The curriculum vitae is far more than an administrative document; it serves as your professional identity. In a demanding and structured sector like aviation, a clear, well-constructed, and professionally tailored CV can make all the difference. At Hexagone Aviation School, we pay particular attention to this crucial document, guiding our students to strategically and professionally present their career trajectories.
Whether applying to an airline, a private operator, an aeroclub, or even for an internship or observation mission, your CV often forms the initial impression. It therefore merits a rigorous, meticulous, and personalized approach.
Every student possesses a unique background, journey, and specific ambition. This is why our educational team and career integration unit offer tailored support for the drafting of your CV.
Our advisors assist you in:
- identifying the most pertinent elements of your background (training, experience, skills),
- structuring the information for quick readability by a recruiter,
- adapting the tone, format, and vocabulary to aviation industry standards,
- enhancing your profile, even if you are still undergoing training.
We also account for cultural differences when drafting CVs intended for international applications (Europe, Middle East, Asia, etc.).
The aviation domain operates with its own distinct codes. A CV intended for an airline or an industry entity is not drafted in the same manner as a generalist CV. Recruiters seek precise information, such as:
- your qualification level (PPL, CPL, ATPL, MCC, etc.),
- your total flight hours, detailed by type (PIC, dual, simulator, IFR, night, etc.),
- your aircraft type proficiency (single-engine, multi-engine aircraft, specific types),
- your language proficiency certifications (FCL.055, TOEIC, ICAO Level, etc.),
- your transferable skills (CRM, leadership, stress management, etc.),
- your medical certification, particularly the class of certificate held,
- and your immediate or deferred availability.
We assist you in presenting these elements clearly and professionally, integrating them into a coherent format, in English or French as required.
Through our internal platform, each student has access to:
- pre-formatted CV templates, validated by industry recruiters,
- practical guides to assist you in completing each section,
- anonymized CV examples from former students who have successfully secured employment,
- a foundation of bilingual professional vocabulary (French / English).
You can thus download, customize, and enhance your own CV, leveraging the experience of those who have preceded you.
We regularly offer CV review sessions, either individually or in small groups, to:
- correct linguistic or formatting errors,
- refine phrasing and enhance the impact of formulations,
- tailor your CV to a specific job offer or recruiter type,
- boost your online visibility (PDF CV, as well as LinkedIn and job platforms).
These interactive sessions also provide an opportunity to refine your presentation pitch, enabling you to articulate your profile effectively in both written and oral formats.
Crafting an effective CV also involves assessing your career trajectory. This process often allows you to:
- clarify your objectives,
- recognize your strengths,
- anticipate interview questions.
Therefore, we integrate this approach into a comprehensive career preparation program, aligning it with other components such as job search strategies, cover letter writing, and interview preparation.
At Hexagone, you are never alone in crafting your CV. We guide you step-by-step, with diligence and support, to transform this document into a significant asset for your career journey.
Our support is founded on three pillars:
- professional expertise derived from the aviation industry,
- a personalized approach tailored to your profile,
- and the provision of practical tools to enhance efficiency.
Whether you are currently in training or already graduated, our team remains available to help you highlight your potential and maximize your chances of success.
