Job seeking tip #451
Don't send coverletters typed up on your iPhone. Or if you do, spend some time to proof read them. Autocorrect can make for some awkward reading. While changing my job description to the Chief Fright Instructor bears some consideration, I'm not sure why I would be looking to hire herd workers, maybe you were intending to apply to that ranch instead.

Job seeking tip #1 should be "Proof read your resume 5 times, then ask somebody else to proof read it. Then edit down your cover letter by at least 25%, then proof read again."

So for serious guys, I have to tell my Cheif Pilot soon did I get the job?

Actually (unless you were tongue in cheek, which is always possible?) "You're saying....." is correct.MCB wrote:... YOUR saying .... wrote:So you're saying I didn't get the job?![]()

Also, "There going to shoot there cat for pissing on there lawn over there" only has ONE correct "there". If you're not sure of which one is correct, you need a good proof reader to read your letter.
The "children of the magenta line" don't tend to be very good at the English language. Regardless of your flying background, if you don't care enough to write a "correct" letter, the shredder gets your resume.
Had a chap show up for an interview in his leather Seneca jacket......ya think we hired him? When pigs fly!
