Look through some older threads here. In summary...

Aviation experience and qualifications (Time, Certs & Types)

Education (Formal)

Aviation related employment/roles (safety, CP, union work, military collateral duty, etc)

Non-Aviation Employment (Only significant employment, enough to show gainful employment in recent history or anything noteworthy that's likely to show leadership, initiative or otherwise impress). Don't let this info force the resume onto a second page, unless maybe you're older and have a really impressive resume.

- Don't List: Uber, pizza delivery in college, generic white collar job 15 years ago.
- Do List: Engineer, senate staff, college coaching staff, Alaska crab fisherman, doctor, lawyer, business owner, etc

Personal: Volunteer stuff, personal interest. Don't list anything controversal, which is most things political these days. Volunter on Kamala' campaign will likely impress the HR ladies but pizz off the pilots on the interview panel... no win. Don't list extreme sports like skydiving, motorcycle racing unless it was your job and you need to show the employment history anyway. Don't waste space with stuff like reading, long walks on the beach, etc. International travel is good to list.


Also... pilot resume format is NOT the same as for generic white collar jobs. Google the correct format.
