It’s not as simple as many students believe. In order to obtain a job with an American-based airline, you will need an ATPL licence with a bachelor’s degree.

Apply, apply, apply again There are many pilot jobs available all around the globe, including a Cessna 152 instructor or a a380 job. All of these jobs are available, but you should ensure that all requirements are met before you apply. You can keep applying even if you are not selected. It is essential that you have a strong CV and a cover letters to be successful in applying for a job. Online websites can help you create your resume quickly, but I don’t recommend them all. A poor CV will not be accepted by the HR department, which is responsible for processing applications.

How do I create a great CV? 1 – A few aviation academies offer cover letter and CV writing courses to student pilots. It is a great idea to learn how to write a CV for aviation. 2 – Talk to any ex-HRs or people who have dealt with CVs in their lives. Ask them for help.

3 – Use a layout and template no one has created before
