Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 some more just towed her to the AK hangar by 32L light was sooooo bright but gave a nice effect like the aircraft disappearing AAP is a non-EFIS bird. BTW, the reverse throttle on engine 1 was still INOP! There was a large wire tide around it to make sure no captains on his check flight would use them mayday.. mayday!!! checking all the bulbs work! Spare bulbs are located on the F/O sides in the sidewall.. neat little compartment, I'm sure Radzi and TK are familiar with. Sorry, engine cowls only open at night, and I never brought my camera other days, so this is the closest of the engines MAS hangar looking busy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just applied for some vacation work there and got the job. 9768[/snapback] How do you apply? Do you need to write letters? And what are the chances of getting the job? Can also apply to do industrial training for MH also ah? Edited October 12, 2005 by Delwin A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 of course you do, Delwin. CV is a must, not forgetting the cover letter. i tried applying for vacation training with MH (management, though), but they never got back to me - both via email and postal. then i start to wonder if they ever bother about it...

Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 Hey Delwin and Tony. I feel the only way to do it is to be somewhat persistent in your efforts. Get in touch with someone from Human Resources and tell them you argument, and why you want to work there. Email them your CV and Cover letter. Send it by post also! Guarantee yourselves that it will get to their attention! Once you have a contact on the inside learn who are the other people that you need to talk to. I took around 1.5 months of dealing to score this job but it was well worth it.. No pay! but for someone like us, WELL WORTH IT Try your luck and remember to always be polite Be Persistent, NOT Pushy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
