Dear All

After nearly 3 years of light aircraft instruction i'm skint, really skint am now in need of moving onwards and hopefully upwards.
As per the rest of the world i have sent many an email and CV thorugh the post to little effect so far.
An area where i think i have been lacking is the Biz jet market, and as a novice in this area would be grateful of any advice.
Although terminally short of cash, i could if need be able to borrow to sponsor myself thorugh a type rating.
Well as you can imagine here's the rub, without an employer in mind and in your experience where would you put your money, and what type would it be on.
A friend of mine a couple of years back did get a learjet rating after being offered a JOB! After 3 months of flying he asked when he might get paid to be told he would was offered a JOB but they didn't say they would pay him for it!!! Unusual i hope and am sure, but to be frank at this stage if i can gain any information from others mistakes or achievements then great.
I accept it's a gamble and the big odd if you like is myself and how hard i work, but if anyone could offer some positive advice then thank you.
