Tips HR Dept. Looking for a job in aviation requires a lot of patience and a lot of persistence. Especially for those dream jobs, it can be months between handing your resume to a recruiter at a job fair and getting that coveted interview. During those intervening months, the wise job seeker prepares for the interviews to come, researching the companies, brushing up on technical skills and polishing those interviewing skills.
Preparation is the key to success, all the experts say.
But inspiration is sometimes needed in those days when the phone hasn't rung yet to set up the interview. So here are a few words of wisdom culled from a variety of sources to give you inspiration, insight, or even a little laugh, while searching for the next stop in your career. The job search is a search for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for recognition as well as cash, astonishment rather than torpor. Perhaps immortality, too, is a part of the quest. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
