I have already subscribed to a consulting firm, but it doesn't seem that the package I subscribed to includes resume polishing. I'd be willing to pay a fee to have the resume services only.
Thanks!
I think if you like your resume you should stick with it. I would certainly make sure your resume mentions the specific airline you are targeting. i.e. JOB OBJECTIVE: PILOT FOR XYZ AIRLINES. Also with this, some airlines prefer first officer or flight officer. Whatever the job posting says is usually the right thing to put. Also if your target airline has something specific they want to see be sure to put it(like community service). Make it clear on your resume that you meet and/or exceed the posted requirements they have. On that note, it's your resume. It shouldn't be totally tailored toward an airline. It should be yours and give them a brief idea of who you are. On a final note, most major airlines don't use resumes too much anymore so it's not a huge deal. But definitely have it ready for job fairs or walk-ins, etc.
