Non-Aviation Jobs Available
I'm starting this thread that I hope will contain only non-aviation jobs. Things are bad out there, and unless you have been in a coma or sleeping like Rip Van Winkle, you know that pilot jobs are basically nonexistent. Some of you have been furloughed for nearly a year now. Unemployment should be running out. So now is not the time to be picky and choosy.
Since I only know about legal jobs in Seattle, that's all I can post. If anyone knows of any other leads from any state, please post them here. Thanks.
-------------------------------------
Legal Analyst needed to prepare case files, Gather information and organize investigative packages, Prepare contractor disposition orders, Review and edit legal documents, Maintain internal status of information, Respond to routine telephone requests, Work on special projects and provide support services as assigned.

Education / Experience: Bachelor’s Degree in law or Paralegal Certificate preferred, 6 months experience in paralegal or legal field preferred.

Thanks for the start Vega! I'll help support when and where I can! Yahoo has their job search engine 'hotjobs' and Monster is another good job search engine too. Best of luck to all furloughed and searching for work!

We have skills and we are highly trained professionals! It's how we present our skills and knowledge that will make us marketable. We have to keep the faith in this atrocious environment we are in right now. Things will get better and we may have to step outside of aviation to keep food on the table, but to give up after all of this work to get to where we are now is really bad....
