Flight Technician Resource Guide
Finding employment as a flight technician can be especially
challenging for some as the opportunities are fairly limited
depending on your current residency and your willingness to
relocate. At the same time there are a number of resources
available to you at your fingertips to help you in your quest to
find work. The following are some of the resources that I have
found helpful in tracking down opportunities ...you may too!
Direct Contact - It goes without saying that contacting a
particular company directly is the best way of determining if
they utilize flight technicians and whether they currently have
an opening. Of course, this can be a long and drawn out process
as this method becomes a literal roll of the dice. Still, it is
an important part of the entire job search process.
NBAA F/A Committee -- The National Business Aviation
Association [NBAA] is an important voice for business aviation.
Their Flight Attendant Committee is not just concerned with
corporate flight attendants, but they also are a voice for
business flight technicians. The NBAA is an excellent place to
network; in addition, you can apply for a scholarship to help
you keep up with your training. Visit
http://web.nbaa.org/public/about/committees/fltatt/ for more
information.
Job Sites -- An internet search will reveal many job
sites that list opportunities for flight technicians from time
to time. Before joining a paid site check out the national job
sites including Monster, Yahoo, and Hot Jobs for opportunities.
As for the paid sites they include: Air Jobs Daily, AviaNation,
Climb to 350, AEPS, Plane Jobs, Jet Jobs, Parc Aviation, Flight
Deck
Recruitment, and others. Recruiting companies include:
JSFirm, Turner Services, API, and Aerotek. Finally, there are a
bunch of sites that do not charge you for registration, so your
search for work with them is free. Try: Flite Jobs, Nation Jobs,
Aviation Employment, and the Aviation Employment Board at
www.aviationemploymentboard.net for current openings.
Corporate Flight Attendant Community -- This privately
owned site lists opportunities primarily for business flight
attendants, however when opportunities for flight technicians
become available they are listed here as well. This active site
is free to join and all opportunities are listed right on the
forum. Visit www.corporateflyer.net for more information.
Of course, a part of any well thought out job search includes
the marketing of your name and skills. Conferences, seminars,
airport events, and corporate open houses are all excellent
opportunities for you to present yourself to potential
employers. Becoming a member of the NBAA or Professional
Aviation Maintenance Association [PAMA] can go a long way in
helping you to establish yourself in this highly competitive,
but rewarding field. Be resourceful and start working on your
self promotional plan today!
