Default Resume help

I've applied to a few of the commuters, and am not getting a call/email for an interview. I was wondering if someone could look at my cover letter and resume to see what's wrong. I'm qualified for Mesaba, just am haven't received a call/email from them. Also applied to Piedmont since I heard they hired a few low timers, but nothing as well. I'd appreciate any help. Also, are there any key words I should put in either? Thanks.

how long ago did you apply to Mesaba? Sometimes it takes a month or two to hear anything.

I have 800tt and 50 multi. Applied to mesaba on 5/13 with 738tt and 50 multi. I am hoping to get an interview with them before I'd go to class in august with great lakes and have to sign a training contract. Lakes isn't my first choice, but if it's the only one that comes through I have to take the job.

If you went to college usually they have a career service center or something like that. Most of them will still help you even after graduation. May want to look into that as well, just a thought.

That is more than 60 hrs in 3 weeks! That is a lot of time sitting in that right seat huh? At least you are building some quality time quickly and it won't be too long before you hit that milestone 1,000 TT.

It's because when I send out a resume, I use my old times and don't bother to update them. 60 hours was over 2 months.

Well, that seems pretty dumb. It takes 30 seconds to open your logbook and figure out what the new numbers are, 30 seconds to update your resume and a minute to print it?

Why wouldn't you update your resume when you send it out? When you only have the flight time you do, EVERY hour counts.

50 hours isn't going to make me any better than others. But what do I know.
