Job Alerts are automated alerts that you can create to ensure you never miss out on the latest jobs on Aviation Job Search which match what you’re looking for. Whenever a new job is added to Aviation Job Search which matches your desired keyword and/or location, you’ll receive an email notifying you of this job.

There are multiple ways to set up a Job Alert;

• Simply navigate to your Dashboard and select “Set up an Alert” under the Email Alerts section; you’ll also be able to edit, manage or switch off your existing Job Alerts using this section.
• You can also create a new alert by performing a job search as normal, and selecting “Send me jobs” at the top of the search results to receive alerts of any new jobs which match this search.
• Finally, you can also create a new alert by navigating to “Job Alerts” on the main navigation bar at the top of your account, and setting up your alert parameters from here.

Firstly, make sure that you are signed into your account, and that you have the minimum required information completed on your account (see below for full details of this). When you have found the job you want to apply for, click Apply and confirm your application, selecting “Use your Aviation Job Search Profile”.

To apply for a job with your Aviation Job Search profile, the below information must be completed on your profile as a minimum:

• Contact details: Name, email, home location, phone number
• Role information: Your job role, no. years of experience, and status (actively looking / open to opportunities)
• Professional experience: Minimum of 1 record of work experience completed

Yes! If you wish to save a job in your account so that you’re able to apply for it later, just select the “Save for later” option at the top of the job advert. You’ll find the job in the Saved Jobs area of your Dashboard.

If you are registering an account with us for the first time, you’ll be asked as part of the registration process if you’d like to upload a CV. Upload your file, and the information from your CV will be imported into your candidate profile, which you can check over and confirm before completing your account creation.

If you already have an account with us, log in and navigate to your Profile. Select the Upload CV option from your Profile page, select the file you want to upload, and you’ll be asked if you want the existing information in your profile to be overwritten with the information from your CV, or not.

We would really recommend that you take the time to fill in as much of your candidate profile as possible, completing all applicable sections. Providing detailed information about your career so far and your goals for the future, as well as taking the time to consider how to best showcase your skills and experience to demonstrate why you are a great candidate, will make it much more likely that recruiters will choose to reach out to you with job and/or interview opportunities.

In addition, the more information you provide up front on your profile will reduce the chance of recruiters approaching you with job opportunities that are irrelevant or unsuitable for you, based on the information they could glean from a very limited candidate profile.

Learn some tips and advice on best practice when creating your candidate profile

In addition to our advice above about making sure you fill in your candidate profile as thoroughly as possible, which is extremely important, we would suggest the following;

• Log into your account regularly and make sure your profile/CV is always kept up to date with your current contact details, as well as details of any new experience you have gained.
• Where possible, include a cover letter with each application, explaining why you are applying and why you would be a good fit for the role. This will help you stand out in the recruiter’s mind and demonstrate that you have taken time and care with your application.
• Create a job alert for the type of role you are searching for. This will notify you as soon as any relevant jobs are added to the site, allowing you to get your application in as early as possible.

Yes; you can upload a maximum of 3 different CV files to your profile, which you can then select from when applying for jobs on Aviation Job Search.

To stop your profile from being visible to recruiters, take the following steps.

• Sign into your account
• Navigate to Settings underneath your username at the top right of your Dashboard
• Navigate to the My Account tab
• Under Application Preferences, switch off the “Make my Profile publicly visible to all recruiters” option.

When we relaunched our site in March 2021, anyone with an existing account had their details moved over to our new platform. Hence you may see a record on your profile of it having been updated around mid-march; but nothing has been changed, your details have just been moved over to the new site.
