Climbto350.com: $14.95/month, $59.00/year
This is probably the most popular of all aviation job boards. But, unless you have thousands of hours, a few types ratings and the willingness to move oversees, Climbto350 might be a good deal for you. Too many overseas jobs posted on there, several of them are re-posted a few times a week. Once in a while you get a CFI or Pt. 135 job posting, but it’s not worth the money. You can find the job posting on other “free” sites. I used to have an account there when I first got my CFI ratings a few years ago, and I actually found a job through the web site, but I still had to fax my resume to the company. I signed up again this month because I am furloughed, and I already canceled my subscription. Not worth it.
Bizjetjobs.com: $14.95/month, $98.00/year
One of my friends loaned me his login a while back to give this site a test drive. It is the same monthly price as Climbto350.com. Site is updated on a daily basis, didn’t come across any recycled ads, and the job postings range from low time to high time. I found this site a much better investment and more useful than climbto350.com
Find-A-Pilot: $7.99/month; $59.00/year (Private Listing)
This once used to be a great Free site, but they have joined the bandwagon of charging pilots to view jobs. I have seen a few interesting job listings on this site that I haven’t seen on other job boards. They are also starting to post more overseas jobs now. The monthly price for a private listing is still affordable, but they don’t post as many jobs as other job boards, however you get a few added benefits such as a searchable profile, resume uploads, availability calendar, etc. Great site for contract pilots! Lately I’ve seen a few low time pilots (200-400 hrs) paying for a premium listing. Waste of money if you ask me, you are competing with a lot of highly qualified individuals in this economy right now.
USPilot.com: Free
USPilot.com offers free access for pilot employers and pilots. Site is not updated as fast and as often, and I have found several recycled ads on there and job postings of companies that are not hiring. I have also noticed a lot of the same jobs posted that are posted on Bizjetjobs.com. USPilot does offer a “one-click” apply feature, but I wouldn’t trust it. Best thing to do, if you see a job posted on USPilot, go to the actual company web site and look under the Careers section to see if they are actually hiring!
Jetcareers: Free
This is your best bet! It is free, and if someone knows of a job they will post it, whether is it within their own company or something they have seen on one of the job boards mentioned above.
Personally, I find it disgusting having to pay to view a job listing or career fair.
