From the Author

Take command of your career and GET THAT NEW FLYING JOB!

"JOB HUNTING FOR PILOTS" shows how to get your resume hand-carried into the flight departments where you'd like to work. Tips and techniques address all levels of the industry, from commuter, corporate, and airline pilots, to new CFIs. I've been thrilled by the enthusiastic response to my book, because the approach empowers pilots to take control of their careers and "make things happen" almost immediately.

Book review excerpts from major aviation magazines:

"Every page... offers common-sense tips for networking your way to that dream flying job... Read it... and you'll come away with valuable tips: how to prepare a resume, how to network, how to make a good impression, and how to follow up." --"AOPA PILOT," 10/95

"Competition among pilots has reached an all-time high intensity in today's aviation market. The big question: How do you -- rather than the next equally qualified [pilot] -- get one of those highly-sought-after jobs? [The answer is] networking... the author offers eight chapters filled with practical ways to develop that all-important inside contact... how (and why) to meet the right people, how to create a memorable impression by resume and in interviews and how to build up required flight time and qualifications. ...If you are considering a career in aviation and want to know the best way to pursue your goal, this book will definitely help." -- "AIR PROGRESS," 8/95

"There comes a time in your career as a pilot when you think seriously that you might give away your first-born child just to get into the left seat... But getting there doesn't have to exact such a high price or seem so unattainable if you pick up a copy of Gregory Brown's "JOB HUNTING FOR PILOTS"... Anyone who has ever filled out piles of flight department applications, made cold calls and knocked on doors knows how dehumanizing these exercises can seem. [but]...knowing the right person at a potential employer can provide a lot of leverage. "JOB HUNTING FOR PILOTS" is written in a breezy, encouraging style... provides fresh, practical advice for new and seasoned professional pilots and others in aviation." -- "BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL AVIATION," 9/95
