Yeah, I agree in principal, but thought maybe it's a way to get a call earlier. The computer just sees another box checked. That's my real question here. Will it help? I've got lots of internal recs, I went to the job fair last week. I'm going to the spirit fair and vets in blue. I'm just trying to leverage my resources as much as possible to get a call. I really can't afford to wait more than a year or so for a call. At that point I need to pursue a non flying career (which by the way, I'm also currently networking for).
So is there anybody out there that actually did this, and what are your thoughts? PM's welcome.
