How about a deal?
I will trade EVERYTHING with you RIGHT F'n NOW. My house, (I keep the wife and dog, ( he's a really great dog, she is too)), 747, 18,000 + hours, 11 type ratings, logbook, boat, bank account, retirement, 401k .......... all of it. For where you are today. I would do it in a second.
Well, there is one thing you didn't tell me, but I am assuming (yea I know), you are young right? Like 20 ish. 18 would be a bonus
. Oh, and I get to keep everything I know right now, but I'll make a copy for you too.

Here is another of the Do's/Don'ts on the Resume articles.
Particulary I thought the mention of the opinion that is IS NOT required to put all of your experience on the resume. There have recently been questions whether or not to put a very short term position on the resume.

Here is some more advice, and I do not mean to come across as harsh. Do not apply if you don't meet the posted minimums. I can't tell you how many people I know who are in charge of hiring that hate it when people apply that aren't even remotely close to their posted minimums. If you apply and don't meet the minimums, you will not get hired, but you do make it more difficult for the people that are actually qualified to fill the position. It's hard to sort through a thousand resumes if 850 of them are from people that are under qualified.

Mins = 3,000TT and you have a wet commerical -- maybe not a good idea.
Mins = 1000TT/100ME and you have 900TT/75ME -- people are getting hired.
A drastic difference in the gap, but both meet the applying belows mins debate.

In my new hire class of 30 people I would say at least 70% of us did not meet the published mins including myself. You will never know if you don't try !!
Next time why don't you try to be somewhat respectful when you start typing away at that keyboard.
