Resume Question

FO_SHIZZLE · June 25th, 2005, 14:05

I've been getting my resume cleaned up and updated so I can start applying to a couple of airlines here in the next couple of weeks. Anyway, I've got a couple of questions

1) Cross Country Time: I know for training, it's no CC unless it's 50nm, but I've heard that airlines consider CC time as anytime where the departure airport and destination airport are different. Is that true, or am I just a little confused?

2) In listing old jobs (not involving aviation), is it worthwhile to put a blurb under your job title giving the job discription. My last job was in management and I was constantly working with people in foreign countries and from diff. backgrounds. Would that help or do they care?

Trying to keep it cleaned up to one page, any help would be appreciated.

I always put about two or three lines describing what I did at previous jobs. Don't worry about trying to cram 10 years worth of stuff on a resume. I had two of them I brought in for my XJT interview for CSA, one was my one page and the other was a full 10 years. They didn't even want to see the 10 year one since I'd be filling that one out later if offered the job.

As far as XC time, the 50 nm is I believe a Part 61 definition. Part 121 and 135 look at XCs differently. I believe (and someone correct me if I'm wrong here), it's any flight away from the airport, and I don't even think you have to land.

You can count point to point landings ( does not have to be over 50 NM) for part 135 companies. Notice you must land. The no landing comes in when you are applying for your ATP rating. Then, the flight must be over 50 NM but does not have to include a landing.

As far as 121, I believe it depends on the airline, and how they want you to count your time. From my understanding, you are going to fill out an application with just about every airline and that is where they will tell you how to fill your time out.

If you are applying to airlines, I would say it's safe to count the time like the 135 rules allow and put that on your resume, then if the airline wants it differently, they will ask for it in the app.

Just my understanding, not gospel.
