You're qualified, you're applying—but you're not hearing back.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. We've helped thousands of pilots and flight attendants land their next great job, and we've noticed some common pitfalls that might be getting in your way.

Here are 4 things that could be holding you back—and how to fix them today:

1. Your Profile Isn’t Fully Updated

Employers are searching by aircraft type, training dates, and home base. ✅ Do you have your type ratings listed? ✅ Did you include last training dates? ✅ Is your home base current?

👉 Log in and make sure your profile reflects your most recent qualifications. Even one outdated detail can knock you out of search results.

2. Your Resume Isn’t Selling You

A resume that worked at the airlines won’t cut it in corporate aviation.

• Is it tailored to Part 91 or 135 flying?
• Does it highlight your customer service experience or high net-worth client work?
• Is it easy to scan quickly?

👉 Consider our Resume Review Service—$199 for a full review and update by our team. We’ve helped hundreds of members land interviews with just a few targeted tweaks.

3. You’re Just Clicking “Apply” Without a Personal Message

Submitting your application is a good first step—but what really gets attention is a quick, personalized note.

✅ Introduce yourself and mention the job you’re applying for. ✅ Highlight your relevant aircraft experience, location, and availability. ✅ Keep it short, polite, and professional.

Most employers on Bizjetjobs say they’re far more likely to respond to candidates who include a short personal message with their application.

4. You’re Missing the Insider Advantage

Sometimes all it takes is guidance from someone who knows what hiring managers want.

• Where should you be applying based on your background?
• Are there companies flying your aircraft type you haven’t thought of?
• What’s the best way to follow up?
