories together in a generic resume. TT, ME, Turbine, and Turbine PIC are most important.

Your listing as an instructor under your jobs section should speak for itself, but you can also list the instructor course under "specialized training" or something of that nature.

I don't think you read my post clearly blue...but thanks for all the info that I didn't ask for.
