I have worked for the same fortune 500 company (have been promoted etc, and done 5 different jobs or so) for 17 years.
Your point seems pretty clear though. Essentially don’t bore the reviewer with non applicable content. So maybe I should just list the different companies I’ve worked for, the dates, job titles, and a one liner description of the role?
Since I’m just about to get my Multi commercial and only have a little over 500 hours, i’m not worried about running out of room!
Another question is, since I will be hard up for aviation related bullet points, do I point out small things like a 15 year member of AOPA and things like that? Any wings credit received over the years, etc? Participation in any online aviation related groups (Vatsim)?
I will be applying to some part 135 operations soon.
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
I am a career changer, albeit one with a military aviator background prior to my current job. I did what others have suggested. I put my flight times and qualifications at the top. And then a chronology of my work and education history with very little fluff -- just a few words on job responsibilities for each entry. Even then I had to edit out some stuff to keep it at one page.
