About James Onieal

In 2007 I was the youngest pilot ever hired by NetJets and flying celebrities and executives all over the US.Then, in 2010 I got laid off.Flying was my entire identity. Put me in a cockpit, and I knew exactly what to do. Furlough me, and even when I knew what to do, I couldn’t move.So that\'s exactly what I did for three weeks.I lay there, paralyzed on the couch, knowing exactly what to do and doing nothing.Eventually, my wife Ilene (a Dispatcher with a degree in Meteorology) came home and said, “Ok, here’s the deal: you tell me what you need to do, and I will do it for you.”I showed her how to find the names of all the people I needed to target. She put together the list, wrote and printed my resume, and pressed my suits.She even drove me to every single interview and networking event.And when I’d get rejected, she’d give me a hug and drive me to the next place.That’s when it clicked.Finding a job isn’t about resumes and applications and interview prep.It’s about having someone there with you when you are feeling down. Someone to keep you calm, hold your hand, and tell you that you can do it.Or when you are being too egotistical, to be honest enough to tell you to get off of your high horse.When you’re riding those waves, you need someone to be that voice of reason (VOR). So, in addition to flying for a living (I eventually did get another job and currently fly for the FAA), Ilene and I started helping our buddies get flying jobs, too.That worked out pretty well.So, on January 11, 2010, I started Raven to help even more pilots get the same kind of help that I needed.Not just to help pilots get flying jobs. But more importantly, it helps pilots achieve true happiness and fulfillment.The results so far have been phenomenal.→ 4K pilots (and their families) hired by their #1 choice.→ 28K+ people read my weekly newsletter.→ 15k hours of 1-on-1 interview prep delivered.→ 5K hours of 1-on-1 coaching, helping pilots and their families make the right decisions.Sign up for a 1-on-1 strategy call.→ GO HERE: https://bit.ly/james-linkedin-Email: j••••••••@ravencareers.comX:@‌JamesOnieal
