The past month has been all about looking for an instructor job.. I don't care if it was part time or full time.. I just want to teach people how to fly! And I want to fly!
So I have been sending resumes to some flight schools in the Atlanta area, I have visited some schools, I called others, most of them have more instructors than they actually needed.. at least that's what they said.. or it probably was my low time what they didn't like.. one of the Chief pilots openly told me: "we don't hire people from ATP".
I also became a member of willflyforfood.com, an aviation job posting site.. 56 bucks for a year to look for an aviation job.. ughh! Jobs are posted everyday but nothing around this area.
I started applying at larger flight schools outside of Georgia.. but nothing..
Then I bought a great book from Greg Brown called The Savvy Flight Instructor..I started reading it and it's pretty good. Then one day I got a call from a large flight school in Texas.. they told me they saw my resume and were interesting in interviewing me! Then I got another call from another flight school! Then an e-mail from another!
So long story short, I flew down to Texas yesterday in the morning, I had my interview, which lasted about 3 and a half hours; and I passed! Now, I don't have the job yet; I was accepted to start standardization class on mid February and then I will be having a flight check with a Chief flight Instructor; there is when they tell me if I get hired or not. I am very excited, I am going to give my best at this flight school. I also went apartment hunting in the area and I flew back to Atlanta at night.
So this will be a new phase.. I am leaving the office work and all this stuff that keeps me not motivated at all.
I am looking forward into this new adventure and we will see how it works!
Wish me luck.
