1. RESEARCH
Where do you want to work? Where are you eligible to work? Doing your research before you start will help you set realistic goals. Not everyone can work everywhere and not everywhere is the industry thriving however in a lot of places it is……… Research will also help you be prepared and confident for interview processes and also how the industry works, it is a sector of the aviation industry, but it operates very differently from the commercial side you need to be knowledgeable to even get a foot in the door so RESEARCH!
2. TRAINING
What training do you already have? Is there further training you require what can you add to you C.V that will make you stand out we strongly encourage further training, and the options are endless at the moment especially when transitioning from the commercial aviation industry. At commercial2corporate that is what we do we set you up for success from food & wine to virtual interview sessions all of this training is essential.
3. C.V
It is time to gather your current experience and consolidate what is relevant and express your talents on paper. This needs to be projected accurately and concisely through your C.V. seeking professional advice for your C.V can put you above the rest. These days a lot of companies use software to sort through thousands of documents, these programs look for key words that are relevant to the role and having a professional service to help can fit you to the job you are after.
4. PHOTOGRAPHS
The corporate aviation industry is one that still requires photographs we cannot express enough that these need to be professional. In an age of Social Media, we still see ‘insta shots’ and ‘selfies’ these are just unacceptable. The right set of photos which include a headshot and full-length shot may be the first thing a recruiter sees and can influence where your C.V end up in the pile. Keep it classy, no glamour shots and the right attire you are not competing for a modelling job you are competing for a Professional role in Corporate Aviation.
5. PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL NETWORKS
Time to tidy them up, ohhh the internet has blessed us with everything at our fingertips instantly including your life you may not even realise what is out there.
