AirlineJobFinder Showing Job Seekers the Way to Aviation Industry Careers











Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 8, 2006

It’s no secret that many U.S. airlines have fallen upon financial hard times, but aviation security and safety concerns have created jobs that the industry cannot fill. AirlineJobFinder is a new feature-rich website that allows job seekers access aviation industry job postings, create a profile, browse hundreds of employer profiles, and learn about airline careers and other aviation industry jobs. AirlineJobFinder is a subsidiary of M&L Research, the leading provider of industry-specific job search and hiring solutions.

“AirlineJobFinder goes beyond the traditional online ‘job board.’ Of course, we enable users to easily publish resumes and cover letters and to view current job postings. Then we take it a step beyond by packaging those features with comprehensive aviation industry information,” says Kevin Lutgarten, Vice President of AirlineJobFinder. “After creating an account a job seekers gains access to nearly 200 pages of top-shelf aviation industry employment information, including interviews with industry veterans. The guidance and advice is invaluable.”

At the core of AirlineJobFinder is its Job Center. Here registered users establish a detailed personal profile and their post resume and cover letter. They can search and view open jobs and browse hundreds of employer profiles. There’s also an extensive collection of original, current information describing aviation oriented careers: flight attendant jobs, airport jobs, aircraft maintenance, airport security screeners, air traffic controllers, federal air marshals, aerospace engineering, and commercial pilot careers. There are nearly 100 unique position descriptions with information about pay, responsibilities, challenges, necessary training, and more.

Job postings are provided by aviation industry hiring managers, who utilize a suite of free tools to help them fulfill human capital needs. The system is additive and does not supplant an employer’s primary, in-house employment website. “We think hiring managers want to use our system to raise awareness about their company and reach a broader, targeted audience of job seekers. We provide those things along with a seamless pass-through of prospective applicants to an employer’s own application and tracking system,” explains Lutgarten.

Employer accounts include unlimited job postings, unlimited use of the Job Seeker Resume Database, and a detailed company profile.

“Our mission with AirlineJobFinder is two fold. There are many people who aspire to work in the aviation industry. We want to show them the broad range of opportunities and convey that it’s possible to find work despite what they may have read about the industry being in a downswing. Next, we’re working to connect a quality pool of job seekers with hiring managers through an easy-to-use, streamlined system,” says Lutgarten. Aviation industry employers and recruiters pay no fees to post jobs; therefore the value proposition is tremendous.

Lightspeed Aviation Foundation’s Grants Top $ 100,000 for 2010










Lake Oswego, OR (Vocus/PRWEB) January 27, 2011

Twenty aviation-related charities are the beneficiaries of over $ 100,000 in grants awarded by the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation for 2010. Midnight, February 11th is the deadline for existing or new aviation charities that may want to apply to be beneficiaries of the 2011 season.

In April 2010, the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation submitted twenty award finalists to the aviation community. Pilots then selected their favorites among these charities by voting online or designating a portion of new Lightspeed Aviation headset purchases,

In November, $ 50,000 was shared at the AOPA Summit Pilot Choice Awards between the five finalists with the highest number of online votes. This week, additional gifting in excess of $ 50,000 was distributed among all twenty charities based on the amount designated by new Lightspeed Aviation customers at the time they registered their product.

“What’s particularly unique about the foundation is that we do not ask or accept financial gifts to fund the foundation,” according to Allan Schrader, Founder and President of Lightspeed Aviation. “Perhaps best of all, it is the pilots who choose where the money goes.”

The 2010 Lightspeed Aviation Foundation recipients included:

Angel Flight Central

Angel Flight East

Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic

Angel Flight™ Southeast/Mercy Flight™Southeast

Angel Flight West

AOPA Foundation

Brigade Air

Build A Plane

Civil Air Patrol

EAA Young Eagles

Experience Aviation

Helicopter Foundation Int’l

Heritage Flight Foundation

JAARS

Lindbergh Foundation

Mission Aviation Fellowship

NIFA: National Intercollegiate Flying Assoc.

Ninety Nines

Veterans Airlift

Wings of Hope

Based in Lake Oswego, Oregon since 1996, Lightspeed Aviation has emerged as the innovation leader in aviation headsets for the professional or general aviation pilot. From comfort, clarity, technological advances to customer support, Lightspeed Aviation and its signature headset Zulu, have become the premium standard.
