With the national unemployment rate topping 9.6 percent, no one
is immune to the potential need to look for a job, even those with
degrees and experience. Jetcareers website is doing their part to pair
professionals and employers in the aviation field through their annual
Aviation Career Expo, hosted Monday, October 18 at the Palms Resort and
Casino in ?It has really been quite the challenge planning this event on a number of levels,? says Doug Taylor, event coordinator and Boeing 767 pilot flying international routes for a major airline. ?Our entire staff consists of two people, myself and my bride Kristine Taylor, who has been laid off and delayed her search for employment in the civil engineering field to help aviation professionals find employment in a very tight job market. There have certainly been ups and downs, triumphs and tragedies, but overall I think we?ve succeeded in assembling a very comprehensive group of employment recruiters.? |
