SOCIAL MEDIA - TWITTER Don’t forget to look for companies to follow particularly those you would like to work for and to use the # to get the latest jobs and news about the sector. Most airlines and airports have their own Twitter feeds for you to follow. @UWLCareers @AirlineReporter @ttg_digital @SeatGuru @targetjobs @FlightGlobal @candmjobs @Prospectsjobs @IATA @etidnewsdesk @traveltradejobs @AviationShake SOCIAL MEDIA - LINKEDIN For many students, the key to finding a job is all about who you know; therefore it is vital that you start developing your industry contacts and networks. The social media platform, LinkedIn, can help you maintain and develop a useful network of friends and industry specific professionals to support you with your job search. It also allows you to follow companies and connect with alumni from your school and university who already work in your industry. LinkedIn have created a video which outlines how it can support you with your network- ing: http://students.linkedin.com/uk For further information about using social media to support your networking activity, see our Using Social Media to improve your career prospects leaflet. JOB SEEKER EVENTS Attending careers and employment fairs can also be a great opportunity to network with professionals from organisations that operate within the UK or abroad. Each year the university organises a part-time jobs fair, a graduate employment fair and a placement opportunities fair at which you can find out about the latest vacancies in your area and network with employers. Visit: www.uwl.ac.uk/ceee/events for the latest information about upcoming events. APPLICATION PROCESS - GENERAL INFORMATION The airline and airport industry can be tough and getting into the industry can be a lengthy process. Therefore, it is important to start early in your search for employment. Airside passes: for positions which require you to to go airside at the airport (past security), you will be required to have an airside pass. For this, you will ineed to provide a five year checkable reference history. It is advised to have this information as early as possible, so that if you are offered employment, you can provide the information to the prospective employer. You can have academic and professional references and will need to account for all gaps in employment or education with personal references (usually a non-family who has known you for at least 2 years). References are usually what causes delays with airside passes and so to speed things up, get this information gathered as early as possible! Test/Training: many positions at the airport will require you to undergo some tests/ training. Even if you have been offered employment, it is usually subject to passing your training, which can last as long as three weeks. Therefore, do not assume that your employment is official until you have completed the training period successfully.
