It isn’t the maneuvers or checkrides causing you to lose sleep anymore. First, follow @pilotresumes for when you need us and share this with a pilot in your life.
The new things keeping you awake range between “Am I ever going to get paid?” to “Am I doing everything right?” to “Can I even pay that bill?” and “Why didn’t I start sooner?!”
Every pilot reaches a point where they start questioning the process and doubt creeps in.
Keep going. Improve your resume, don’t compare yourself to others and find opportunity where you can.

It’s always a waiting game.
Waiting for weather, checkrides, hours, replies…
and then waiting for someone to finally give you a chance.
If you’re in the waiting phase right now, keep going. The timeline looks different for everyone but we’re here when you need us.

One day you’re a student pilot trying not to screw up radio calls… next thing you know you’re explaining turbulence, crosswinds and why “it’s just a little bump” at family dinners.
The pilot pipeline really turns all of us into PR representatives and marketers eventually.
Tag the pilot in your life who can’t stop explaining airplane noises and follow @pilotresumes for more. ⬇️

The industry conversation and the low-time pilot experience can feel VERY different, especially when pilots with lower time than you are getting calls.
It doesn’t mean that opportunities aren’t out there, but it does mean that how you’re searching and networking matters.

They said “just build hours” like that automatically explains where the jobs, money and opportunities are supposed to come from.
Nobody talks enough about the weird in-between stage of being a pilot: too qualified to quit, not experienced enough to get hired everywhere.
So now you’re chasing hours, refreshing job boards, networking nonstop and trying to trust the process without losing your mind.
Low-time pilots… this phase is rough. We get it.
Focus on your interests and previous career experience and look for some crossover. Think outside of the box in terms of connections and next steps.
Follow @pilotresumes and let us help make sure your resume is ready to go when you need it.

It isn’t so much a lack of opportunities, but a bunch of mistakes compounding.
1. Errors cost interviews. The number of recruiters throwing away perfectly qualified candidates because of missing their flight hours, having a picture on the resume or major typos is crazy. It happens every day.
2. Some of the resumes are just BAD. Like “was this made in middle school” bad. It acts as your introduction and reputation before you ever get in the door for an interview. Make sure all of the important questions are answered.
3. Not preparing for the next opportunity. You never know when someone might call to pre-screen and ask you to read an approach plate or ask instrument questions. If you aren’t current or can’t answer questions about the next job you want… get studying.

No, but seriously.
You guys (and girls!) fly planes. I think it’s time to be able to share that in conversation with other people.
We can convey it on a resume and in a cover letter @pilotresumes but how do you start chatting with people? Does it feel natural or forced?

This is the first time for this type of reel so be gentle on me. I’m from the 1900s.

You’re never going to have a perfect resume in the eyes of every person who views it, no matter how much you spend or if you create it yourself.
The goal is getting it as close as possible.
We focus on making it “piloty” from top to bottom, free from errors and representing everything that’s needed.
There isn’t a cheat code or magical way to “stand out” per se, but it should be easy for you to update and work FOR you, not against you.
Follow @pilotresumes for more and let us know in the comments if your resume is perfect. 😉

True story. I also would get bonus marks in university being the ✨ only ✨ student to hand in assignments with zero spelling, grammar or punctuation errors.
It’s not just knowing the “science” behind formatting and what belongs on a resume for pilots… there’s a lot more to it.

Probably the biggest thing you can take away from this reel?
Not. All. Pilot. Resumes. Are. Created. Equal.
We said it. 🙊
Some resumes don’t get any traction because they’re missing key (dare we say crucial?) pieces of information.
No flight hours or phone number. No certificates and ratings. Things hidden away or tucked at the bottom of 6 pages.
Follow the standard format for pilot resumes. It should be one page with a natural flow of important pilot info. We want it to be “piloty” (going to trademark that term!) from top to bottom.
Don’t know how? DM us @pilotresumes and follow along for when you need help!
