Career Planning
We’re all pilots, and we understand that your priorities are unique to you as an individual. We want to walk alongside you, offering individualized support, attention, and advice to you as your aviation career unfolds. Whether you’re looking to move to a major airline, or a Fortune 500 company, we want to help you achieve success.
Resume Rewrite
Having reviewed thousands of resumes for aviation professionals, we know that you have six to eight seconds to communicate why you are the most qualified person for a position. Hiring managers spend these short few seconds reviewing your resume for 12 key elements. We walk you through these to maximize your visibility in the hiring progress.
Disclosure Review
Throughout an aviation career, it is not unusual to have a sticky situation which requires additional attention. Our skilled advisors are qualified to help you document and discuss these events with prospective employers using their years of experience in FAA pilot enforcement oversight, flight training supervision, corporate/airline flight operations, and pilot hiring.
Application Review
Our goal is to discover all discrepancies on your airline application, and increase your chances of being contacted. We are experts at optimizing your information for visibility to airline HR recruiters. Our advisors work with you one-on-one to review your entire application from start to finish to ensure all questions are completed accurately, thoughtfully, and honestly.
Interview Preparation
Interview preparation is crucial to making a good first impression. Seventy percent of communication is nonverbal. The way applicants dress, their appearance, direct eye contact, and other subtle behaviors can change an interview experience. Our goal is to provide you with proven techniques to communicate in a genuine, intelligent, well-thought manner, letting your true self shine without sounding rehearsed.
Networking
Networking is an essential skill in today’s competitive aviation environment. Hiring managers are currently being bombarded with resumes and airline applications. Having experienced the process unfold ourselves, our Raven Career Development advisors have developed a personalized networking approach that addresses this issue and communicates your background directly with hiring managers. Avoid awkward social interactions, network within your own timeframe, and get valuable feedback from airline recruiters, flight department managers, and HR hiring personnel.
Salary Negotiation
Aviation salary negotiation and compensation discussions don’t have to be stressful. We break up compensation negotiation up into manageable stages, so you can feel prepared and while keeping discomfort and stress to a minimum.
Whether you have a LinkedIn account already or are asking yourself, “What exactly is LinkedIn?” we take care of the heavy lifting for you. In about two week’s time, we craft your account on your behalf to be optimized for the aviation industry.
