Hi, So I'm looking to make sure my application looks as good as it can for airlines. However I have no aviation experience and only recently got my license (actually came in the mail yesterday lol). So I was looking for tips on how to make a application look good for airlines or at least give a better chance to get passed the Automated systems reading the applications. Any advice is appreciated!

1. On your resume it’s a Dispatch Certificate.
2. Highlight the skills from your previous employment that could be applicable to dispatching (organization, prioritization, communication, critical thinking, problem solving, etc)
3. Some people like to incorporate language from the job description into their resume.
4. One page resume. Keep it simple. A bright green font won’t set you apart.

- Your interview will likely bring up previous employers and any "Tell Me About A Time When"s should solely relate to that employer, if able.
- LinkedIn isn't Facebook. The airline industry knows everyone else like it is, though. So don't write about other airlines on the paperwork unless you're ready to talk about those airlines.
- As far as experience goes, an applicant's resume could talk about how a career change (if you're working elsewhere) or an advancement around the field (ramp to tower or operations, operations to the HQ or LSC or NOC or ABCDEFG, whatever your term is) is benefiting your own life.
- Check your grammar, spelling, and punctuation twice.
No gifs, no memes. And to echo @Squanto91 's point: Don't use huge, different fonts everywhere. No need.
Good luck.

Thankfully while I have a linkedin account I dont ever really post on it haha. The rest I think I've got down. I come from an IT background which I thought would at least give me some overlap that was interesting. But the rate I have seen TBNT letters last month tells me I was very very wrong.
