There were no available career opportunities on the company's website at the time this blog entry was published. (link to company website: http://www.corporateeagle.com)
3. On management side, I could see many opportunities in General Aviation. I could definitely see opportunities in managing airports that cater primarily for GA. It could vary from airport management to airport planning. One could also focus on managing FBO's.
5. Two positions for management students could be:
- Terminal Planner for an airport consultation firm. Although this position might require more experience for a candidate than just a degree. https://jacobsendaniels.hiringthing.com/job/41318/terminal-planner
- Because of my past customer service experience, experience in sales, and cash handling experience, I can use the business side of my Aviation Management degree to become a personal banker upon graduation. https://jpmchase.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=3206829&src=JB-13027
6. Although this assignment opened my eyes to other possible opportunities I might have in management, it did not change my plans. I have always been passionate about commercial aviation and the airline business. That is where I see my future at. I also eel confident that I can find a job elsewhere if needed such as in the banking industry.
Terminal Planner seems very interesting! The Business Minor can help with exploring other career paths other than aviation. The business classes have been very useful to me
ReplyDeleteThis assignment also broadened my option when it comes to other potential opportunities that are available. I like how you looked into the corporate eagle company which provides services around metro Detroit it was very informational the amount of detail you went into.
ReplyDeleteTerminal planner would be a pretty cool and rewarding position. Staying in the aviation industry would be my recommendation.
