In a perfect world the Avjobs system should...

Always provide the salary range and compensation data in each job posting.

What are Aviation employers willing to pay?

Since Avjobs applicants can search for positions by both wage type and salary; Avjobs highly encourages employers to provide a salary range for each position posted (low to high). We believe that you need to know whether the position will be paid by the hour or salary, as well as how much; unfortunately many companies are not able, or willing, to disclose this information on every job.

For this reason, Avjobs also offers a list of current Salary & Hourly "New Hire" earnings as reported by Participating Employers. "This is what aviation employers are offering to new employees today."

The aviation industry offers career opportunities to suit many interests and backgrounds. Avjobs provides this look at careers in aviation for you as you plan for your future.

Combine the Career Overviews, Salary Table and Job Search Tools to help you achieve your Aviation Career goal today!

You may check the current salary for any job any time! Go to the "Salaries" page. Select Salaries from the Navigation Menu.
(Each time an employer enters salary data into their posting, they contribute to the most recent industry salaries and the table is updated in "real-time".)

Allow me to copy and paste my existing resume.

You can copy and paste your existing resume...
If you already have your resume typed into a word processing program you can copy and paste the appropriate information into each corresponding field.

The resume database was created as a "Searchable" system for Employers to narrow their search and find the right candidate for the job. Employers have the option of searching many of the fields separately to help in the process. Therefore, it is important to fill out as many of the fields as possible.

What will the employer see?
As you complete and save each portion of your resume, you can click on the "View Resume" link located in the My Resume sub menu. This is exactly how an employer will see your resume in the resume database. Employers also have the option to view more detailed information about your resume/application but the initial view will be formatted as a professional aviation formatted resume.

Taking the extra time to complete the Online Job Application & Resume Builder correctly greatly increases your chances of coming back in an Employer's search.

Avjobs continues to connect job seekers and HR professionals in the aviation community everyday. We are positive that the Online Job Application &
Resume Builder will do just that.

TIP: The system will time-out after 30 minutes of sitting on any one page. If you have a lot of text to type on a particular page, you may want type the info in a word processing program first and then copy and paste the information into each field. This will spell check for you too!

*More: If you do not care about coming back in an employer search, and you absolutely want to copy and paste your existing resume; you can paste your entire resume into the system instead of copying and pasting parts of your current resume into their appropriate fields. You would do this under the "Personal Information" section of your resume, in the "Career Objective" field. You must still have provided your primary career interest and personal contact information, or your resume will not show up at all.

* Please remember that we do not promote this decision because the system is fully searchable for employers by the information entered into each field. Therefore you may not come back in an employer's specific search for employees.

Always get the latest version of a page to display recent jobs and account changes or updates.

Wondering why your browser doesn't always display the latest version of some pages, after you just updated your resume or made specific changes to your account?

Avjobs is updated daily and it is worth setting your browser to "Always Check for Newer Version of Stored Pages at Every Visit to the Page" (MSIE).

Check for newer versions of stored pages - The options in this section tells Internet Explorer what it should do when you visit a web page. Every time you visit a website Internet Explorer stores a copy of this web page in the Temporary Internet Files folder. When you revisit that same web page, whether or not that information is downloaded again or taken directly from locally stored copy is decided based upon the setting you choose in this section.

Instructions on how to set your Internet Explorer Browser so it will always load the latest version of any web page. (You can follow these instructions right now, using this browser window, or print this page for later use).

Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options .

A window will open like the one above. Click the General tab, then click the Settings button.

In the Settings window (left), check (or uncheck) the options you would like to use.

IF YOU ARE NOT USING INTERNET EXPLORER YOU MAY HAVE TO CLICK ON "Refresh" OR "Reload" at the top of your browser, depending on which browser you are using. IF YOU ARE AN AOL CUSTOMER you can still use Internet Explorer as your browser, and you will find that it works great, as most web pages are designed to be viewed in Internet Explorer, with rather unpredictable results in other browsers.
