Meet the recruitment team in our North America office! Rekeem Wright tells us about his career so far, and what excites him most about aviation.
I’m early in my aviation recruitment career, but I’m really happy with the direction it’s heading. I’ve been with JMC Aviation for just over 11 months now. What attracted me to this industry was the challenge it offers, and being a part of something truly global. It’s completely different from what I studied in school and what I initially envisioned, but I’ve enjoyed diving into something new and expanding my skill set.
What do you enjoy most about your role at JMC Aviation?
The thing I enjoy most about my role is the sense of fulfilment I get when a candidate is happy with the offer I’ve helped them secure. It’s rewarding to see their hard work and my efforts come together in a successful outcome. I am a real people person so speaking to candidates looking for their next role is something I thoroughly enjoy and supporting them in securing the next step in their career is truly rewarding.
What advice would you give a contractor exploring their options for their next role within aviation?
For contractors looking to explore new opportunities within aviation, I’d suggest keeping your resume up to date and staying in regular contact with your recruiter. Networking and maintaining communication can go a long way in finding the right role. Follow JMC Aviation on LinkedIn as we are updating our vacancies consistently.
What makes a resume stand out for you when you’re recruiting for a role?
When reviewing resumes, the most important thing is the use of relevant keywords specific to the role. Tailoring your resume to match the job requirements ensures it gets noticed. While there’s no one-size-fits-all standout feature, those details can make a big difference.
What are the most common roles you are recruiting for?
I’m primarily recruiting for roles like Aircraft Mechanics and Structural Technicians, which are in high demand within the industry, however we do have a variety of positions coming up all the time that we are actively recruiting for.
What is your dream holiday destination and why?
My dream holiday destination is always changing as there are so many places I’d love to explore. Right now, though, I’m really intrigued by the idea of a Eurasia trip. The mix of different cultures, cuisines, and traditions makes it a unique and enriching experience I’d love to have.
