So if they have filters for a 4 year degree, 2000 pic and a 737 type rating, it will only show candidates that have those qualifications.
Kind of like going on auto trader and searching for a blue 2010 honda civic. Once you hit submit it's not going to show you a red 2013 civic.
So I'm not wondering if there are filters built into this software. I'm just wondering if currently or recently anyone has been hired with less then 500 hours in the previous 12 months.
Thanks!
Oh for the days when a well constructed cover letter, and sharp resume, looked upon by human eyes, earned you the opportunity to sell yourself in person
Freakin' computers!!!
My father-in-law recently retired from one of the Big 3. I asked him to put in a good word for me with some of his connected active friends. He, through my wife, informed me that he preferred I used the tried and true method of worming my way into the training center, introduce myself, and try to make an impression with some of the instructors and pilots. LOL! To which I replied, this isn't 1960 dude! I do that and I'll be hauled off in manacles by DHS and never fly again!
In fairness however the spirit of his advice is still valid - Its just a guy can no longer employ it by shooting in through an inadvertently left ajar exit door of the sim complex. LOL!
