Default What to do?

There is a company that I would really like the opportunity to work/fly for but currently do not have the minimums. I have applied and been in contact with HR a short while back and was told to re-apply in the future. So I have taken another job trying to acquire the background similar to the company I really want to work for. The job I am currently doing is considered seasonal and will come to an end around May. I am looking for ways to keep HR aware that I am very interested without becoming a nuisance so when May comes around they know that I am someone that has shown a lot of interest and determination in working for them.

Thoughts and suggestions appreciated

Be persistent but not too persistent. Only you can judge how much is too much, based on your interaction with whoever you talk to. I would say weekly contact might be too much, monthly might be OK.

I wouldn't actually re-apply until you in fact had the minimums or were very close. An occasional email to HR ("just saying hi") wouldn't hurt, though. Better still to make some pilot acquaintances and maintain contact that way.

And if the job is flying that turbine Goose (?) ... cool!
