I once got a flying job by simply printing out resumes and letters of recomendation, then driving around a local airport and dropping them off at local flight departments (corporate and charter). You would be surprised sometimes, a positive attitude, a clean appearance (wear slacks and a dress shirt when dropping off your resume, meet the employees) and you may receive a phone call from were you least expected it.

Small flight departments want to hire somebody LOCAL!!! If you live in Utah and email a resume to a small department in Michigan, they probably are not interested, i know this first hand. Start out local!

Besides most corporate companies only hire people they know anyway. Sorry to sound like a complete a$$ but I have just noticed that this is happening more and more and I find it very unprofesional.
