It looks like there is a instructor shortage at the moment. Get your FI and you will probably find it easier to get work, worked for me (I also think it improves your pilot skills).
That must be the same myth than the "pilot shortage" I keep hearing about..
I am an 8000 hour pilot with all FI/TRI/TRE privileges, and have been looking for a job all over Europe for a year now..... Nothing....
Unless you are a 500 hours pilot with FI and a cabri rating, willing to work 6 days a week for 1000 Euro a month, that is..
