| FlightInstructingJobs.com, Inc. is
a new web site that was created for two principal reasons. The
first was to give flight instructors a valuable resource in
finding suitable employment. The second was to give flight schools
a useful tool in keeping a full staff of qualified employees
and therefore help increase profitability.
There are several web sites on the internet that are used
by pilots to find a new job, but very few focus on the instructor.
Flight instructing is usually the first, and one of the most
important jobs a pilot will have in his/her career. Many new
flight instructors feel that even with hundreds of hours of
training and studying to receive their initial CFI, they learned
even more as they began to teach someone else how to fly.
It is a job that is absolutely necessary to the aviation industry,
but is often overshadowed by other facets of aviation such
as corporate aviation or the airline industry. With more pilots
selecting to take the "civilian route" to gaining
flight experience, flight instructing has become an essential
tool to building experience, or continuing a rewarding professional
career. Within this site instructors will be able to search
through nearly 1200 flight school listings that they may not
have even known existed. Each state will show a select list
of flight schools and exactly who are hiring, and even the
ones that are not. This reduces the amount of workload and
stress that can be accompanied with finding a new job. Users
will be able to use a message board and interactive chat feature
to network with other instructors, post questions, or just
share some exciting experiences while flying. For those who
prefer a more proactive approach they can post a resume for
flight schools to review. If instructing in helicopters or
even jets is more of what you're looking for, there are companies
listed on our site that are looking for you too!
If you own and/or operate a flight school associated with
an FBO, a university, or just principally offers flight instruction,
this site in an invaluable tool for your business. Internet
based job search tools are becoming a common way for professionals
in various industries to search for work, and companies have
taken advantage of this by using these sites to help grow
their business with qualified personnel. We feel that flight
schools should also have a site devoted to helping them expand
and maintain a well-run business. In the past flight schools
would have to either put a listing in an aviation periodical,
or find random websites on the internet to fill an open position.
Now with FlightInstructingJobs.com businesses can maintain
their own listing, and with the click of a mouse, post a message
to instructors around the country containing the type of position
available and qualifications necessary to receive employment.
Flight schools will also be able to review posted resumes
categorized by flight time and certificates held that will
give them the ability to scan for the perfect match for their
company. A message board and interactive chat feature can
also be utilized by companies to query other business professionals
in their field about their successes and failures, which can
help them build a better business model. Whether it be with
adding on new types of aircraft, offering different types
of instruction, Part 61 vs. Part 141, or even policies and
procedures. The answers to these questions are out there when
you communicate with people who have the prior experience.
It is also very important to note that it is sometimes necessary
for companies to post a message online stating that they are
currently NOT hiring, or that they only hire within the company.
We need to distribute this information so that people looking
for employment can have as much information available as possible
in making a decision on where to begin, or continue their
career in aviation.
We hope you find this site to be a useful tool in helping
you with continuing your aviation career, or in the case of
flight schools, building an even more successful business.
