Hi,
Personally, I think your odds of getting employment as an instructor are very similar to your odds of getting employment as a pilot in any other capacity.
I think AV8 is one of the fortunate ones. I spent 6 months looking for work, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right places.
It comes down to being in the right place at the right time, being determined and marketing yourself properly.
Usually the guys who get the jobs in the end make their own luck, so to a certain extent it really is up to you. Try and make yourself stand out from the pack if possible.
Best of luck
Cheers,
Grade 3
P.S. Pretty sure that job in the Oz is filled now, but still send a resume through, you never know your luck!
