As some of you maybe aware from my diaries that i have recently completed my JAA CPL/ME/IR/MCC. I have come to a point where i have sent out over 1500 cover letters and CV's. And only had at best a 100 replies saying what i had expected "Thanks but not recruiting" or " not enough experience". I have also sent out over 500 CV's for engineering but again the same responce.

So i am trying to think out of the box and require some advice, I am thinking about grabbing a bag and going to Africa and knocking on peoples doors. Or paying for a TR + hours on a SAAB 340. I know i should go for a A320/B737 but dont have that much funds.

So please advice as i am starting to get under my familes feet and need to get employed again ASAP.

I dont wish this thread to turn out to be "pay or not to pay TR" thread.

I dont have any loans on my head as i used my own funds to Train.

So again please could you help with what you would do if you were in my shoes, and also where would you go in Africa and who's doors would you knock on??

Many thanks in advance!!! ]]> Kash360 http://www.pprune.org/interviews-jobs-sponsorship/396474-please-help-africa-tr-hours.html http://www.pprune.org/interviews-jobs-sponsorship/396413-png-job-hunting-advice.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:13:23 GMT Hi,

This is my first time posting, so hope I'm doing it right.
I'm after any advice or help regarding flying in PNG, I'm looking for twin time and have been told that may be the place to go. Currently have my 1000 pic single and now getting desperate for work.
If anyone knows of any twin operators in PNG or the general pacific area (or world for that matter, flying an NZCPL/ICAO) worth trying could you please let me know.
Have sent a few (lot of) CV's out, but realise that the doorknock will be my best bet, now just trying to find the best place/places to do my knocking.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies, any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Regards

Ive just finished my degree and am in a position to start my training. My question is to those who have done it, would it be worth me starting my training now or waiting a year or so? I would really like to travel a bit and see the world before sticking my head down and obtaining my CPL but at the same time i really want to start flying. I know the industry is a bit fragile at the moment and there are no jobs especially for such low hour pilots.

Would it be worth my time going overseas for a year or so, come back and get hard into it? That way i dont have the HUGE debt over my head aswell as being eligible still for any ab-intio cadet schemes that may surface during the next year.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks ]]> aimskyhigh88 http://www.pprune.org/interviews-jobs-sponsorship/396335-train-now-hold-out.html
