I find it difficult to believe that people have genuinely been trying for 6 years to get a job and still haven’t got one.

When you are trying to get your first job you should be applying for absolutely anything, anywhere in the world; even if it means flying a washing machine in the back end of Asia - you need the experience! If you are going to be a job snob then accept your unemployed fate.

If that doesn’t suit you and you need to be closer to home for whatever reason; then go get an instructors rating. You can keep the day job, be at home with the boss & kids and instruct in your spare time putting meaningful hours in the log book and staying current. Within a couple of years you have enough hours to instruct at an integrated school and can afford to quit the day job. By this stage, if you haven’t already got an airline job through your experience and networking, you soon will.

Folks you'll be glad to know I'm not charging anything for this advice unlike these interview courses that treat you like cash cows just like a lot of the flying schools.
