An Ode to Aircraft Mechanics: An STS Technical Services’ Poem

STS Technical Services

In hangars vast, where engines roar,

Aircraft mechanics toil and soar.

With wrench in hand and oil-stained grace,

They navigate each metal space.

They battle bolts that won’t let go,

And tackle leaks that like to flow.

With puzzled brows and sleeves rolled high,

They never fear to touch the sky.

Oh, the tales they tell of nuts and screws,

And how they chase that last oil ooze.

From dawn ’til dusk, they work their might,

To keep those planes in flawless flight.

They dance with wires, cables too,

As grease and grime become their hue.

They whisper secrets to each part,

And mend the pieces of the heart.

The tools they wield, both old and new,

Are like an orchestra’s every cue.

With hammer’s beat and ratchet’s song,

They fix what’s broken, right the wrong.

Noisy engines, jets that scream,

Are like the soundtrack to their dream.

They troubleshoot with furrowed brows,

While jet fuel scents their work-worn clothes.

And when the skies are clear and bright,

They watch their birds take off in flight.

With gleaming eyes, they wave goodbye,

Their hands creating pathways to the sky.

So here’s to you, mechanics bold,

With stories countless, yet untold.

You keep us soaring, safe and sound,

As you work your magic all around.

Unveiling the Circus of Resume Writing: A Hilarious Journey into the Absurd

Career Advice, STS Technical Services

Resume writing, the great spectacle of the job-hunting circus, is a perplexing dance where we all put on our best show to impress potential employers. It’s a land of peculiar expectations and mind-boggling contradictions, leaving job seekers scratching their heads and wondering if they accidentally wandered into a parallel universe. Join us on a comical journey as we unveil the absurdity of resume writing and laugh at the circus acts we all perform to stand out.

The Tightrope of Brevity and Detail

Picture This: A tightrope walker balancing on a thin line, trying to showcase all their skills while maintaining brevity. Yes, that’s us attempting to condense a lifetime of accomplishments into a single-page resume. We’re expected to list our entire professional history, but wait! Keep it short and concise! No more than one page, please!

“Dear employer, I am a multitalented, highly skilled unicorn with 20 years of experience in a single page.”

The Circus of Keywords

Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round for the great keyword extravaganza! Want to pass the magical Applicant Tracking System (ATS)? Prepare to stuff your resume with buzzwords like “synergy,” “go-getter,” and “ninja.” Apparently, the more unrelated keywords you sprinkle, the better your chances of being noticed. Who knew ATS was secretly run by word-hungry parrots?

The Acrobat of Job Titles

Have you ever seen someone juggle job titles like flaming batons? Well, resume writers do it with flair! In the land of absurdity, a “Customer Service Representative” might transform into a “Client Happiness Guru,” and a “Janitor” could become a “Sanitation Engineer.” Apparently, fancy titles can turn mundane tasks into mind-blowing feats of professional prowess.

The Clownish Font Selection

Step right up, folks, and behold the mesmerizing world of font choices! From classic Arial to funky Comic Sans, the right font can make or break your circus act. Some claim that using a quirky font showcases creativity, while others swear by the professional allure of traditional fonts. In this bizarre realm, even the most astute resume advice experts can’t decide whether to laugh or cry.

The Grand Illusion of the Employment Gap

Now, prepare to witness the grand illusion of the employment gap! Magically transform a year of soul-searching or an extended vacation into a “period of self-enlightenment” or “international exploration.” Abracadabra! No more gaps, just an epic adventure to impress hiring managers. As the saying goes, “What employment gap?”

Conclusion

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve explored the absurd world of resume writing, where circus acts of brevity and detail, keyword stuffing, acrobat-like job titles, clownish font choices, and grand employment gap illusions reign supreme. In this whimsical land, job seekers must become masters of disguise and wordsmithing, all while maintaining a straight face.

As you embark on your next resume-writing adventure, remember that beneath the absurdity lies a valuable lesson; authenticity and honesty are the real showstoppers. Employers appreciate genuine, well-crafted resumes that showcase your skills and accomplishments without sacrificing your unique personality.

So, don your proverbial clown nose, embrace the quirky font, and dazzle them with your acrobatic achievements. After all, in the circus of resume writing, we’re all just a bunch of lovable clowns trying to stand out in the most amusing way possible.

Happy job hunting!

The Wild and Wacky World of Recruiting: An Unfiltered Look Inside

Being a recruiter is like riding a roller coaster that never stops. It’s a whirlwind of resumes, interviews, and the occasional oddball candidate that leaves you scratching your head. Join us on this hilarious journey as we dive into the comical side of being a recruiter. Buckle up, because things are about to get wildly real!

The Resume Wonderland:

Recruiters have mastered the art of decoding resumes. We’ve seen it all, from the “professional cat whisperer” to the “world champion in procrastination.” We secretly hope for an occasional superhero or a Jedi knight in our candidate pool, but alas, those are as rare as a unicorn’s sneeze. Yet, we never fail to be amused by the creative ways people try to make their experience with paperclips and glitter sound impressive.

The Phone Screen Shuffle:

If you’re a recruiter, you know that scheduling phone screens can be an Olympic sport. You’d think that arranging a call with a candidate would be a straightforward task, but it’s more like solving a Rubik’s Cube. You’ve got time zones to consider, candidates who mysteriously disappear at the last minute, and those who seem to mistake their phone for a potato. And let’s not forget about the classic “I forgot we had a call scheduled” excuse. We could write a book filled with these shenanigans!

The Interview Circus:

Ah, the joy of interviews! It’s like watching a variety show with surprise acts. From the overly confident candidate who thinks they’re auditioning for a stand-up comedy gig to the one who brings their pet lizard along for moral support, you never know what you’re going to get. And let’s not overlook the awkward moments when a candidate accidentally spills coffee on themselves or tries to high-five you at the end of the interview. We’re professionals, but we have our fair share of belly laughs.

The Phantom Candidate:

Have you ever experienced a case of the phantom candidate? You spend hours going through resumes, conducting phone screens, and even setting up an interview only for the candidate to vanish into thin air. It’s like they were abducted by aliens or joined a secret society of ninjas. We’ve come up with various theories, ranging from them being trapped in a parallel dimension to enrolling in an intensive clown college. The truth is out there, but we’re too busy laughing to find it.

The Office Party Potpourri:

Recruiters know how to let loose at office parties. After dealing with the roller coaster ride of recruiting, we embrace the opportunity to dance like no one is watching (even though everyone is). We have the best stories to share, from the guy who mistook the HR manager for a pinata to the epic karaoke showdown where candidates outperformed the employees. Office parties remind us that we’re all in this crazy journey together.

That’s a Wrap:

Being a recruiter is an adventure filled with unforgettable characters, ridiculous situations, and an endless supply of laughter. We navigate the wild and wacky world of recruiting with a sense of humor, cherishing the moments that make us laugh until our sides ache. So, if you’re a recruiter, embrace the absurdity, keep your spirits high, and enjoy the ride. And remember, behind every funny story is a lesson waiting to be learned or a hilarious memory to treasure.

Top-Five Tips to Help You Land the Job of Your Dreams

Career Advice, STS Aviation Group, STS Technical Services

Let me start by saying that I am not a recruiter. In fact, I’ve never been a recruiter, and I have no plans of becoming a recruiter anytime soon. I am, however, an expert when it comes to helping recruiters do their jobs better. Let me explain.

My name is Bryan Shaw. My team and I handle all of the marketing / advertising for STS Technical Services; a top-100 staffing firm in the United States that hires across the aerospace, defense, industrial and manufacturing industries. There’s a lot that goes into my role at STS, but the part that’s relevant to my expert claim has to do with the time and effort I expel promoting jobs and finding quality candidates using a myriad of online tools.

Over the years I have helped place more than 10,000 people into successful careers all across the country. I have viewed and edited a countless number of resumes, and I know what it takes to nab the attention of recruiters and ultimately get hired.

Now that you know a little about me and what it is that I do, let me borrow your time for the next few minutes while I show you five surefire ways to help you land the job of your dreams. Are you ready? Here goes.

1.) Be Professional & Active on Social Media

It’s 2023, and social media is ingrained in our culture. If you want to be taken seriously as a job seeker than you need to take your social media profiles seriously.

Studies have shown that nearly 75% of all employers view a candidate’s personal social media pages before making a hiring decision. This means that the content found therein can make or break your chances of getting the job. Knowing this, it’s important to ensure that every social media platform that you’re on exudes and heir of professionalism from top to bottom (yes, that includes Facebook and Instagram).

In addition to making your social media profiles reflect your professional persona, it helps to engage with content being shared by the company you’d like to work for. Don’t go crazy and comment on every status update and tweet they throw out (you’ll look a little stalker-ish if you do). Simply show an active and recurring interest from time to time, and you’ll soon reap the benefits.

2.) Your LinkedIn Profile Isn’t an Online Resume; It’s a Personal Marketing Tool

If your LinkedIn profile reads more like a resume, you’re making a huge mistake.

Here’s how you can fix that.

Add a professional looking photo
Be authentic
Use images, links and video
Make sure your contact info is easily found
Be personable, but not too personable

A successful LinkedIn profile will not only highlight your professional experience, it will also give employers a glimpse into who you are as a person. No one wants to hire a face – unless you’re a model – and that means you need to inject some personality into your profile. There’s nothing wrong with letting an employer know that you’re an avid sports fan who loves to play golf and fish on weekends. At the end of the day, employers want to hire people they can relate to, not robots who clock in, clock out, collect their paychecks and go home.

3.) Create a Resume that Stands Out

The old days of printed black ink on white paper are all but gone. Today’s resume demands a little panache, if you will, or at least a little flare that will help you “pop” off the page. Here are some tips on how to accomplish that.

First, check out Canva. It’s a cloud-based graphic design program that’s so easy to use that you may soon quit your current job to become a graphic designer. I’m not kidding. The best part about Canva for job seekers is that it’s a FREE platform with hundreds of pre-populated resume templates that allow you to create an amazing looking CV in a lot less time than you might think.

Second, when is the last time you really dove into Microsoft Word? All modern versions of Word have resume template options for you to choose from, so if Canva intimidates you a little bit, open up a new document, select a unique resume template in the back-end and get work.

Last but not least, let’s talk about resume length. In other words, how long should your resume be? The answer to that question is easy though you may not like it. Are you ready? Your resume should never be longer than one page. If it is, you’re trying too hard. Recruiters will spend about 6 seconds (not kidding) looking at a resume before deciding to learn more or move on. That’s not a lot of time. Keep your resume concise and to the point. In other words, don’t use 20 words when you can say the same thing using seven.

4.) Learn As Much as You Can About the Company & Position Before You Interview

When it comes to landing the job of your dreams, knowledge is power. Those that have it will always steal the job away from those that do not. Here’s why.

By taking the time to learn about the company you’re applying to work for, you’ll be able to spin that newly-found knowledge back to the hiring manger(s) who will guide you throughout the interview process. If you show a genuine interest in the company and the products / services they offer, that interest will ooze out of you in the form of passion. And, like it or not, employers want to hire passionate employees; people who will go above and beyond in an effort to excel. Choose not to heed this advice and do so at your own peril.

5.) Help Recruiters Help You

Recruiters get paid to find you work. In fact, many of them get paid handsomely, particularly if the jobs they deal with require very specific skill sets. Knowing this, recruiters aren’t magicians. They can’t pull magic employment bunnies from an old-school top hat and land you the job of your dreams without a little help. So, the more that you’re willing to help a recruiter get to know and understand who you are and what exactly it is that you’re looking for, the more capable they’ll become at helping you land the job you’ve always wanted.

In addition to being helpful to recruiters, you also need to establish a strong human connection with them if you can. Think about it this way. Who would you be more willing to go to bat for; a person whom you barely know or someone you have a decent relationship with? The right answer is the latter, and if you disagree with me on this, you may want to return to the top of this article and try again.

Conclusion

So you want to land the job of your dreams. That’s awesome! Bright futures start with a single step forward, and this article has been designed to help you get moving in the right direction. I hope you’ve enjoyed it, and I thank you all for taking the time.

The Skilled Labor Shortage in Aircraft Maintenance Requires Immediate Solutions

News, STS Aviation Group, STS Technical Services

The aviation industry is an essential part of the global economy, providing transportation services for people and goods across the world. However, one of the most significant challenges facing the industry today is the shortage of skilled labor in aircraft maintenance. This shortage has been a persistent problem for many years, and it continues to pose a significant threat to the safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of the industry.

Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) are the skilled workers responsible for keeping airplanes in top condition. They perform maintenance, repairs, and inspections to ensure the safety and reliability of aircraft. AMTs work in a complex and demanding environment, requiring extensive training, knowledge, and experience. The shortage of these skilled workers is a global problem that is affecting the aviation industry in many regions, most notably the United States, Europe, and Asia.

One reason for the shortage of skilled labor is the aging workforce. Many experienced AMTs are approaching retirement age, and there are not enough younger workers to replace them. This demographic shift is a long-term problem that is challenging to solve given the extensive training and experience required to become an AMT.

Another reason for the shortage is the lack of awareness and interest among young people in pursuing careers in aircraft maintenance. Many students are not aware of the opportunities available in the aviation industry, and others may not be interested in working in a technically challenging and demanding environment. As a result, the pool of potential candidates for aircraft maintenance positions is limited.

The shortage of skilled labor in aircraft maintenance has significant implications. One of the most immediate consequences is the increased cost of maintenance, repairs, and inspections. With fewer AMTs available, the demand for their services is high, and the cost of hiring them has risen. This increase in costs is passed on to airlines and ultimately to passengers, leading to higher ticket prices.

In addition to higher costs, the shortage of skilled Aircraft Maintenance Technicians can also affect safety. AMTs play a crucial role in ensuring the overall safety and reliability of aircraft. Without enough qualified technicians, the industry may experience an increase in maintenance-related incidents or accidents.

To address the shortage of skilled labor in aircraft maintenance, the industry is taking several steps. One approach is to increase awareness among young people about the opportunities available as an aircraft maintenance professional. Programs such as career fairs, mentorships, and apprenticeship programs aim to attract and retain new talent in the field.

Another approach is to improve the efficiency and productivity of existing AMTs. Technological advancements, such as augmented reality and artificial intelligence, are being developed to aid AMTs in their work, making it easier and more efficient to perform maintenance, repairs, and inspections. This technology can help reduce the workload and enhance the quality of work performed by AMTs.

In conclusion, the shortage of skilled labor in aircraft maintenance is a significant challenge facing the aviation industry. This shortage is the result of an aging workforce and a lack of interest among young people in pursuing careers in aircraft maintenance. The industry must take proactive steps to address the shortage and ensure that there are enough skilled technicians to maintain the safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of the commercial aviation industry.

Awards, STS Aviation Group, STS Technical Services

Brookfield, WI, February 1, 2023 – STS Technical Services (STS), a company that specializes in delivering end-to-end workforce management solutions for the aerospace, defense, manufacturing and industrial industries, is named by Energage as a winner of the “2023 Top Workplaces USA” award.

The Top Workplaces USA Awards celebrate organizations with 150 or more employees that have built great cultures. The program has a 15-year history of surveying more than 20 million employees and recognizing the top organizations in the United States and across 60 national markets.

“We are extremely excited to be included in this years Top Workplaces USA Awards,” states Rick Koenig, President of STS Technical Services. “This award recognizes companies that take time to focus on more than just profits and losses. It focuses on companies that truly care and invest in their employees. One of the things that I am personally most proud of is how much employee growth means to the culture of STS Technical Services. Every member of my executive, director and management teams are employees who started off in this company as a Recruiter. In fact, I started with the company almost 28 years ago as an entry-level Recruiter. It was my first job out of college. I have now completed my twelfth year as president of STS Technical Services, and I think it’s safe to say that career growth is woven into the fabric of who we are.”

Over 42,000 organizations were invited to participate in the Top Workplaces USA survey in 2023, and the winners were chosen based solely on employee feedback, gathered through an employee engagement survey, issued by Energage. Award results are calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, which include 15 culture drivers that are proven to predict high performance against industry benchmarks.

“It’s hard to fully define the impact COVID-19 had on our company culture given that we transitioned from an in-office team to a mostly remote-based workforce. That being said, we knew that culture had to remain a central focus of operations… remote work or not,” states Chuck Harrison, Vice President of Sales for STS Technical Services. “At STS Technical Services, work is more than a four letter word. We want to do our jobs with a sense of purpose, accomplishment, and teamwork. So this award means a lot to us because, at some level, this acknowledges a form of accomplishment for just that. We are proud to have established a culture of promotion from within. We are also proud to be a company that, from the President to its newest employee, enjoys each other’s company and respect one another not only as colleagues but also as people. This is a great honor for our team, and it’s one I hope they revel in.”
