Pilot, coach and blogger Andy Yeap has clocked up a wealth of aviation experience and has now written a comprehensive downloadable guide to becoming a pilot, called FlyGosh Pilot Secrets. Tapping into years of flying and industry knowledge Yeap’s aim is to help others secure a job in the current challenging economy.
His view is that aviation jobs are difficult to secure, so taking a very structured approach to launching and developing your career is vital. The book is broken into four modules covering how to get started/personal attitude; CV; interviews; and networking. The only difference between success and failure is action, is his central message.
Yeap says that by writing the e-book, he will find good people to work with, and learn more himself, as well as inspiring others to make their pilot dreams a reality.
“I strongly believe that I can learn more about myself by teaching others,” he says. “I am also interested to learn more about what people in my industry are struggling with, which helps me to become a better pilot, coach and mentor.”
He adds: “Over the years, I have found it tremendously fun working with like-minded and motivated people, in the industry I love. My ultimate goal is to find stars. I’m looking for unique and special people, who bring passion to the world and share my belief that in helping others, you help yourself.”
