After college and ratings attained, in 1975, I sent out many resumes and cover letter. Fortunately I presented myself well and I would go in person, when possible. I was lucky to get job offers, and job-hopped until 1977. I made sacrifices in my personal life, climbing the ladder. All this before computers, the internet and any interview gouges existed (except in books at the library). I interviewed with United, and got a NO (very close, but no cigar). I interviewed with American, and got hired in 1978 with 2, 500 hours. I had a Forty year career, and it was quite the ride. Remember, the squeaky wheel, gets the oil. Keep preservering !

Michael good vid. I’m on a bunch of facebook groups and seeing that it is extremely difficult right now for pilots even with 800-1000 hours to find low time work around the country right now because there are so many low time pilots out their right now.. Any insight or what are you hearing? Thanks
