Before you get your panties in a twist, I was just asking a question. There are a few people out there that believe with something like magic bullets, it will land them their dream job.
I was just at the ERAU 'career expo'.... talking with a pilot from the CBP air... he started as a CFI, Banner tower, what-not. Said that a lot of guys apply with things like pay for time-building, pay for jobs, etc... he said him and his buddies usually just throw those resumes away. They are more interested that you a) worked hard (he understood what life was as a low time pilot doing CFI, ferry work, etc) and b) meet the minimum 'hard deck' hour requirements and c) had somewhat of a diverse aviation experience
Walking by the Delta booth I overheard a brave ERAU student who had 220hrs of 'skyhawk!' time giving a resume to them... his trump card, he said, was his 'Aero-Sci' degree!
