I learned real quick to have 2 resumes. One for aviation related jobs and one for my "B" job that doesn't mention anything about aviation. I only put "Bachelor of Science" for college, not "BS in Aerospace Administration". I had one employer who I had worked for a while ask me what my BS was in, and after I told him he said he probably would have never hired me if he had known that- "it sound like you should be working for NASA or something!" I can't tell you how many resumes I sent off into the BLACKHOLE always wondering why I didn't get a call for at least an interview. The word "Aviation" is the kiss of death for regular working jobs!
