Job seekers looking for pilot and maintainer positions have the opportunity to participate in two complementary career events this week at Heli-Expo 2024.
“Mil2Civ” is a workshop tailored to those transitioning from the military and was held Monday afternoon at the Anaheim Convention Center. Topics covered included logging PIC and flight times in accordance with FAA rules; writing an aviation resume and “nailing” the interview; avoiding common stumbling points for military aviators in the commercial helicopter industry; and practicing the essential art of networking.
Sessions were conducted by individuals who have successfully transitioned from military to civil employment. Special breakout sessions for maintainers were also included.
Today, the Heli-Expo Industry Career Fair will connect job seekers and recruiters from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Anaheim Convention Center (Level 3, Ballroom AB). Job seekers are reminded to dress appropriately, bring copies of up-to-date resumes, and be prepared to discuss accomplishments and goals. Resume reviewers will be available onsite for consultation, and there will be an opportunity to print an updated resume.
Companies of various sizes will be attending. Large employers planning to attend the career fair include Air Methods, Airbus, Bristow, the FAA, Metro Aviation, PHI, Robinson, and Safran.
