Hello I am an avionics apprentice and I recently got approved to write my CARS exam. I got laid off back in October of 2009 from exeltech, they later went bankrupt. I am finding it extremely difficult to find a job. The few jobs I've had an interview for I always ended up losing out to a licensed guy or someone with zero experience. I am currently in Montreal but originally from Toronto, and willing to relocate to most places in Canada. Does anyone have any advice or any hints on who I can apply to. I am extremely stressed out and depressed. Any advice and/or leads would be greatly appreciated. You can also email me at ddgaldames@gmail.com if you want to send me something private. Thank you.

Try SkyService, I know a few from Exeltech who went there. I don't know their situation or experience but all this is in Montreal.

Thanks man I will try them, I appreciate it.

skyservice went out of business. Try places up north. You won't really find anything in the big cities now.

Canjet operates a lot of aircrafts out of yul during winter and spring.

maybe check out Kenn Borek in Calgary - they have their own Avionics Department and are always looking for guys.

Mad Flying Ace
