Memorize the email sign in information for faster access to my mail.

Now it does! Due to the high number of requests for single sign in, you no longer have to re-enter your sign in info! As you may have already noticed, the system now logs you directly into your email account without requiring you to enter your username and password again!

For security purposes, it was required that you sign in separately to check your @myavjobs.com email account.

Thanks to your feedback, and our wonderful technical department, we have implemented a single sign-on process. Your mail will still open in a new window, however, you will not be prompted to enter your sign in info - way to go!

Thanks to everyone involved!

I keep seeing these little icons?

What is this , and this ,and this ,and this ?

The Icon Legend.

Icons have been added to make it easier to visually scan the list of available jobs and their details. Much the way many reference books do, we employ icons to attract attention to information that is important or that needs to be differentiated from the others in a particular section. These icons are used routinely throughout the Avjobs Applicant System.

For information on icons, symbols and colors, click the "Icon Legend" link located directly above any job posting.

is the New Posting Icon. This icon indicates that the posting has been added to the system in the last 7 days.

is the Modified Posting Icon. This icon indicates that something in the posting has been changed in the last 7 days. The change could be anything including, work location, wage information, job description, application instructions, etc...

is the Close Date Approaching Icon. This icon indicates that the cut off date for applications is within 7 days. After the "Last Date to Apply" has passed the posting will be automatically removed from the system.

is a Notification Icon. This icon indicates that you have taken some type of action on this position; using the "One Click" Application process, the Automated FAX tools, or Saved this position to "My Jobs".

The Avjobs® brand is the most widely recognized in aviation employment.

If you see this logo on a job posting, it signifies that this employer is a part of the Avjobs Alliance Program. They are promoting aviation related careers within their company and stand behind their commitment to supporting the industry as a whole.

All employers using the Avjobs system are required to register prior to gaining access to the system. All job postings (including confidential postings) have been approved through Avjobs prior to being posted to the live jobs database.

Believe it or not there are employers out there who still can’t find enough applicants. Some are offering six-figure salaries to the right job seekers. The trick is finding and applying for these hidden opportunities. Be sure to apply for these jobs today - employers are waiting for you! Both Avjobs and our participating employers want you to apply for jobs.

Top 3 reasons to APPLY, APPLY, APPLY.

#3 - Practice Interviewing. It is incredibly important to continue to practice your interview skills. And there is NO better way to practice than with an actual job from an actual aviation related employer. Take the opportunity to polish your skills and become comfortable with your ability to answer questions as well as ask questions them professionally. You should schedule and go on at least 20 interviews to be ready for the job you want.

#2 - Networking. What better way to network, than with the actual people you are trying to get to? Through the interview, you may find other job opportunities within that company or even with another company. Remember you must go thru one door to get to the next.

#1 - Jackpot. You never know, it could turn out to be the dream job you never knew about. We have even seen companies use a "Dummy Job" or a "Front Job" to filter out unqualified candidates, when they are actually hiring for other positions that they are not advertising. No matter what, you will gain experience for your next job or career move.

We cannot stress this enough...

We strongly recommend that you APPLY for any job that looks interesting to you.

Remember, getting a job is a two way street. Many job seekers assume that the employers have the upper hand, and that they have many applicants to choose from. Give yourself the "upper-hand"; apply for as many positions as you possibly can, in the end, you are the one who decides whether you want to take the job.

We recently reviewed an article titled "AOL Email Address Brands You As Technologically Obsolete." The article said that having an outdated email address from a company like AOL brands a person as being someone who is not willing to move forward with technology. The article specifically discussed people looking for a job and how an employer might question a candidate’s suitability for the job simply because of the email address he or she uses.

We were intrigued by how many applicants are using various “old” email addresses as their primary means of contact. We have a rather large database of applicant email addresses due to our weekly aviation jobs newsletter (AvjobsWeekly) that we send. So we did a simple search for some common email domains with the following results.

• AOL: 2464
• Yahoo: 13,056
• Hotmail: 7,511
• Earthlink: 143
• Roadrunner: 191
• Comcast: 634
• .edu: 492
• Gmail: 5359

Each of these email addresses are free. But in this case, "free" may be costing you a lot.

When we receive business email that is using one of these free services we (and every other recruiter and hiring manager) - correctly or not - make some basic assumptions. Our first assumption is this person is not really serious about building or marketing themselves as a serious applicant—at least not in the aviation sector. Second, while they may be serious, they just don’t understand how to keep up with today’s technology changes and improvements, or what that email address is really saying about them.

Every communication leaves an impression. Your email address is your online front door. Emails you send to employers and hiring managers invite them to come to your “office” (your online presence) to read your resume and learn more about what you have to offer as an employee.

You may question our inclusion of Gmail on this list. We have several Gmail addresses. But we don’t use them for business purposes or as our primary email address. Gmail works well as an email client to manage your incoming email. It works very well for lots of people. Just don’t send employers a message from your Gmail account if you want them to really pay attention to it.

Setting up an Avjobs hosted email account with your own name is easy and included with every applicant account.

There is simply no reason not to have a unique email address that reminds people about your interaction and commitment to the aviation industry. And every time you send an email from your myavjobs.com email account, you’re encouraging people to view your resume, accomplishments and value in the aviation industry.

If you are using an outdated email address for your job search, we encourage you to spend the small amount of money required to get a professional email address.
