Here's a tip fellas coming from a CP of a large operator. 15 years in military on resume. Left with 1100 hrs. Resume is 4 pages long of stuff that is irrelevant to us operating in the fire world. called fella in for interview cause he was local and persistent, so thought I'd give him a go.
1) leave all your military crap at the door, and don't speak of it unless asked
2) 5 hours of hauling cargo in a 25 ft line doesn't count as VR / LL time
3) Yes, the helicopter has limits
4) please go out the way you came in
out of 35+ military resumes I've gotten over past 3 years I think only 2 made it past the interview and only 1 could hack it.
Civ operations are not military, get that in your head. |
