How To Become An Air Traffic Controller








In the article I will explain how you can submit a very strong application for becoming an Air Traffic Controller.

While your application will largely have to stand on its own merits, or the merits of your attached CV, there are a few things that you can do to increase your chances of success. The most important thing that you can do is research. You should ensure that you research the unit with which you are applying, or the company to which you are submitting your CV. Researching a unit shows that you actually care about where you are placed, that you are committed to being part of their structure and more. If possible, arrange to have a tour of the tower prior to submitting your information.

Get to know some of the other controllers and controller assistants in the unit. This will help you appear more like a "real" person, rather than simply another faceless applicant. While the ultimate decision of whether or not to take you on will be based entirely on your qualifications, getting some "face time" with the employees within the unit will only do you good. If you are submitting your CV to more than one unit, try to tour several of them (ideally, you would visit and tour any tower/unit you were considering signing up with).

You may find that an application form will need to be completed too. If this is the case, it is important that you supply as much detail as possible about how you meet the person specification and job description. You must try to provide examples of where you have already gained experience in a previous job that are relative to the role you are applying for. Here are a couple of examples of the type of questions you may get asked to respond to on the application form.

Q. Why do you want this post and what do you have to offer?

Q. Please provide details of the experiences you have gained so far that would beneficial to the role.

Q. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good air traffic controller?

In order to assist you in your preparation, I will now provide you with a brief sample response to the first question:

Q. Why do you want this post and what do you have to offer?

"I have long held a serious desire to become an air traffic controller. From an early age I have had an interest in the industry and believe that the skills, attributes and qualities are ideally matched for the role. I have been researching different organisations and positions and have carefully chosen your company due to the professionalism that you embrace. I have a tremendous amount to offer the post. To begin with, I am highly dedicated, as proven in my previous roles with other organisations. I am hard working and conscientious and am capable of learning a large amount of job relevant information. I have already proven on a number of occasions that I am able to concentrate and apply myself to a given situation. I fully understand how important the role is and would always maintain high levels of discipline and professionalism. Finally, I am flexible, adaptable and a brilliant team worker. If I am fortunate enough to be offered this position, I guarantee that I will be a trustworthy and dedicated employee."

You will notice that this sample response uses keywords and phrases that demonstrate the person is both knowledgeable, enthusiastic and highly motivated. If you use this as a basis for responding to the remaining questions then your chances of success during the selection process will greatly increase.

Information Technology In Day To Day Life By Kiran R Every day, people use computers in new ways. Computers are increasingly affordable; they continue to be more powerful as information-processing tools as well as easier to use. Computers in Business, One of the first and largest applications of computers is keeping and managing business and financial records.

On a smaller scale, many businesses have replaced cash registers with point-of-sale (POS) terminals. These POS terminals not only print a sales receipt for the...

The Relationship Between Science, Technology, and Society Science and technology is the best thing society could ever ask for. Since the industrial revolution in the 18th century science has been in progress.

Infrastructure in the society has grown with the help of science and technology. Modes of transport like electronic railway lines were realized and these actually benefited the society by offering them a better means of transport.

Information Management in Construction From a Lean Perspective

Information Management in Construction From a Lean Perspective Lean thinkers have referred to "ensuring that relevant customer requirements are available in all phases of production, and that they are not lost when progressively transformed into design solutions, production plans and products." Customer requirements are however only part of the information flow in design. Information Waste In Lean there are 7 classic wastes: Over-production Producing more than is needed right now Transportation Movement of product that does not add value Motion Movement of people that does not add value Waiting Idle time created when material, information, people, or equipment is not ready Processing Effort that creates no value from the customer's viewpoint Inventory More materials, parts, or products on hand than is needed right now Defects Work that contains errors, rework, mistak...
