First Aviation Resume: Prior Experience? What else?

Quoted for agreement....
I've used these folks for two aviation jobs and my son used them for a non-aviation interview prep, all successfully.
They were very adept at taking my non-aviation experience and translating/presenting it in terms relevant to aluminum tube management.

In response to above suggestion that a resume isn't required, it may be true in most 121 cases, (my experience is very limited), but, I was asked for mine at a recruiting event prior to interview. After a short scan by the talent acquisition staff, I was asked to give them an acceptable interview date. (YX)

The addendums portion of Airline Apps asks for an aviation resume, depending on who you're targeting. In my case, at least one of the places I intend to apply asks for one.

That being said, even if it wasn't required, I can't imagine that having a continuously updated aviation resume is a bad thing. I'll take a look at Raven.

Any idea what their fee structure is? Website doesn't indicate that.

Also, veteran resumes are absolutely horrible. Received several for a job posting I had at TPA, and always gave them a courtesy extra review. Best I can tell, every veteran led over 10K direct reports doing a whole bunch of things described by words I can't fathom what they mean.

That’s because veterans write them like an EPR rather than a resume, where fluffing • is king. That’s what mine looked like for the FAA.

Yeah, I completely forgot about career fairs. Never saw them on andedums though… and it’s super weird they want a resume when you already filled out your life history on the app, right? Whatever… they’re the ones offering jobs I guess! Yeah, the one time I actually handed a resume to someone was at a career fair come to think about it. I was standing right next to Kit Darby too if you can believe it, and I didn’t use his service. ;)
