Sup guys, please listen to this.
In short,
How do I approach a [entry] job into aviation ?
A few months ago, I would walk in to my local FBO asking if any positions were available about once every week. Of course they weren't hiring, but every time I went, I would drop off my resume and remind them of my name. I just wanted to let them know that I'm consistent and very interested.
Anyways, Fast forward to about a week ago or two ago, that very FBO I always went too had two positions available for "line service tech" which were posted on Craig-list. GREAT, I go visit them the very next day and the general manager pretty much gave me an 'on the spot' interview. Asked about my availability, explain in detail what I would be doing, and that there wasn't any experience required. All in all, I thought I was the perfect candidate. Soon after, I followed though with a thank you letter for interview and waited a week. After that, I called just to find out I didn't get the job, . I asked for feedback, but never got a call.
I really want to do SOMETHING in aviation, it my career path, its been my choice since I was sophomore in HS. I'm in college now and pursing an AA degree. After I would like to take flying school or some degree in Avionics.
So yea, That was my first taste of failing at getting a job into aviation.
The only thing my resume could show is my retail and customer service experiences (work in a clothing store). So I'm pretty much in the pits in aviation, I have nothing to show.
How would I go about introducing myself to get my foot in door of an aviation career?
