I've never written a cover letter before and all I am going off for is basic templates I have collected and looked over. I would rather post it here and get it picked apart than submit it and have it rejected.
A couple questions. They may not be hiring full time but I want to be hired no matter what, full or part time. Should I include that? How? I've been employed "part time' already but that was just a 1 semester deal for completing the CFI training.
Any input, corrections, alterations or re-dos I would appreciate!
Thanks!
Dear Chief Pilot ________,
Per our previous conversations over the past two years, I am applying for a position as a full time flight instructor with the Institute of Aviation and have enclosed a resume’ for your consideration.
Having accomplished my Flight Instructor training with single, multi and instrument ratings with the Institute of Aviation, I feel the extensive training I have received puts me in a favorable position to provide excellent flight instruction. Additionally, having already been employed as a part-time instructor, I am already well versed in the daily and semester operations of the Institute.
My flight training is broad and extends outside of the Institute of Aviation’s training program. With over 300 hours, I have trained and flown in Piper, Diamond, and Cessna aircraft. While I feel the training I have received at the Institute is second to none, my additional part 61 training has exposed me to a wealth of dynamic flight environments which only increases my understanding of aviation. I am dedicated to sharing this knowledge with students.
I am confident that the outstanding instruction I have received at the Institute of Aviation, and part 61 environments, will make me a valuable asset to your team of instructors.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.
