Where have you applied?

Since you are not getting interviews I would say that your resume needs revising. Go out and get a book on resume writing, or seek the services of a professional resume writer.

Well, I can tell you right now, that you aren't gonna get on with a major- they are looking for 5-10 years experience dispatching, etc. etc., etc.

Are you willing to relocate?

 

[Starbuck]

Hello, I am arthur. Yes I am willing to relocate

 

[Starbuck]

I have applied at most regionals, cargo and majors eventhough, you need experience with a major airline

 

[Starbuck]

My background is Air Force as an enlisted flyer

 

[ShutupandFly]

I know we are looking for dispatchers at 9e and have told my manager about your resume being posted here.

good luck.

 

[405]

I know we are looking for dispatchers at 9e.

I second what shutupandfly said.

 

[SKC]

Arthur, since you're in Wichita, have you applied at Ryan?

Air Midwest (also locally) has a high turnover so they're nearly always hiring.

 

[ATC@LWSK]

What other companies, besides UAL are based in Chicago?

LWSK

I would change Nebraska University to University of Nebraska. The way you have it now makes it seem suspect to being a fake degree. I believe you, as your name appears on the alumni page for UNO aviation institute.

Also, taylor your resume to each job posting for each airline. I.E. your objective should be clearly directed at the company you are applying for. Also make sure your cover letter is well crafted and does not appear like a "canned" letter.

 

[405]

not true. i got on with 14 months experience.

Your scenario was a bit different than what others do or go through. You should know what I mean.

well...
aren't you just the cats meow.

 

[Daytonaflyer]

Don't stress too much over it. During the winter months, October-February, all the airlines dramatically slow their hiring. You probably aren't going to hear from a major right away and most majors hire from within first anyhow. The regionals have just begun to accelerate their hiring again. Be sure to update your resume if anything has changed, and you will probably hear from a regional in the next 2-4 months.

 

[ss9e]

well...
aren't you just the cats meow.

no, not really. i'm just saying that it can be done.

 

[405]

a mirror ball.

 

[quartermile]

I guess the mirror ball was just a matter of time.
Is there music to go along with it to drive everyone crazy?
I can just picture MOC droping an F bomb when they saw it and running out the door to go smoke.

 

[405]

Yeah, they play music - circus music. It's professional. But hey, we're just a bunch of overpaid, expendable warm bodies in there, so who cares?

 

[gonefishin']

Try the Frax. We all have a pretty healthy turnover rate. The pay is better than most cargo and regionals and the work really isn't too bad
