Aneroid Press Resume Service
A resume written by someone who can read your logbook.
Most resume writers have never seen an 8710 and do not know what PIC time means. We read airman certification standards for a living, and we write for everyone this industry employs.
Writing only No placement. No applications sent on your behalf. Full refund before we start writing.
Whatever you did before
Your last twenty years are not a gap. They are the part nobody knows how to write.
Every one of the people below already has the record. What they do not have is a page that puts it in front of an aviation reader in the words that reader already uses.
The part nobody tells you
A resume is not how you get a job. It is how you reach the next rung.
The seat you are applying for is not the destination. It is the rung that decides how quickly you reach the one above it, and the record you put on paper now is what the next three employers will read you by.
A page that undersells your hours does not cost you one interview. It costs you the time it takes to climb back to where you already were.
Career changers
You ran a crew, drove a truck, taught school, served twenty, fixed diesels. Somewhere a voice says none of it counts and you are starting from zero at forty-five.
You are not. A chief pilot is looking for judgment under pressure, responsibility for other people and someone who finishes what they start. You have twenty years of evidence. It just needs to be written for the person reading it.
Aviation is far bigger than the flight deck
Dispatchers, ops controllers, avionics techs, quality inspectors, parts buyers, maintenance controllers, SMS coordinators, airport operations officers.
If your work touches aviation, this is written for you. Part 121, 135, 145, 139 and 91K each have their own vocabulary and their own idea of what competence looks like. We write to the operation, not to a template.
We speak the language the reader speaks
A general service sees “1,180 PIC” and writes a bullet about leadership. It buries your instrument time and flattens a type rating into a skills list.
We will never invent an hour you have not flown or a rating you do not hold. Employers verify, and an inflated logbook is worse for you than a plain one. What we do instead is aim the honest record at the operation reading it.
This is not our rule
The federal government tells applicants exactly what we tell them.
The National Archives publishes a guide for people applying to federal jobs. It carries a short list of what to do and what not to do, and two lines of that list are the whole argument for writing a new document every time.
The same federal guide describes building one comprehensive resume first and then cutting each application out of it, deleting what does not fit the posting and rewording what does. That is precisely how this service is built, and it is the reason every application after the first one costs less than the first.
- DoSpend time tailoring your resume for each position.
- Don’tUse the same resume for every application.
Both lines are quoted word for word from NARA’s Federal Resume Guide (opens in a new tab), 2025 edition. The Department of Transportation, which is the department the FAA belongs to, says the same thing to its own applicants: “Tailor your resume for the position of interest” and “Pay attention to ‘key’ words.” Read that guidance (opens in a new tab).
We are not going to quote you a percentage. The tailoring statistics in circulation come from companies selling resume software, with no study behind them that anyone can read, and we are not willing to put a number on this page that we cannot show you the source for.
Four forms, every order
You do not get to choose how they ask for it.
Handed across a table on Tuesday. Mailed to an operator that still wants paper. Uploaded to an airline portal. Pasted into a federal form that will not take a file at all. One person, one week, four different documents.
Handed over, or mailed
A print-ready PDF with real margins and a letterhead, built to look right on paper in a folder.
PDF, print readyUploaded to a portal
An editable Word file, the format employers' own guidance says parses most accurately, built with nothing that breaks a parser.
DOCX, editablePasted into a form
Plain text, because some systems take no file at all. The federal hiring site tells applicants to save to plain text first.
TXT, plain textSent by email
The letter as the attachment, plus a short note for the body of the message. We write both.
Attachment plus noteWhy one file cannot do all four
The document that looks best on paper is built from exactly the elements that break inside a parser.
Columns, tables and anything in a header are what make a printed page readable. They are the first things dropped or scrambled when software reads it instead of a person, and you never see it happen.
That is not a problem you can format your way out of. It is a reason to hold more than one version, and you should not have to build the other three yourself.
What it costs
Three packages. One price each, paid once.
No subscription, no retainer, and nothing billed after the work is delivered.
Resume review
$79
3 business days from a complete brief
You already have a resume and you want to know what an aviation reader will do with it.
- Written review of the resume you send us, against how aviation employers read
- What to cut, what to move and what is missing, point by point
- No document is written. This is feedback, not a rewrite
- Delivered as a PDF you keep, so you can work through it at your own pace
- Covers wording, ordering and what an aviation reader looks for first
- The full 79 dollars comes off your first application if you order one within 60 days
Your first application
$249
5 business days from a complete brief
You have a posting in hand. This builds your master document and the first application from it.
- One resume, written against the one posting you send us
- One cover letter, matched to that same posting
- One email note for the body of the message, written for you, not a template
- Your master document, the source every later application is cut from
- Every document in four files: print PDF, editable Word, plain text and the email note
- Two rounds of revisions on everything, within 30 days
- Unlocks the 99 dollar rate on every application after this one
Each application after
$99
3 business days from a complete brief
Every posting gets its own documents. Once we hold your master, each new one costs less.
- One resume, rewritten against the new posting
- One cover letter and one email note to match
- Cut from the master we already hold, which is why it is 99 and not 149
- The same four files for every document
- Two rounds of revisions within 30 days
- Your master stays on file, so there is nothing to re-send and no intake to redo
- Order one whenever a posting comes up. No bundle, no subscription, no expiry
Every package is a single payment and every one sits below the $300 per transaction limit that California sets for a resume service. The most expensive thing we sell is $249.
Why the second one costs less
The expensive part of a first order is not the resume. It is building the master: reading your whole record, working out what leads and what gets cut. Once we hold that, a new posting means rewriting against the posting rather than starting from a blank page. That is the entire reason the rate drops, and it is why there is nothing to subscribe to and no bundle to buy.
Each application is bought on its own, when the posting comes up. Nothing is charged until you order it.
How it runs
Two deadlines, both ours to keep and yours to start.
Most of what goes wrong with a service like this is silence. So both clocks are written down, both are short, and neither one of them can run out without you hearing from us first.
You buy a package
Payment is taken once. Nothing recurring, no card kept on file.
You send the brief within 14 days
The form below builds it. If we have not heard from you by day 14 we will email you twice; your order does not expire and your money is not forfeited, but the clock on our turnaround does not start until the brief arrives.
We write it
Three or five business days from a COMPLETE brief, depending on the package. If we have to come back with questions, we tell you the same day and the clock pauses.
You get two rounds of revisions
Within 30 days of delivery. Say what is wrong and we fix it. We do not count an email as a round; a round is a set of changes you send us.
What we need from you
Everything we ask for, before you pay a cent.
Fill this in and it builds your brief. Nothing is sent anywhere from this page: you save the file and it comes to us with your order, so you can see exactly what you are handing over.
Already have a resume? Send it.
Strongly recommended, even if you think it is out of date or badly written. It saves you retyping dates, employers and titles, and it shows us how you currently describe yourself, which is often the most useful thing in the file.
We read it for the facts, not the framing. We do not take your old document and tidy it. If we did you would get your own wording back with better punctuation, which is not what you are paying for.
Take your Social Security number, date of birth and street address off it first. We do not need any of them, and an older resume often carries all three. We keep your file for 90 days after we deliver, then we delete it. We do not forward it to anyone and we do not keep a copy.
The job you are going after
Your qualifications
Background
The part other services leave vague
Revisions, refunds and what we do not do.
The limits are here, in plain words, before you pay rather than after. If any of this is going to be a problem, we would rather you found out now.
Revisions
Two rounds, within 30 days of delivery. A round is a set of changes you send us, not a single email. We will tell you plainly if something you ask for would make the document worse, and then do it anyway if you still want it.
Refunds
Full refund any time before we start writing. Once a first draft is delivered, the fee is earned and we work the revisions instead. There is no partial-refund arithmetic and no restocking fee.
What we do not do
We do not find you work, submit applications on your behalf, contact employers for you, or have access to jobs that are not publicly posted. We are not an employment agency and we do not offer interview coaching or career counseling. We write the document. What happens after you send it is between you and the employer.
What we will not write
We will not list a certificate, rating, type or hour total that you do not hold. Aviation employers verify, and a resume that inflates a logbook is worse than no resume. If a number in your brief looks wrong we will ask about it.
One posting at a time
The job you want is posted now. The resume for it does not exist yet.
The document that works for a Part 121 first officer opening is not the document that works for a maintenance controller, and sending one to both is how good records get passed over. Every application we write is built against a single posting.
- Nothing is charged until you order. The brief is free and sends nothing from the page.
- Writing only. We do not find work, contact employers or send anything on your behalf.
- Full refund before we start writing, in plain words on this page rather than in a policy you have to hunt for.
