Looking to work in the USA
 

Hi Guys,

I am keen to come over to the US and work. P-Cars are cheaper houses are bigger and interest rates are way lower than here in Australia.

I am an ex-Military Pilot with a Computer Science Degree in Software Engineering and I can organise the Visa (CV available at www.hallys.net)

So any leads would be appreciated.



Steve

Look in Alaska for helo pilot jobs. Now is a good time to look as things will be opening up in 2-3 months when it gets warmer. Same in the Rockies if you want to stay in the flying field.

PS Very few people over here know what a CV is. Its called a resume on this side of the pond.

Where are the software guys?

Do you have contacts with any US contractors in the ME? You might some good leads w/folks like KBR (even if they are the antiChrist to some board members)

Peter,

I have some contacts in KBR but they are overseas now. Most of their contracts are outside the country that I know of.

Steve,

Did you instruct at Riyadh Military in the PC? Saw Saudi on your information. I was based there for a while and hangared in the BAE hanger with McDonnell Douglas and Boeing.

PM'd you. I also know some guys who are Chief Pilots at EMS outfits...VERY hard group to break into (and the starting pay is low). I may do it after I retire from the Navy just because I love the challenge, also part time!

SH,

I did it for over 15 years and loved medivac. Yes, it is tough to get into but a good job and rewarding to boot.

Big difference and flying is one thing and flying while saving someone's life is another. I still miss it...

No better job...my best flights have been rescues. :)

Steve - Come on over, but you'll be leaving God's country. I've stayed in Port Macquarie a few times. Great seafood buffet at the LawnBowling Club on the south end of town....

Yes I spent 4 1/2 years instructing in Riyadh on the PC9, the last 12 months I was writing software for the RSAF.

If you were in the BAe Hanger then we probably crossed paths.


Steve

LOL yes you are right it is a beautiful little coastal town, but the pace is a bit slow for me. I'm not ready to retire yet! And when I take the 930 out of the garage people start to talk.

Steve: go to www.S3.com and email me (jholt@s3.com) if interested. I'll shoot your CV around and see if there's interest.

Jack

Go see if the Flight Simulator team at Microsoft Games Studios is hiring developers.

Jack thanks for the link, give me a few hours to rewrite my resume and I'll email it to you.

Cheers


Steve

Sure I'll check it out. That would be a great job to tell people at parties about.

Steve

the flight simulator job sounds like a hell of a good time. the solutions we develop are much more mundane, although unique. but hell, the developers go to hooters at least 1 time every two weeks for a wings and pitcher lunch. good group.

wow good info for you, just had to chime in as I will be ready to retire from the military in a year or so...so this may be a way I look for help then as well. Good on ya Pelicans.
