How long before you got your first job in dispatch?

[thegriffinpages]

I'm still looking for work. I hope it doesn't take too long.

Just keep putting your name in the pot!

Have you polished your resume? @moxiepilot has helped me tremendously with mine and I'm sure if you PM'd him he'd help you out!

Just click on the member's name, and a box will pop up. In that box, there will be an option called "Start a Conversation". Click on it, and the rest is self explanatory.

Thanks, I saw that but didn't realize it was a *private* conversation.

One month and counting so far....I didn't realize it would be this difficult to get that first job.

If you're interested in a 121 gig and can handle snow/cold, shoot me a PM.

Right out of school. How much time did it take before your first offer? I'm still looking since getting my ticket in March this year....

About 6 months. This was in the pre-internet days when all you could was shotgun out resumes and hope they had openings.

Got my ticket end of July '14 - 2 months later I'm in indoc at a 121.

There seems to always be someone hiring which is nice.

Where did you get hired at? Was IFOD helpful in the job search.

I start class on the 8th.

I'm just hoping I can FIND something again! I have a feeling the second job will be a lot harder to get than the first...

Hopefully stuff starts to open up again here in a few weeks to at least put an app in.

The economy is definitely picking up, which should result in increased air traffic, both passenger and cargo; that should open up more opportunities for everyone in this industry.
