Resumes?

[mcjohn]

Where can I go online to find a good example of a pilot resume?
Hopefully someone can direct me to an aviation based website that has useful info on resumes for low time pilots.
Thanks.

Do you know anyone who has an employer login for monster? I have seen some doosies on there before. It's amazing what people put on a resume in terms of what they are willing to "accept".

Check with Kathy (aka: Resume Writer) on here. She does it for a living. She did mine and it works great IMWO (in my worthless opinion)

I sent her two emails so far and nothing. We chatted once via PM and she gave me her email to send my resume but I haven't heard back from her in about a week.

John,

I just got your first email to me last night at 8:15 pm after I asked you to send me your resume after you PM'd me. If you sent something else, I did not get it.

I usually do not respond to emails after 5 pm on Friday because the weekends are the only time I get to spend with my kids or do errands. I am more than happy to set up a time with you! I will respond - I promise!

- I promise!

Promises, promises.... Hello Kathy.

I will second that about Kathy. She does great work. It is well worth the money.

After getting a stack of resumes at a recent job fair, I would say that a lot of people NEED professional help. I haven't seen Kathy's work, but a lot of people are pleased with it from what I can gather.

I recently got my resume back from Kathy and I have to say it was worth every single cent. She made my resume way better, there is no way I would have come up with a document that well done on my own.

ok, heres my question.....i am at flight safety and there is a lady in career services that helps students with there resumes and cover letters. I had her check over mine and was told in the cover letter I should include my hours and highlights of my aviation career (ratings and schools i went to) to the 2nd (body) paragraph. I guess this seemed a little redundant to me, and am wondering if this is necessary, or whether it will help or hurt my chances of a job. PM me if you'd like to see my resume and cover letter to see what I'm talking about.

Thank you everyone for your kind words!

As for the question about the cover letter - think about it in this way. A cover letter is like the cover of a magazine. They entice you enough to want to read the articles inside, which in this scenario would be your resume. A cover letter should do the same. Do not make it a novel, though.
