I recently heard (from a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy) that Limited Brands may be hiring soon. Does anyone know if this is true? Anyone have any information on them?

 

Based in KCMH, a veritable cafeteria line of planes. They are next to Lane Aviation, near the terminal. Suggestion, travel there and introduce yourself.

I've said this before, the ONLY way to get a corporate job is walking in the door and asking for a chance to see the Director or Chief Pilot. Before doing this, scope out your target company's website under careers tab, do real research (this isn't it, look up financials, the NBAA site, talk with line techs nearby, get to know someone that works there), and build a reputation within the business. There are "head hunters" like Janice Barden, but they may or may not help. We recently hired, 3 out of 103 resumes were inside referrals, the rest just used the web posting. One of the inside referrals was hired; one had a recommendation from another office that came in after the interview.

I don't suggest doing this.

Drop ins are NOT welcome at most places I know. People need to be met at the door, signed in, escorted, etc...on top of that many departments like to keep things as private as possible.

I would highly suggest calling first and making an appointment or an inquiry about hiring. Even if you get dumped into voicemail, just ask if there is a good time to stop by, say hi, and leave a resume for the future. Often as simple as "Im at the airport today and would like to drop off a resume if you have a free minute" may get you a call back.

"Dropping in" is often considered rude and certainly not worth shooting yourself in the foot when a courtesy call would work just fine.

Good Luck!

Maybe, I was being flip or, just assumed, the new generation had the manners you suggested. Quite correct, get an appointment first. But, blind resumes are not given much respect.

They had a job posting up for a short time at the begining of July on their website. I don't know if that's the hiring you're talking about or if they plan on hiring more than just that one position but I do know that job is no longer on their website.
