When you finish your training you will have one advantage compared to all the other Pilots looking for job.......your a AIRCRAFT ENGINEER.You must use this to your advantage.You should target specific companies where you know if you get yourself working in the hangar...you can progress to the Flying side.I did it back in 1999, when I had 400 hours and about 6 years experience as a A/C Engineer.I worked for small Piston operator in Oz.............and 3 months later i was flying their Cessna 182 and then my career got going, moving onto twins etc .I then Left Oz and ended up in the Caribbean( I had 2000 TT) , again I got a job down there flying because I could help fix the planes aswell.The company I am working for now is the first company I have worked for where i dont have to work on the planes after worK!!Its great and i finally made it flying a Turbo Prop hauling freight.
Hope that helps
Cheers FM
