That elusive first job.....

I'm in a college aviation program. When I graduate, this should give me around 200 hours with a commercial multi-ifr.

In the meantime, I plan on taking a 50 hour float course on C180's, with a beaver introduction. This might get me a summer dock job and another 20-25 hours.

I might also go to BC to take a mountain flying course. (~10-15 hrs.)

I'm an avid fisherman (should go well among the bush operators), and I love skydiving (gives me a chance at a drop zone job). I have ramp experience on everything from C208's through to B757-200's.

So, with about 250-290 hours, a multi-ifr, an aviation technology diploma, and 50-75 hours on floats (C180), how are my prospects for a first job?

If you were hiring for an entry level position, and my resume was in front of you, how would I compare with everyone else?
