Newbie Jobs

I'm 30 years old, work full-time and late last year, I started a course at SOAR, Moorabbin, training on the Bristells.

I've got a good two years or so left to get to where I want, as I am doing it part-time, with partial VET-FEE assistance. I am however curious as to where you'd normally find the listing for jobs the entry level pilots would be after i.e. bush pilots etc.. Are there any specialised aviation job boards etc. for AUS and Oceanic, or potentially even globally? (I've been looking at Aus Fed of Pilots and PPRUNE mostly)

I've got a good two years before I'll need it, but I want to start the research and gather the information as early as I can. Is being an instructor the only viable first step into an aviation career and what are the disadvantages of being one?



Also, any opinions on how a CPL pilot who trained on Bristells would be looked at by an employer, against someone who trains on more typical trainers such as Cessnas?

Thanks for the advise. Good day to all.
