Too many applications?

[pilotmike327]

So I just graduated from the Air Traffic program and seeing as it's taking an average of about 2 years before I go to Oklahoma for training, I'd love to get a part-time/full-time job in the aviation industry. I went ahead and looked at both Asig and Signature (from what it looks like, they're under the same company BBA Aviation). I'm currently living in Tampa but I have family in Vegas and would love to move there. I'm visiting this weekend just to make sure I really like the city.

So between those 2 company's and those 2 cities, I have 8 applications on file. Do you think HR will look at that and think negative about it? It looks like I went on an application spree. My biggest setback is my lack of experience but if given the interview, I KNOW I can sell myself. So do you guys think I have a shot? More importantly, if not, what alternatives do I have.

A thousand thanks in advance!

How do you expect to move to vegas on signature wages? I work for BBA, they start line services tech with no experience usually around 10 an hour. Pretty bad...

Congrats, you have two years to do amazing non-career jobs, like White-Water-Rafting-Guide...not line service. JMHO

Well rent w/ utilities is $300, no car payments, family plan for the phone....my COL is pretty minimal. Also, I don't know what else to look into when it comes to employment. Aviation is something I enjoy so I figured this would be the ideal job for me. I just can't picture myself as a raft guide

No no, tough times. You're applying for the position of the raft.

Well I applied for 2 more positions that opened up and shot an email to the General Manager but no response. Anyone here happen to have HR's email/phone number? Again this is for Vegas ASig.

Gracias!

At least I am not the only Floridian that wants to move to Vegas I plan on transfering to Signature at the end of the year, till after I save my cash up a bit.

I'd work at Signature if I can, they pay more than ASIG. You can also look at Swissport, I think they are out there.

Well just a quick update: I did get the job at Signature, full-time fueler. Already did the drug test and filled out the paperwork they sent me via email. Las Vegas stereotype aside, it's a really beautiful city if you live outside the strip area (specifically Summerlin towards the west). I start orientation on Wednesday (at least that's what HR told me, I need to verify tomorrow).

Anyone know what I should expect to do/learn the first few days?

Special "shout-out thank-you" to T/O!! This JC community is the best

Ah, your the reason the posting is gone... Good luck and you will do good with the tips out there. Be prepared for alot of computer based training, there is a ton of it. I plan on putting in for Vegas at the end of the year when I get enough money saved up. I think you will like the GM there, at least she is on her game

 

[pilotmike327]

Excellent. Let me know at the end of the year when you plan on heading over. Hopefully by that time everything is going good and I can start recommending people.

Schweet! I will be there in July, I might stop by and say hi to the gang and talk with Rita if I have time. Luckly I have already found an apartment and all the other things I need over there. All I need to do now is enroll in CSN and save enough money for the move over there, and hopefully I will have my Dispatchers Lisence by then too.
