Gomane:

I have googled the term which is the first thing I do in any career area I want to learn more about and/or coach my clients about and found a great website.

Others are as follows:

http://www.recruitaviation.com/Jobs_List.asp?CAT_ID=5
www.indeed.com
www.simplyhired.com

This role appears to function as a member of labor union and enjoys the perks that come with that association.

A sample of job knowledge, skills, and abilities are as follows and should be highlighted in your resume upon application.  If you do not have these types of skills, you should look to acquire them in your current work environments that you are in now or review your previous work experiences to extract these competencies.

* Valid driver's license

* Minimum of 18 years of age

* Must be able to provide proof of right to work in U.S.

* Ability to lift 75 pounds, bend, kneel, squat repeatedly

* Must be able to fluently speak, read, write and understand English

* Strong PC Skills

* Ability to work nights, weekends, holidays, varied schedules

Claiming nothing but success in all of your career endeavors,
