Default Re: Resume Building

As we all know aviation can be an all consuming passion - the biggest mistake students make(and believe me I've been there) is totally focus your life on aviation - get out and develop interests and skills outside of flying. If you don't a couple of years into your career you'll start feeling the burnout begin and be looking for the closest revolver. Well maybe not that bad but especially in today's aviation world you need something in your life that's non aviation related to keep you sane. Sports, computers, whatever. As far as airlines wanting to see extracurriculars - I really don't think the 'airlines' care but as mentioned above the guys doing the interviews may - they're looking for a well rounded total person that they would like to spend 3 to 5 days together at a time - if they only thing you have to talk about is flying it's going to be a long trip.
