right. Don't "wish" or "hope" for an
interview.
If you are not replying to an ad,
remember that Personnel often do
not know about vacancies until
actually asked to do something about
one, so you need to get hold of the
person in charge of the department
or base you are interested in (one
Going For A Job 137
tactic might be to write to the Boss,
whereupon it might filter down to
the relevant person from above,
giving them more of an incentive to
do something about it). Don't be shy
about this - speculative letters show
initiative, which is one of the
qualities required when operating in
remote places.
Although it is often said that a
resume should fit on one page (and
this is good advice), life is never so
convenient, and you should always
be aware from the start that you
might need 2 or even 3, if you
include a breakdown of flying hours.
On the one hand, trying to cut
everything down when it won't get
any smaller is stressful, and on the
other, many resume readers (myself
included) find it frustrating that
more information isn't forthcoming
when I want to read it. The trick is
to put the information you think
might be needed on the first page,
and expand it on the following
pages, even if you repeat yourself (or
even customize the covering letter).
As a guide, my own procedure is to
go through any list of resumes with
the requirements of the job in mind,
and either highlight any that are
already mentioned or write down
any that are not on the front page as
an aid to later sorting. What is
relevant depends on the job, but it's
a fair bet that licences, types flown,
total hours on each and availablility
would be a good start - you could
probably think of a few more.
Having said that, you should still try
to get the information in as short a
space as you can without leaving
anything out - if you're only going
for a flying job, the tendency to
include irrelevant information
should be avoided, and everyone
knows what a pilot does, so your
resume will be on the technical side,
that is, short, competent and to the
point. Management qualifications (if
you have them) are not important to
somebody who just wants a line pilot
(all the advice here should be read in
this light – you don't have to include
everything). As with all
salesmanship, you're trying to make
it as easy as possible for the
customer, in this case your potential
employer, or at least the poor clerk
in the personnel office who has to
go through all the paperwork before
the interviews. It's worth mentioning
at this point that the clerk's job is to
screen you out, or to discover who not
to interview, so don't bore them too
early, or put things in that might
make them feel uncomfortable and
give them an excuse. If you feel the
need to be more specific, use the
covering letter to get your details in
front of the right person.
Be precise about what you are
applying for. Some people use the
heading Objective, which sounds a bit
woolly, but is actually a sentence or
two telling the reader what job you
want, and what you bring to it.
You need to use quality paper, letter
size and white, and therefore
inoffensive, but this requirement is
really for scanning. Use one side of
the paper only with the script
centralised, with no underlining or
strange typefaces. Leave at least a
one-inch border at the top and
bottom of the page with a good
sized margin on either side. It will
cost a minimal amount to get a twopage
resume typed or wordprocessed
properly and not much more to get a
reasonable number photocopied,

preferably on to the same paper. Use
a spellchecker. Twice.
It should include your career history,
commencing with your present
position and working back about 5
years in detail, the remainder in brief.
The name and town is enough to
identify employers with a brief
description of their activities, if
needed. You may include reasons for
leaving your current position. As
said above, when people read a
resume they almost always do it with
a highlighter in one hand to mark
relevant passages for later
inquisition. It's a fair bet that this
will be a prime target, so prepare it
very carefully.
In Summary, the layout must be
neat, as short as possible, well
spaced and easy to read, with a
