Can you tell me if my pilot job application has been received?
Unfortunately, we can’t confirm that an application has been received. Because we are not the employer or recruitment agency who advertised the pilot job you applied to we don't receive the applications.However, we do carefully make sure that all applications are sent to the correct email address or web site address that our customers give to us. And if you ever wish to check your application has been sent, we've built a section so you can easily do this - see your own 'Application History' in your Candidate Login area.
Once sent, your application will be received by our client and responded to by them. If you do not hear from them we would suggest you can assume you have not been successful. Sometimes this can be because applicants do not meet the absolute minimum requirements for a position.
Can I send you guys at AirlinePilotJobs.com my CV? There are no email addresses on this site for you!

How do I attach a photograph to my CV?
Firstly, it's not likely that an application for a flight deck job requires a photo. We would suggest that unless it's clearly requested, don't put it in your CV. Busy recruiters prefer simple CVs. So the less unnecessary clutter the better.However, perhaps, a job has asked you to send a photograph with your CV? If so, this can be done fairly easily. You need to 'insert' the photo into your CV. You'll then upload that new CV. Here's how:
1. Take a photograph of yourself
2. Save this photograph as a JPEG:
a. Re-size the photograph so it will fit into your CV
b. Make sure the photograph is no more than about 200KB in file size. This is important as some email systems will not allow your CV if it is too big. And an image before you reduce it in size can be massive - up to 10MB! If you don't know how, find a friend who does.
3. Open up your CV in Microsoft Word (our site accepts doc, htm, html, txt, rtf ffiles)
4. Place the cursor where you want your photograph to go
5. Choose Insert from the top menu
6. Choose Picture
7. Choose From File
8. Browse for and select your photograph
9. Choose Insert
10. Save your CV
11. Now follow the instructions above for Uploading your CV Profile
When sending my CV I get an error every time. Why is this?
This is almost certainly because your CV is too large. By that, we mean it is over the permissible file size of 700KB. We restrict large files because our clients do not wish to receive files over 1MB.To find out why your file is too big we recommend you look at two regular problems:
i. you have inserted a very large image. You need to make it smaller.
ii. You have used complicated styling (graphics, borders, colours etc). We think this is unnecessary anyway.
How do I know how large my CV is?
To work out how large any file is (your CV, an image etc) you need to find it in your PC’s system. Put your cursor over it, right click your mouse, choose properties. It will tell you the size.I still get an error and my file is definitely beneath 750K. What’s the problem now?
As stated on the site we can only accept certain file types. These are doc, htm, html, txt, rtf. Microsoft Word is the most common word processor in the world. With Word you can create doc and rtf files. Notepad will create txt files.If your CV is saved as a different file type you will need to open it, click on file, choose save as, and in File Type choose doc, htm, html, txt or rtf (rich text format).
