pilot sample resume

Having a strong resume is the key to getting the job you want. Remember that the person who receives your resume will only look at it for an average of 15 seconds. It is therefore very important that you are able to emphasize the skills that make you stand out from your peers.

A resume is a summary of your experience and qualifications. Your resume cannot be strong without the proper qualifications. At the same time your qualifications cannot be strong without a proper resume. A resume should only be one page long, so it is important that you include only the most appropriate information.

Print your resume on resume paper. You find resume paper in most office supply stores. Your resume should not be folded or attached to the cover letter, so make sure you also purchase large envelops. If you struggle to make everything fit on one page you can adjust the margins and font size. Do not use a font smaller than 10 points. If you change the margins, make sure that top, bottom, and both sides look balanced. If you still cannot fit everything – see if there is anything you can exclude from your resume. Remember that a resume is a summary, not your life story.

To the right, you see a sample resume that is split into seven sections; header, objective, qualifications, pilot credentials, experience, education, and achievements. We will now take a closer look at these important sections that make a strong pilot resume.

1. The Header

This is where you include your name and contact details. The header in our sample resume is only one way to do it. You can set up the header however you like, as long as it looks neat and contain the details listed below.

Name
Include your name on the top of your resume in bold letters. If you have a middle name, use your middle initial instead. Example; “James Elroy Bloggs” becomes “James E. Bloggs” on a resume. You do not have to use a large font to make your name stand out.

Address
This should be the address you want the airline to mail any correspondence. Make sure you are able to frequently check the mail at this address. Do not use your mailing address at work and refrain from using a post box address if at all possible.

E-mail
Many companies today will only accept resumes sent electronically, thus receiving a reply via e-mail is very likely. Use your personal address, not your work e-mail, and make sure it is not too casual. jbloggs@mail.com is a very neutral and personal address while thedude@mail.com is too informal and unprofessional. superstud@mail.com is just embarrassing and will not look good on a resume.

Phone
Include the phone number you are most likely to be reached on. As a minimum this phone should have an answering service, like a voicemail or an answering machine, which you check frequently. Make sure your outgoing message convey a professional image. Most likely this is the way an airline will contact you after reading your resume.

2. Objective

Common objectives are “First Officer”, “Flight Instructor”, or “Airline Pilot”. If you are applying to an already advertised position, put the name the airline named the position in the objective field. Do not get too specific if you are submitting a general application. Most airlines will keep your resume on file and call you for an interview when a position opens up. This can sometimes take months.

3. Qualifications

This is the most important section on your resume as it contains all of the qualifications that make you eligible for the job. List your highest held certificate, additional certificates that are of relevance to the job, core flying hours, and any type ratings. If you have a college degree, this too should be listed here. Do not list high school, unfinished degrees or diplomas/courses that are not of relevance to the job. Make sure that the requirements listed by the airline are listed in your qualifications section. This is normally how far a pilot recruiter will initially read, so it is important that you at least have the minimum requirements for the job listed in this section.

4. Pilot Credentials

In this section, you will break down all your flying hours and list all other certificates that you have not already listed under qualifications. Highlight your total flying hours and put them in bold on top of the other flying hours. It is not necessary to include solo hours, instruction received, number of landings, or simulated instrument. Use common sense and include what you think is necessary.

When applying for an airline, multi engine hours, turbo-prop/jet hours, second in command time, and hours flow on a specific type should be included. Example of a specific type is “1,200 hours B737-400.” Do this when you know the company you are applying for flies a type you have previous experience in. Do not put turbo-prop/jet hours or second in command time under pilot credentials if your experience here is 0. Again, common sense should dictate what break down of flight hours is worth including.

5. Experience

List all previous work experience as a pilot. The key is to keep it short and easy to read. The last thing you want to do is flood the recruiter with an abundance of detailed information. Include only the highest position attained with a company, what aircraft it was in, and the duration of employment in years. Make the job description short and include where the company is located. Do not include non-flying work experience. A recruiter is not interested in your college job or what you did before you started flying.

6. Education

List the highest education you have obtained. If you have a college degree, list the degree and the university where you studied. If you have some college but no degree, you may list the college and the course of study. Also include your Grade Point Average (GPA) if it is higher than 3.0. Do not list your high school or courses of no relevance.

7. Achievements

This section is optional and can be omitted if you do not have enough room on your resume. Further, you should not include achievements on your resume if you do not have any. Examples of achievements are honors awards, prices, or any other achievement you believe will make you stand out from others. In our sample resume James Bloggs has won some aerobatic championships.

In Summary

Your resume is a sales tool intended to get you an interview for the jobs you have applied for. It does not have to look identical to the sample resume we have provided. Think about the job you are applying for and then set up the resume accordingly. It is ok to have a standardized pilot resume, but making a few adjustments before you send it to an airline may help you gain the recruiters attention. Remember that all airlines do not have the same hiring requirements; therefore your resume will stand a better chance if you tailor it to the airline you are applying for.

And before you send it – make sure to proof read, check any spelling errors, and have someone else proof read the resume for you. Automated spell checking, like in MS Word, does not guarantee it is free from miss-spellings and grammatical errors.

Never send a resume alone. Make sure it is accompanied by a cover letter. If possible, avoid handwriting on the envelope. All modern printers can make professional looking labels or print directly on the envelope, so take the time to figure out how you do it. Follow these guidelines and your resume should be off to a strong start.

Here is a sample of a Functional Resume. This format is unique because it focuses on accomplishments and specific skill sets rather than on job history as in the Chronological Resume. This type of resume is helpful for someone who wants or needs to emphasize their unique skills or accomplishments rather than their sequence of jobs. This is the best format for someone changing jobs or careers for the same reason.

Contents

Contact Information
This is the information obviously necessary for an employer to know how to contact you. Believe it or not, I’ve seen many resumes over the years where this information was left out and, of course, I had no way of getting back to them to tell them!

Objective (Optional)
I recommend that you don’t use an objective unless you want to target a specific job. If you want to include an objective, you should only mention the specific job title and nothing else.font>

Summary or Skill Summary
The summary is a very important part of a resume because a well-written summary can quickly give a potential employer an idea of what you have to offer. It’s important to spend some time crafting a summary that will catch the reader’s attention.

Skills and/or Accomplishments
A Functional Resume takes the information you would normally have under each job title in a Chronological Resume and lists it here for better visibility and greater emphasis.

Work History or Professional Experience
This is where you list your jobs in reverse chronological order. Include the title of you rposition, the name of your employer, the city and state of your employer, and the length of your time there.

Education
Your college or university education or university level certificates.

Professional Affiliations (optional)
If you belong to any professional affiliations, mention them here.

Training and/or Certifications (optional)
Mention any relevant certifications or training that doesn’t fit under the Education element.

Military Experience (optional)
If you want to mention your military experience because you believe it’s relevant, mention it here.

DO NOT add the comment “References Available Upon Request” because that is a given but also because you may not need them. Also, you should only provide references when and if the process with your potential employer has moved past the initial contact and you know you are being seriously considered for the job.

sample resume

Entry level resume example for a business student. Notice that the profile is written in a summary format that outlines this business student’s skills as opposed to an objective statement that tends to only describe the type of job a person is targeting.

The summary is followed by five job positions that demonstrate skill sets in the summary.

The education and activities section further reiterates the basic principles of the target, which include memberships in business, international and social clubs and fraternities/sororities. This is common in the entry level resume. The writer also includes the impressive 4.00 GPA for the business administration major.

Everyone knows that it only takes a moment to review a resume.  A moment where it is decided if you will get an interview or not.  Medical and pharmaceutical sales managers prefer to see performance based resumes rather than skills and responsibility focused resumes. 

We have provided you with an industry-preferred format for your resume.  Make yours look just like this one and send it to us.

Nurse example resume

After avoiding the 7 deadly sins of resume design, you may be asking, “If I can’t use crazy colors, clip art, and other types of decoration, how do I make my resume stand out from the crowd?” Like many things, the answer lies in the details.

Even if you can’t hire a fancy designer and are stuck with Microsoft Word, a few tweaks can turn your blase resume into an elegant and functional showpiece.

The typical resume

Like most resumes, it was created in Microsoft Word. It doesn’t look horrible, but it could use improvement. You can improve almost all resumes with four steps:

1. Pick a better typeface
2. Remove extra indentations
3. Make it easy to skim
4. Apply typographic detailing

1. Pick a better typeface

If you’re using Times New Roman, Word’s default typeface, change it now. Times doesn’t read well on-screen and lacks typographic subtleties such as non-lining numbers. Because it’s available on virtually all computers and designed to be readable on on-screen, try Georgia instead.

At the same point size, Georgia appears larger than Times New Roman, so you’ll want to set the font size a point or two smaller. Just don’t go below 9 points.

To improve readability, also increase the line spacing (also called leading) to at least 120% of the font size.

To do this in Word:

1. In the menubar, go to Format and select Paragraph.
2. In the pulldown under Line Spacing, choose Exactly and set the line spacing to 14 points.

Our example résumé currently uses Times New Roman set at a size/line spacing of 11pt/13pt. Let’s change it to Georgia with a size/line spacing of 10pt/14pt.

Here’s a detail of the difference:

Notice how the Georgia’s numbers blend in better than Times New Roman.

Here’s the full page:

If you can’t stand Georgia and aren’t worried about on-screen legibility, feel free to choose another appropriate typeface.

2. Remove extra indentations

Next, reduce the number of indentations. Better yet, take them all out. While useful in outlines, too many indentations in a résumé will cause your eyes to jump all over the page, destroying page harmony. The goal is to have all text align to each other.

After reducing indentations, also hang your bullets.

In Word:

1. Replace any spaces after a bullet with a tab character.
2. Select the bulleted list.
3. If you don’t see the horizontal ruler, go to the View menu and select Ruler.
4. On the ruler, drag the First Line Indent marker to left by 1/8th of an inch.

Here’s a detail showing the résumé before and after removing indentation:

To align all the cities and dates on the right, use tabs.

Already, you can see a huge improvement.

Also notice that the top margin is now reduced to 0.5 inches. This helps compensate for the additional line spacing in step 1.

3. Make it easy to skim

To make the résumé skimmable, you have to create a distinct typographic hierarchy. By typographic hierarchy, we mean Ellen Lupton’s definition from Thinking With Type:

A typographic hierarchy expresses an organizational system for content, emphasizing some data and diminishing others. A hierarchy helps readers scan a text, knowing where to enter and exit and how to pick and choose among its offerings.

Our example résumé already uses bolds and italics to highlight important information such as names and job titles. If you aren’t using them, set them now.

The headings for the major sections, however, don’t stick out enough. Even with “Education”, “Legal Experience”, and “Skills and Certifications” underlined and set in bold, they look too close to the job titles.

To make these section headings more distinct, use horizontal rules above and below each section heading.

In Word, select the section heading and go to Format in the menubar. From here, you’ll make changes in Paragraph, Font, and Borders and Shading.

Paragraph

1. In the pulldown under Line Spacing, choose Exactly if it’s not already chosen, and set the line spacing to 16pt.
2. Under Spacing, set the Before field to 6pt and the After field to 8pt.

Font

1. Select the Character Spacing tab.
2. For Position, choose Raised from the pulldown and type “1pt” in the field.

Borders and Shading

1. Select the Borders tab
2. Under Setting, select Custom
3. For Style, select a solid line. For Color, choose black. For Width, choose “3/4”.
4. In the preview area, click the Top Border icon to the left of preview image.
5. To add a bottom border, repeat step 3 using grey for Color, and “1/4” for Weight.
6. In the preview area, click the Bottom Border icon to the left of preview image.

Here’s a detail of the difference:

And now the full page:

To give more emphasis to job descriptions and responsibilities, deemphasize the cities and dates by setting them in grey.

4. Apply typographic detailing

Our résumé makeover is almost done, but it needs some finishing touches:

Use smart quotes

Never ever use inch and foot marks (straight quotes) as quotation marks and apostrophes. They should always be curly. Microsoft Word has automatic curly quotes turned on by default. If not:

1. In the menubar, go to Tools and choose AutoCorrect.
2. Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
3. Under Replace as you type, click the checkbox next to “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes”.

Space out text set in ALL CAPS

In general, avoid setting type in ALL CAPS. Because the letters start to look the same, it’s harder to read. In small doses, text in ALL CAPS is acceptable if you space out the letters.

The extra spacing between letters help makes each letter more distinct and readable:

In Word:

1. Select the text set in ALL CAPS.
2. In the menubar, go to Format and choose Font.
3. Select the Character Spacing* tab.
4. In the Spacing pulldown, choose “Expanded” and type in “2pt” in the field.

Separate durations of time with en dashes

Durations of time such as “9–5”, “Monday–Friday”, and “October 5–December 31” should always be separated by en dashes, not hyphens.

On the Mac, press Option-Dash to create an en dash. On a PC, hold down the Alt key and press 0150.

Adjust spacing in phone numbers

The space after the closing parenthesis in a phone number is often too wide. To reduce this, select the space and change its font size in half. So if the rest of the text is 10pt, change it to 5pt.
