Resume websites

[flyer172r]

Has anyone gotten a job by posting a resume on one of the job websites? findapilot, avianation, that kind of site? Is it worth the cost of putting your resume up on the site?

Climbto350.com seems to be a good site for finding employers actively looking. They also have a feature that allows you to update your resume online and then link it to any job you respond to.

From my experience, I have never been offered a job via any of these sites... I've had resumes in there but have NOT received a call from a prospective employer except once. A few years ago, I received a call from my previous employer now, who posted @ AEPS. Now that I look back on it, I shouldve seen the signs .. lol. They're CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! But.. it was a JOB... this was right after 9/11 too... flying SIC part 91 , LJ55, for an investment firm.. lasted there for over a year and moved on. It was an experience

I really believe that the good jobs are either referred, obtained thru word of mouth, or just your plain 'ol "networking" from place to place.

FWIW-I found my dream PT91 gig on FlightInfo.

I found a good job on avcrew.com

when I left it I passed the info to a flightinfo poster who got it.

100K+ Pt91 corp job.

Im convinced the online jobs are really looking for local, pre-qualified decent guys.....which makes sense I guess

What's your dream job?

Hmmm...where do I start?

I get to-and can afford to- live on the beach in SoCal. We avg. 1 (yes, ONE) RON per month. Our maintenence is second to none. I fly with a crewmember I like and respect very much. Our boss is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Our dept. is as stable as any I know of. No pager, No on-call. We have carte blanche on MX/safety/training issues...

We don't fly the biggest, newest jet but you'll never meet a happier, more grateful crew.

The question should be how does someone make enough money to afford a jet to use once a month?

There's a difference between remaining overnight once a month and using the jet once a month.

 

[psysicx]

True but if someone can afford to spend a couple million on a jet and crew to use for vacations has to much money.

 

[pa56pa]

it's all relative... to you, it seems as if someone like that has too much $$, but for the person with the jet-- it may not be enough, and always strive for more
